What is this product? I have been at sea for years and haven't followed the newest filching attempts by capital.
Plex is an app for your personally owned video and music files. It has a decent interface and you can share your library with friends. You need to have your own server at home, but plex apps can’t run independently without being logged into the plex external server.
The plex pass is essentially paying for transcoding your media into more streamable formats.
Sounds like a security risk to me, to expose my (of course very legal) files to some rando internet company.
Agreed.
lmao, that is so much worse than i imagined.
It's like having a streaming service GUI but for all of your pirated content for when you're watching tv on the couch. Will categorize, populate descriptions of shows etc etc
Okay, thank you for explaining. It sounds highly unnecessary.
It also has social features so you can access your friend's media servers from the same interface. It was much cheaper when I started using it tho and jellyfijellyfish n was not nearly as nice as it is nnow. o
Stremio does the same thing and I don't even have to keep the files downloaded.
