Ensure you actually need premium features before buying. As fyi, the dvr functionality is spotty at best (see their forums for proof). Last time I checked it STILL does not support recording encrypted/DRM cable TV. Something that Android TV's like the NVDIA Shield can do and also the Silicondust HDHomerun.

PSA: If you are just streaming on your home network, the free version has everything you need. Also, you can always setup a home network VPN and connect to it through the internet as a workaround.

Still, programmers do need to eat and feed their families, if you are benefited from Plex, even from the free version, please consider paying for the lifetime pass or for the monthly subscription. Similar with Emby and Jellyfin, consider paying or donating so that new features can be added.

Thanks, op! Been waiting for a deal like this. As for why it's a good deal for me, I have in-laws in the city and other family members who I would like to be able to access the server. As well as my wife and myself and kids being able to stream on our phones while we're out. I think it's like $5 a device without the pass.
What feature are you getting from Plex Pass that justifies it's cost over a non-paid instance?

Isn't the Plex app free to use on Android?

Always fun knowing if you live in the US you get to pay more for things, well, just because.

Doubt you can, just chalk it up to you win some you lose some. Unless they have some sort of satisfaction guarantee

No PayPal tho. And I am absolutely sure my credit card will flag this as fraud.
So call your bank ahead of time and tell them you are making an international charge. Then they won't flag it as fraud.

I have synology Nas don't know what plex is or what it does but will look into it this weekend.

Plex is an application that follows the Host + Client model. Host in this case is the same thing as server. The client apps are free, at least in most platforms like Android, windows, Linux, NAS, TVs, etc. I'm not sure as I don't have apple products, but I read in this thread that the client app for iOS is not free, which is not a surprise to anyone. What the client those is that it connects through the internet or your local home network to the Server and lets you consume media like pictures, movies, and music.


The Host or Server side has two flavors, free and paid. This is what gets almost everyone confused, because Plex gives you a lot for free on the server side. What the server does is that it runs in your personal Computer, or any other devices that supports it like your NVIDIA Shield, some android devices, NAS, etc. You basically tell the Plex server where your you have your picture, music, and videos stored and it will make those available to all your client devices. If you have a TV Tuner like a Silicondust HD Homerun, Tablo, or Hauppauge, the Plex Server can act as the front end for those too and give access to your clients.


If you are using a TV tuner paying for the Plex Pass allows your server to grab the TV schedule and record TV to a local storage. You can then stream those on your clients. One thing that makes Plex almost useless for recording TV from cable sources is that most Cable companies encrypt with DRM their programing and Plex is unable to decrypt it. So it basically only works for over the air antenna TV.


With the paid version I believe the other feature is that it allows you to stream through the internet, as with the non paid version you can only stream stuff locally in your network. This is not an issue for some as you can setup a VPN and connect to the VPN to work around this.


The other benefit of Plex server is that it transcodes on the fly. What that means is that for example, if you recorded an UHD 4K video of your friend's wedding using your Samsung S20 and saved it to your Plex Sever, and then you mom wants to watch it from work, she can see it from the Plex client that has access to your server. But in the background instead of streaming 4K to your mom's cellphone that will take for ever Plex converts the file to FHD 1080p or even DVD quality 480p automatically on the fly. Plex is smart enough to determine what quality work best to stream it to your mom's cellphone.


If the server that you have Plex running on has a GPU or some kind of hardware capable of encoding video, with the paid version Plex will use that hardware which enhances the on the fly transcoding.


Another good feature it has that you can upload pictures to you server from your phone. That will save you some money now that there aren't that many good alternatives for Google's free unlimited photo service (btw, check out mega.nz which gives 50GB free of picture video storage).


This post might give a better idea of what plex is and what the paid versus free differences are:

Blah, FireTV app not connecting to server. Many have this issue (I now see after buying this).
Maybe they'll give a refund w/o a bunch of crap.
Dodged a bullet here:

"We have cancelled your Plex Pass subscription. Plex Pass subscriptions are usually non-refundable. However, we've made an exception in your case and initiated a refund of the recent charge for you."

I paid for the plex app as the interface of the app is nicer than using the web interface. The ONLY paid subscription feature that would be nice to have is the option to save episodes to your phone to watch offline. However, something just feels wrong having to pay to access your own content.
As a workaround, I just download the files to my phone manually whenever I want something for offline viewing.
