Beware if you host your "content" on dedicated servers. They started implementing IP blocking, so if your hosting your stuff on Hetzner, or services with Hetzner IPs they will start blocking access. Not sure how long before it moves to other providers.

Are you trying to figure out what Plex is or what the Plex Pass is?

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.

I'll be the first.

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.

Let's say your files are on computer A with terabytes of storage. How would you watch that on Apple TV or NVIDIA shield where you have a good surround sound system and a nice big screen?
Been doing just that for years with Kodi and Fire Sticks no issues with streaming or getting the 5.1 surround sound to pass through to my receiver. For all the naysayers I believe this is for people that have devices that can't access remote Network shares

Yep, it's free and easy. Most of these folks here don't seem to know why they're even using Plex. And I literally asked the question!

I've already asked you how to solve several common scenarios. You bailed on every one of them.

Jellyfin is just as good if not better and it's free (open source).

You don't read/can't read, you don't understand/can't understand what you've read. For me to tell you again would be pointless. I do not want to be "spamming" you in any way shape or form. I know it's hard for you to understand.

Your lack of any answer to any points raised is noted. Again.

Plex is terrible. In fact, it's so terrible that Jellyfin was developed which is what Plex used to be. And, it's completely free and even rated higher than Plex. Plex is just a front end to sell you tons of other products and services. No thanks. Plex for a lot of people used to just be a media server and while it still does that, it does a lot of other crap no one is really interested in. You only need two front-ends and that's IPTV Smarters Pro and Jellyfin as far as I am concerned. Check out Jellyfin, trust me.

Love plex. Got lifetime for 75 about 6 years ago. It has steadily been climbing, I believe. Great investment.
In the same boat myself. Was a bday present for myself at the time, glad I went for it.

So much misinformation here. I use jellyfin. It has audio delay settings. In fact, I use it on my Sony TV.
Well I don't have a Sony TV and the web browser version most definitely doesn't have an audio delay option. Neither does the iPhone app. I can't test out any of the other apps since they don't make apps for many devices.

IMO Jellyfin on Roku is the best smart tv version of Jellyfin. UI is smooth and plays without buffering and subtitles work without a hitch.

1. Roku
2. Android/Google TV
3. Apple TV
There is no apple tv jellyfin app. There is swiftfin but it has a lot of issues

Jellyfin is a fork of Emby, not Plex. It's hard to take your opinion seriously when you are so confidently incorrect. Jellyfin is great if you don't need apps but Plex is still king because they have an app for basically everything.

Jellyfin is a fork of Emby, not Plex. It's hard to take your opinion seriously when you are so confidently incorrect. Jellyfin is great if you don't need apps but Plex is still king because they have an app for basically everything.
I think Jellyfin serves a market:

1. Those who have a platform for which there's a Jellyfin app, obviously
2. Those using a computer (Mac, PC, Linux) due to easy app availability
3. Those using a web browser, due to easy playback
4. Those who absolutely won't pay for transcode capability, which Jellyfin has

I think Plex does a better job on the edge cases - they cover everything under the sun, in just about all scenarios. It depends on what you want. While I do see lots of whining around the addition of for-pay audio (Tidal integration), videogames (dropped 2 years ago), and ad-supported movies (easily omitted with a mouseclick or two) there's nothing here that would stop me from strongly recommending it for someone who wants something more than Jellyfin.

In other words, it's not crazy to try out Jellyfin first. It might be enough. It will certainly do more than a USB stick and a router. Smilie

Been using Plex for years but started tinkering with Emby this week. Pretty sure im switching over to that fully by Christmas. Just like the more simplistic approach. Only had a few issues with Plex over the years but it never felt like home.
