I want to unlock the ability to view content on my mobile device. I can do that with a one-time purchase (payed with google opinion rewards) or with a subscription. I want to unlock the ability for my entire family though, across multiple devices. Do I have to pay the “one-time payment” for every device? If so, the plex subscription might be worth it. Is there any other major benefit to having a plex subscription?

    It’s really easy to set up if you use Docker.

    I want to use Jellyfin, but the clients just aren’t up to par with Plex and last I checked Jellyfin won’t transcode downloaded media.

        Last I checked, if you wanted to download media to a mobile device to watch later, you could only do that at full quality. Has that changed?

          Ah I see, I have misunderstood. I checked and you are correct that it is not possible to download anything but the original file.
