Two I am aware of - PVR functions, offline mode on mobile devices
Are you able to elaborate on the PVR function with respect to Australia?
https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/202526943-Plex-Fre… —> Not sure it's worth it to be honest but those are the differences
Main advantages are:
*Online access to your files. I can stream my movies when at a friend's house or overseas etc. (Obviously uses your uploads to send, & your current connection or wifi to receive).
*No restrictions on mobile platforms' apps (eg. streaming time limits) (Note: you can also purchase apps individually for a fee per platform/account, but this makes all apps free to use.)
*Can sync for offline use.
*Now has DVR ability for paid members.https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/202526943-Plex-Fre…
I use online access (/away from home) & offline saving all the time. Especially great for travelling!!

Can do that in the free version already.
Yep and mine syncs fine. And iOS app is unlimited. It cost $6.45
Weird.
Ah, you're right. With some digging, it must've been app restrictions that stopped me when I tested it ages ago not the Pass itself.
To support the developers for the best software out there.
you also get access to trailers and bonus features,
What does the DVR record from?
I mean, my personal one records the FTA channels. What does Plex's DVR actually record?You would have to get one of their supported DVR devices, like a HDHomeRun Connect
I have this app on my phone to stream movies from my HTPC and cast it to the big screen BUT it keeps crashing! On a good day, it'll work for maybe 30-40 minutes. On a bad day, 5-10 minutes. I'll then have to log in to my HTPC, kill and restart the plex server. Anyone else having this issue?
Could be a million reasons. Checked Plex Media Server logs?
Thanks zuccs. I know next to nothing about all these I.T. stuff but I'll have a look at the logs and see if I can figure something out.
I pay because it is the most useful and regularly used software I have
Best functions are sync to mobile devices so you can use when out of wifi coverage and also managed home groups. I can assign users to the kids so that they can track where they are up to.
This also supports the developers which is a big thumbs up!
Do you know if this works if I only buy the phone app rather than the full subscription?
Mobile Sync is something I'd like, but I don't know that I need it enough to warrant spending the money…
No, it has to be plex pass. The app purely opens up streaming to the device
Okay. Thanks. Thats a shame, as you can already stream on the device with the webpage from the phone…
Does anyone know when this deal started? I checked a few days ago and it was already available at $119 USD
Seems to be semi-permanent. I clicked on a link from an article late last year to buy it - the article was 2-3mths old, but promo was still valid (same price too, $A$160).
Maybe if they properly supported hardware decoding.
It's completely random but if you have a free account they may occasionally offer you a 50% discount. It's account tied though so there's no codes to share.
Got my membership late last year after receiving such an offer.
Nice one, I've been hanging out for that offer for a long time… maybe one day!
I've had this "discount" for a long time, since last year I think.
i remember when it was like 75aud before they introduced the atv app.
what is the benefit over the free version? i use the free version and don't find any issues with it to the point i'd want to pay for it
