Been waiting for it this yeaaaarrrr!!!! Wooooo


FANSFIRST25 is the promo code you need!
Access to the app for streaming away from home. Main benefit is, it enables GPU transcoding. Some of my devices do not support the formats in my library.

Kinda confused what Plex even is. The website has icons of Amazon prime Netflix, Hulu, and other streaming services. Very confused as to what exactly it is? Can you watch shows from those services without subscriptions or is it just
a streaming service manager/organizer?
Your best bet is to watch a video or two on Plex. Here's a couple that should clear up what Plex is used for.

Can anyone suggest if PLEX PASS is applicable to the PLEX account holder or PLEX Server(s).
Say if a PLEX Account has two servers running on two different machines, would both these servers have PLEX PASS features?
[Case 01.] One PLEX PASS account>>two PLEX servers>>on two different machines/PC ( on same Network/Location )
[Case 02.] One PLEX PASS account>>two PLEX servers>>on two different machines/PC ( at two different Locations/Networks )

FYI, if you are planning to use Plex along with a TV Tuner as the HD Homerun Flex 4K ATSC 3.0 tuner for local over the air broadcasts... There is an ongoing issue regarding Sound with AC4 broadcast sound.

https://forums.plex.tv/t/atsc3-0-...und/647437

Long read but bottom line is Plex has no solution.
Wow! I did not know that HD Homerun still exists. Been there, done that using Windows Media Center back then.

Wait, annual lifetime? Is this annual thing or a lifetime thing? 🤔

Also, anyone pop in some advice on the major differences that are useful for paid sub vs free?
Worth it for skip intro alone

A noob question, what's benefit using this over play directly from NAS with Apple TV etc? I can easily play 80 g file without compressing
The main benefit imo is ability to have your server do hardware transcoding using your CPUs integrated GPU using Intel quick sync, which is really fast and power efficient

this is incredibly useful since a lot of streaming sticks don't support all audio/video codecs so you often end up transcoding even locally. Roku for example, and most smart TVs, often run into this

Plex leaves a lot to be desired, but some of the complaints in this thread are just nutty.

Yes, they've been focusing a lot on aggregate and "social" features, but you can turn all of that off globally in the server settings and never see it again.

One of the aggregate features called "Discovery" actually isn't all that bad as a concept, whereby you add all the streaming providers you subscribe to and you can browse it all from one interface.

As for the claim that your data is being sold... what data? They don't have access to what's on your server, so the most you've given them is standard sign up information.

If we're going to complain, how about the fact that the interface hasn't been updated in forever and is still clunky in some areas? Or what about the fact that subtitles still have tons of issues and you can't control the font/size/etc?

Now, as for Plex Pass itself, you can totally get by without it if you're just hosting content to stream around your house. It's very unlikely that you need transcoding at all if your device can already handle the content and your network is fast enough. And if you're more technically inclined, it doesn't take much to get Jellyfin set up alongside Plex for remote transcoding.

The other tidbits they throw your way are nice to have, but not a major selling point in the least. Intro skip isn't universally available and there's no way to exclude certain shows from auto skip, so it's only a slight step up from doing it manually.

What really becomes the make or break is if you have people you want to share with who aren't technically inclined. You send them a link, they sign up, and they're connected to your library permanently. There's no having to worry about your IP address changing or setting up a VPN.

For the headaches it avoids, I'd say it's a good enough use of $90.
Another fantastic feature is the ability to download content for offline viewing. Recently did that on my kids tablets for 8+ hour road trip and I use it on my phone for work travel on the airplane.

No just the one. Put the server on that account and you are good to go for multiple users connecting to that server
