If you haven’t heard of Plex, it’s a media server that you can run in your own home with your own media content. I use it personally to run a media server for my vastly growing digital collection. One thing Plex offers to differentiate itself from its competitors is their Plex Pass, which gives you more features than you get with just the free membership. Plex Pass is an extension of your normal Plex account. Thanks to the coupon code ByteMyBits (you can apply this from their “subscription” page), you can get all of the Plex Pass features without the need to pay the normal $4.99/mo for the next three months! Do note that after the three free months are up your subscription will auto-renew at $4.99/mo unless you cancel.
Plex Pass features:
- Mobile Sync
- Download movies and media for offline playback on your Android, iOS, or Windows device
- Plex Home
- Create custom and managed accounts for those in your home, even restricting content as you see fit for users
- Free Apps
- Normally you have to buy the Plex app (around $5), but as a Plex Pass user, you get free access to the apps
- Cloud Sync
- You can sync some content from your Plex server to other cloud storage providers so you can access it outside of the Plex interface
- Camera Upload
- You can wirelessly sync your phones and tablets to your Plex server for backing up your photos and videos
- DVR features
- ..and many more features!
If you’ve never tried out Plex, maybe now’s the time! Benjamin over at 9to5Mac shows you how you can use a Synology NAS and Plex together to make an awesome media server, so be sure to give that a visit!
