Plex has two pieces. One piece is the server. You would install a program called Plex Media Server on your computer. Then you tell Plex the location of all your movies and media you own. It scans everything and organizes it.
Then you go to your smart tv devices (fire tv, android box, roku, etc) You can install the Plex CLIENT on these and watch the movies from your Plex your server.
Plex is free if that is how you use it.
The Plex PASS is just some additional features for Plex. It lets you watch movies on your phone/mobile devices. You can download movies from your server. It allows "hardware transcoding". Skip intro/skip credits, etc.
Plex lost their way long ago. I want (and bought) to play local media, not have them push their stream crap on me.
Long time Emby user. Love it. UI isn't as polished as Plex but it's worth the effort to use because of my hate for plex streaming.
Also JellyFin.

Plex Pass is "ok" if your use case is 4k hardware transcoding, like if you're sharing your media with other people and they need to stream 4K. Having said that, you don't necessarily need Plex Pass for that (Intel Quick Sync). It really depends on your hardware, use case and bandwidth.
Last I checked for Jellyfin I need to twiddle with my Network settings a lot more, and introduce a reverse proxy that I host somewhere myself. Is that still the case?
Quick question: trying to setup my ebook library with a similar setup but having difficulty. Anybody has any suggestions? I have tried ubooquity and calibre but not able to set it up in ds920 and also not able to access outside home network through app

Video player apps like VLC among others will allow you to add shared folders in the app's library as well.
Also you need to keep that server up, connected and running 24x7, which might not be feasible for everyone
Purchase PlexPass for $75 3 years ago, seems worth it. Simple and easy enough for most users.
