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.

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

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?

Plex Media Server- Settings : Network : List of IP Addresses and Networks that are allowed with Auth : 192.168.4.0/24, e.g.

First thing I disable.

From what I saw, they will be able to remotely stream from your PMS (if you don’t have Plex Pass) for a fee of $2/month or $20/year.

Except no debrid service.

There’s no need for torrenting with services like Stremio (with Real-Debrid).

Does this mean I can stop prefacing my AI requests with “According to Reddit…”?

Or AAC/ALAC, in Apple’s case.

I block the ads by using SmartTube on my Shield Pro. But for my AppleTV 4K, I prefer paying a few bucks for Premium for a smooth experience ☻.

I mean, it’s something like $7-8 for 6 months via a one-time VPN payment in India or the like. Definitely worth it.

The silliest one is my Plex web admin page. I even had to make a Github issue request about it, and found a bunch of others who had done the same thing.

Several government websites, among others. I should start a list. I’m sure it’s a combo of unlock origin with FF’s privacy protection settings, but I’ve tweaked it so much for the websites that are broken and nothing ever changed. Switched over to Safari and everything loads beautifully.

Safari. Firefox borks out on so many websites for me. Safari “just works.”

Luckily they last a super long time with regular software updates and security patches!
