Go to Settings > System > Developer Options > Enable “Apps from Unknown Sources”



A tickbox is all that stops you from sideloading whatever the hell you want. Very hard.

Is this how Plex works?
More or less. Plex is cool, you set it up on the machine that has all your media and then any other plex app can log in and view it. It'll transcode the media if it needs to and stream it over LAN or internet.

That said, it has its flaws as well. When inside my network, I prefer good ol' Kodi to watch the stuff on my server, but outside the network Plex is by far the easiest.
