I can't figure out why Emby exists other than for the Richard Stallmans of the world.

Can you guys explain what Plex does over Emby? Does Plex has a WebUI that I can go to on any mobile app for free, no fee required? Can I get Live TV from Plex with no fee required?

The Plex app, if you don't have a Plex Pass sub, is only like $5 to unlock when its not on sale or if it's free (has happened on occasion in the Amazon app store). Five whole dollars. Small price to pay to support the team of devs who've made such a great application imo.

Pretty sure streaming is free on every platform EXCEPT iOS, which costs $5 (or a linked Plex Pass account). Why only iOS you ask? Uhhh... reasons... that might involve massive in-app-purchase profits.

pzy posted:Pretty sure streaming is free on every platform EXCEPT iOS, which costs $5 (or a linked Plex Pass account). Right. If you aren't a Plex Pass sub, the mobile apps for Android and iOS require a $5 to activate/unlock the app. Those are the only Plex apps that incur any kind of fee. The Plex app on tvOS, Roku, Fire TV, Android TV, Playstation, Xbox, and various smart TVs are all free to use with your Plex Media Server.

$5 is like half the cost of just one of the pirated movies you have "backed up" on your Plex server

Does Android cost $5 too? I thought that was free, and iOS was literally the only platform you had to pay to unlock streaming on. That said... I pay for Plex Pass because it's goddamn amazing

Nope, the Plex app for Android based phones and tablets has the $5 unlock fee if you're not a sub. Though it's gone on sale for $1 in the past, and has been free in the Amazon app store from time to time.

 DirecTV Now app has hit Roku, and it's loving awesome. It's kind of hilarious how much better it is than the Fire TV one. The On Demand streaming works perfectly without a hitch.

Looks like if you let the promo plan lapse (stopped mine in March) you don't get the $35/rate again for Go Big. I got a restart code too but no thanks. poo poo deal.

This is from awhile back but Roku makes alot of their money by selling user information. They can already track everything you watch within an app (with no way to opt out) and are rolling out fun stuff like ACR on their smart TVs where they can analyse (and sell) every facet of your TV viewing experience (including OTA use, cable box use and any device you plug into HDMI)Roku's CEO posted:Because, for us, hardware is not a business, it’s a way to acquire active accounts. Our business is advertising and content distribution services. http://fortune.com/2017/05/27/roku-ceo-anthony-wood-streaming/ Call Me Charlie fucked around with this message at 14:39 on Jun 9, 2017 |

I'm about to give OTA a try again after 4, maybe 5 years? I live in small studio apartment downtown (97209), so anything exterior or huge is out. Last time I tried with the Mohu Leaf which gave me poo poo for channels. Maybe it was because of the building interference or 'older' tech, who knows. Anyways, new apartment, same area and most locators for my zip seem to indicate strong signal strength. Recommendations?

Forgive me if this is well trodden territory around here, but the OP is five years old. I'm going to be cancelling cable soon, and I plan on going either Sling TV or Playstation Vue. I have a 4th Generation Apple TV, so that's fine. Is the new Sling TV Cloud DVR legit? The only thing that had me leaning Vue was the DVR. Otherwise, the channel break down on Sling appeal to the wife and I a bit more than Vue, and the slight price difference for the group of channels we want isn't that big of a deal. Any other considerations I should make choosing between the two?

Ah, well the package I was planning on is Sling Blue, which, as I now see, allows up to 3 simultaneous streams, which should be fine. But thanks, I hadn't checked that.
