Saw this in an email. Not the cheapest, but still something.

Redeem code GEEKOUT at checkout.
For me its the hardware transcoding and being able to download shows onto your phone for offline play.
Zidoo Z9X can play full remux files with ease and it is basically compatible with every format there is. I thought I would install PLex on zidoo but so far I have no need for it. It handles files from my server with ease.
that's what I used to think, I signed up for the fee month last month and now that it's expiring.. I want to keep the plex pass going - just skip intro itself almost feels to justify the cost..
I guess I never watch it via mobile devices so have never had to see any intro.. or ads..
neither do I .. I have shield running my plex server.. but every show has an intro right? it's a one button skip
@suitcasesocks: Gotcha, similar to netflix etc. I guess that's not worth $150 to me. Thanks for the insight though!
Can anyone point me in the direction of a good online tutorial to set this up to play my own media?
Not the most tech savi person so the more basic thr better! :)
Your pretty much need a Nas server, Nvidia shield, raspberry pi or something that's always on to take full advantage of a Plex subscription.
May eventually do this but my initial thoughts are to set this up on a laptop or old desktop as most of the viewing will just be at home
Start with looking up Radarr and Sonarr
Thanks will take a look
Recommend Linux (eg. Ubuntu) and then dockstarter is probably the easiest method, although this might be still a little bit difficult if you haven't used linux before.

Some users on Ozb have recommended taking a look at Jellyfin, which is completely free and has no monetisation.
FYI you should be able to change your billing country to Turkey and get this cheaper.
I've just taken a look and with this code, it's ₺653,33 TRY (which converts to around $63 NZD).
This took into account my current monthly subscription though, so there will be around ~$5 difference in there.
From what I've read over on Ozbargain, you may need a Wise card or something similar to successfully pay.
Wise doesn’t work.
Tried all the methods from ozbargain as well. Doesn’t seems to be work.
They must fixed unfortunately.
Syncler+ with real debrid.
Plex is really important for me, my whole family know how to use it which is a good measure of the interface. I run a 4TB external drive from an NVIDIA shield which acts as the server and player for our main TV. Now that I've forwarded the ports properly with my router, I can stream flawlessly to any mobile device but more importantly to our android tvs at our beach house some 200km away. It's something we use everyday but even then I don't see the advantage in the paid subscription. I'd pay maybe 50NZD but no more, the extra services just don't mean enough (in my opinion).
What are the main benefits of Plex lifetime pass? Currently I stream plex content onto my TV.. would this benefit me in any way..?
