Plex offering lifetie plexpass again..sell me on this.

why do i need this?

The most compelling pay feature to me is the OTA DVR functionality, and for me personally it's not that compelling. I'd rather hold out for more locals to get added to the streamers than trying to get my wife to use a different app for watching locals.

my wife is already pretty comfortable with plex (damn good thing since i cancelled netflix ) so i'd be curious how they implemented the 'watch live tv' or dvr-d tv shows UX.

I believe Korkstand switched from Tablo to Plex so he can probably tell you about it.

I've been using Tablo AND Plex for a while, I've just recently started considering selling my Tablo and getting an HDHomerun to move my OTA DVR into Plex. But if you can't get any signals that won't mean much to you.

I got Plex Pass at that same discount a while back, and I'm glad I did. It unlocks all the features of the mobile app (including media sync for offline playback, and mobile photo upload if you don't trust Google with your photos) for starters. I think you can do this for $5 per device without PP, but it's nice that it's included in PP.

PP unlocks multi-user with parental controls.

I don't use Plex for music much, but PP unlocks a lot of features for that.

That's enough for me for it to easily be worth $75 for lifetime. And then you get whatever features they add in the future, too.




It's only $75 man, just get it.

I'm not seeing this as an option.

Maybe I need to cancel my monthly sub.

Where do you see this?

I tried downloading plex. I could never get it to work. Covenant, exodus and elysium are all shut right now on kodi. I don't know what to do.

Does Emby readily have apps on smart TVs and media streaming devices like plex does?

I’ve heard the arguments for both by can’t remember them. I prefer plex because I’m comfortable with it and it’s what I share with all my friends and they share their servers back.

I am perpetually amazed at the number of people who can't figure out how to use Google to solve their issues.

Yes and no. It admittedly is less widespread , but it does cover Roku, which is a huge player in the in--network streaming game.

That's basically what I am asking for here. Emmy "unlocks" live streaming of unencrypted channels at the "basic" (free) tier, which Plex does not. I'm not trying to argue which is better at the paid level by any means. I'm curious as to if anyone has really got bullet points on one v the other at dithering free or paid tier.

So far, Plex seems to win the WAR (wife approval rating, not to be confused with baseball WAR, which is way overrated. When it comes to home theater + HTPC use, WAR is significantly more important than functionality and features combined, in my very humble opinion.



Please excuse any lack of logic or grammar in the above. I'm currently honeymooning and drunk.

Thanks. I cancelled and if they offer me the same deal I will probably jump on it.
