I have an lifetime plex pass membership. I think it cost $120. I am not sure how they will be able to continue to offer me plex cloud, as servers which plex are paying for must be doing the transcoding. The bill for CPU must be fairly hefty if people really start to use this.
- bubblethink 10y agoMaybe transcoding won't be needed eventually for a majority of users ? A lot of media right now exists in h264 which newer devices can anyway play. Since AV1 has broad industry support, it might be also become ubiquitous.
- lotyrin 10y agoMost of my transcoding usage in Plex isn't for a target codec or target resolution, but for a target bitrate.
- luhn 10y agoPerhaps they transcode to multiple formats/bitrates locally before upload?
- matrixagent 10y agoThat's not the case, and it would be utterly unusable for 90% of users.
- dantiberian 10y agoI'm pretty sure this is still a trial and they will eventually charge for it. I seem to remember reading something like that when it was first announced.
