LTT recently had a podcast discussing Plex and Jellyfin (and what they currently prefer to use) https://youtu.be/bbY3PNZUMVg

Some people noted in previous threads that if you live in countries other than the United States, you may see lower pricing (such as Colombia).

A common question is, is Plex Pass worth it? Here is a feature overview: https://support.plex.tv/articles/...-overview/

Same here after the changes to Amazon music I decided to migrate back to my own library.

If you use Android try symfonium music player a try. I enjoy the experience more than Plexamp. And for audiobooks the chronicle app.

Correct you are wrong. They do have sales often but normal price is $120.

Yeah, IDGAF about "normal" price on pretty much anything LMAO, otherwise I wouldn't be on this website so much. But you are not wrong either, most of the sales are for $89.99 however they seem to have targeted offers for $74.99 from time to time, judging by my mailbox. That's exactly what I wanted to know, so I'll pass this one and wait for the $75 one.

Quote from Jared4 :
I prefer Jellyfin these days, but it hasn't been around as long as Plex. I appreciate the ethos of the people behind it (FOSS). I think Plex is going to continue to add more features to line their pockets. Was a Plex user for around 15 years (ran it off my Xbox 360 when that was still the current gen system), but just switched to Jellyfin a few months ago.
I'm a long time xbmc user, but I'm finally considering a move to plex/emby/jellyfin. Leaning towards jellyfin as I have a FOSS bias, but Plex is obviously the big player here and might be easier to setup and use for other users.

I've never needed transcoding or anything like that, but lately my content has gotten dramatically larger (and that's not even jumping to 4k). E.g. I just went on a trip and wanted to access some content while I was away...but the movie was 30+GB and it took a LONG time for me to grab it from my home computer where the cable modem can only upload at ~20mbps max. Also my wife wanted to put some episodes on her tablet for the plane ride and a single HD episode was coming in at like 3-4gb which quicky filled her available storage...gone are the days where a 1-hour show comes in at 750-850mb so transcoding and ability to download smaller sizes in apps would be nice.

Does anyone know when this deal will end? (end of 2022?)

I'm still debating buying this or trying Jellyfin. (I recently bought an HDHR)

So one of the main features offered by Plex Pas - downloading to local devices - is broken according to Linus? I just got the Nvidia Shield - and as he says (as do most people) it runs Plex flawlessly.
You gotta take everything Linus says with a grain of salt. While I enjoy his channel from time to time, he's a bit too eccentric of a geek for my tastes and must just have the worse luck. Frankly he's not patient enough to keep tinkering on the bleeding edge of tech.

While I've never had any issues downloading content locally with Plex I had to laugh at his "night before a flight" problem. Just apply the KISS principle. In the time he spent firing off an angry email to his staff he could have just copied some content locally (USB or wifi or SD card), and fired up VLC on the airplane.

I came here to recommend symfonium as well. The dev is very responsive on his forums and sorted out a unique issue that I was having.

I've always been a fan of hosting all my own media on my NAS and that's why I have Plex w/Plex Pass (purchased years ago at a discount) to begin with. I don't use any streaming services.
You're right the developer is really responsive. I had been using his yatse remote app for a long time with kodi and roku.

I've been really impressed with symfonium. I like it has the ability to add additional sources from plex servers. Offline listenings important he makes it easy.

Nearly impossible to download? I just opened the Amazon Music app on PC, selected Library>Music>Albums - clicked "Purchased" at the top and it shows everything I've bought. Then to download the album I hover over the picture, click the 3 dots and select Download.

Took me 10 seconds to get to it. Not even remotely "impossible."

Also not sure what you mean by on-demand music you bought being shuffled with other music. I can stream any music I've bought without other music being put into the stream. I stream any album I've bought with no issue and playlists I've made from albums/songs I've bought play exactly what I want.

I don't like the Amazon Music app much at all, but I don't see anything like you say.
Not sure if you are paying for any additional services but the only option with the free account is to "play similar music in your library using the Android and iOS apps.

When you select any of the individual tracks it starts playing a random song within the album .

I bought plex pass years ago at full price. Still one of my best purchases software-wise. It just works with everything that I throw at it.

I guess this is what I don't understand. I've always used VLC media player (free) and it plays pretty much everything. How is Plex soo much different?

VLC is a media player. Plex is a media server in addition to a media player.

Take a look, you'll thank me later, there is a whole other world to Plex.

Quote from jmboulos :
Hardware-Accelerated Streaming
When using a compatible device or processor on the Plex Media Server, subscribers can make use of hardware acceleration when content needs to be converted (transcoded) during streaming. This can be faster and more power-efficient for users.

I didn't realize that was a paid feature. I thought I got hardware transcoding with the free version
3 devices include hardware transcoding for free without the Plex Pass. If your plex server is running on Nvidia shield, WD My Cloud Pro PR2100, and WD My Cloud Pro PR4100 transcoding is included free.

https://support.plex.tv/articles/...streaming/

There may be other devices, but that's straight from Plex. I was 99% certain my "My Cloud Home" included hardware transcoding but that doesn't seem to be the case. I hate that device anyway.

It's two different things. You can run a plex server and it organizes your media and does all the heavy lifting for streaming your media. Then you can stream to devices like a roku (which doesn't support vlc).

If you're the only person using it and vlc does what you need, then plex is unnecessary.

Veteran Plex-er here. PlexAmp is terrible. If you want to unlock God mode, download "Prism Music" and "Prologue" for iOS and prepare yourself for the best music and audiobook readers in existence.
No idea what you are on about. PlexAmp is the best music player on Android period.
