Plex is very usable without the Plex Pass.
- codeaken 11y agoBefore I could access my media server with the iPhone app. Then all of a sudden I was forced to register for a Plex Pass to be able do this. For me at least, that made the whole app unusable.
- SG- 11y agothe mobile apps are free as remote or for $4-5 or so you can unlock the ability to play and sync media without a plex pass like before.
- hedwall 11y agoYou can play on iDevices without a subscription, but you can't sync.
- majora2007 11y agoFor iOS, they actually require Plex Pass for syncing, which is kinda a shame as I, the server owner have it, but why should my users have to subscribe?
- johnpowell 11y agoThey don't. I have a plex pass and the people that use my server that don't have it can sync fine.
- mikewhy 11y agoYeah there's nothing about Plex or any apps that requires a Plex Pass. When an app for a new platform is in beta it is put behind the Pass, but that's it.
- sagarun 11y agoAgree. My Vizio TV has a plex app, but i can't use it without plexpass. I gave up and now running kodi on raspberrypi
- kayone 11y agoFull discourage, I work for plex on plex media player and smart tv platforms, we removed the plex pass requirement for smart TVs a few days ago, they are all free to all users. But as someone that works with smart TVs many hours a day, I would stay with rpi, it's a much much better platform, can direct play more formats without need for transcoding and in general more stable.
