TLDR:

Current ad free plans for Disney+ and Hulu are now raising $3 more on October 12. Both becoming $13.99 and $17.99.

    What does Plex pass give you that you want to pay for it? I’ve considered it for awhile now but never bought it.

      The features people replied to you plus also just supporting them as they’ve made a good seamless product for free over the years

      Because no one else answered heres what I use a lot.

      Hardware acceleration to use gpu to transcode video.

      Intro detection for tv to skip credits.

      Subtitle search

      Plexamp is a pretty good music player.

      I paid for the lifetime pass on sale for $100 which I think is a pretty good deal.

      A bunch of useless shit that no one asked for. The only useful thing I could see for the Plex Pass would be for HDR to SDR tone mapping.

        I have two kids so having Plex sync (or whatever it’s called now) is a must have when we go on trips. Use our server to put movies/shows on their tablets.

          Managed accounts is a huge one for me. Even with just one extra person in your household, it is a lifesaver for keeping everything separate.

      Hardware transcoding, if your hardware has support for it, the ability to analyse media and skip intros and HDR tone mapping mostly.

        Does the HDR tone mapping work for other users? I have an HDR capable OLED but most of my friends using my Plex server have TVs with no HDR support so the HDR content I download looks like ass for them. I’d like to fix that, but not if every single user has to pay for it.

            HDR to SDR tone mapping support is currently available as a Plex Pass preview and requires an active Plex Pass subscription for the main Plex Media Server account.

            Okay cool, so it sounds like it would fix this issue for all my users as long as I maintain Plex Pass or buy a lifetime subscription. I might consider this since it’s easier than talking my friends into investing in a nice HDR TV or watching shows from their house and feeling pained that they don’t seem to care.
