Just bought lifetime Plex Pass

Rewind on pause. Credits skip, intro skip, hw transcoding if needed.

I wish I had years ago. Bought the monthly way back when you needed it to stream to the Playstation and mobile, and have just continued ever since. I’ve been telling myself lately that I’ll make the leap this November.

Gonna be risky and wait for Black Friday. 75$ is little high for my pocket

Hey all!!! New to Plex but picked it up pretty quickly and now I really enjoying watching my media and being able to share my media with family and friends. Just don’t know if Plex lifetime pass is right for me, besides doing my part for the creators of Plex, downloading and keeping it in my phone, being able to watch it on my phone. What else can it do for me? Please don’t attack me lol

The phone and pad apps. And downloading music to my devices or playing them over the air in the car from my computer. 2016 here. Don’t know how much I paid.

Have plex sonically analyse your music collection for starters. Then you can use the DJs, radios and sonic adventures features of plexamp. https://support.plex.tv/articles/sonic-analysis-music/

I pay monthly and never get any deals for a lifetime membership. Does anyone know if I cancel my monthly plex pass if they will try and make me stay with a better deal? Been paying for 10 years now and only pay £2.79 a month as apposed to what looks like it should now be £3.99 a month!

Don’t bother with plexamp if you have a large bespoked music library. Waste of fucking time. Can’t read wav files, can’t organise albums. What a shit show. Awesome for videos and video management though. A1.

Did you seriously buy Plex Pass not knowing why?

Hardware transcoding plus intel quicksync changed the game for me with a limited upstream bandwidth. The peace of mind of knowing the server will just make it work for remote users means I never have to think about content codec/bitrate, or about trying to show people how to adjust their client settings.

Is that a pass feature? It’s worth it just for that! I bought it years ago on sale just to support them.

I personally also got it for skip intro and credits purely, but it sorta irked me coming from jellyfin where these features were available readily. I am still irked how there’s no auto skip option on PC and web clients.

However, came to make use of HW transcoding, webhooks and downloads features, which more than made up for it.

Downloads are nice too! A few Bluey episodes for my kid to watch on the plane was a lifesaver.

Can my Dell Optiplex running Plex in a Proxmox container use hardware acceleration?

Unless you’ve been impatiently waiting for what seems like forever for this finally to come to iOS!!!

Paying for hardware acceleration which both your hardware and the encoders in ffmpeg support, is absolutely absurd to me. Same for the intro/credit detection, everything happens on-device anyway.

Can you do this with direcTV stream?

I hadn’t seen the new audio speed option yet! Nice!

Does the speed up work on all devices? How do you get this update?

I wish I could start a show from the beginning while it’s still recording though
