Is that 100 Gecs

Hmm, I’m not familiar with any region locks on these devices… Projectivy is available in the Google Play Store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spocky.projengmenu

The Onn 4K Pro is the best budget Android tv device right now. The launcher I recommend is called Projectivy.

I’ve tasted other cocoas. This is the best!

Or all-natural cocoa beans from the upper slopes of Mount Nicaragua. No artificial sweeteners.

I love your red dress.

Oh hai, Mark!

Doesn’t the player itself handle the codecs, not the Plex Media Server?

There’s a wonderful episode of King of the Hill called Trans Fascism about trans fats!

So, my users transcode just fine without Plex Pass. I believe. You are referring to enabling hardware accelerated transcoding, which is a Plex Pass feature. You don’t need Plex Pass to do basic transcoding. That’s a free feature.

As for the proxied connection, I believe. You are referring to Relay. Thats such a low quality that its recommended to disable it and that’s the first thing I do on my PMS.

I believe Infuse (for the ATV4K) will be a decent workaround in the meantime, since it seems to allow remote play from Plex servers without charging, and plays stuff better than the default Plex app anyway, fwiw (like Atmos content).

I’m still confused. Plex isn’t hosting any of my files, so why would remote users downloading them cost Plex anything? If they Direct Stream, there’s no transcoding involved. And if transcoding is involved, and I am not paying for Plex Pass, doesn’t that just happen directly on my server? I don’t see any reason why Plex is charging for my server doing work. Bizarre.

Well, the addition of Plex Movies and Live Channels is certainly shittier.

What’s the reason for $120 to stream my local files to a friend or family member? What exactly does Plex do in this process that would warrant a cost?
