Downloads

Hi I recently purchased a yearly subscription. Once I did that I tried to download some movies and the download option is not available. Please help.

Thank you!!!

Are you attempting to download movies from a personal server (one you run or one you have access to through a friend/family member), or from Plex’s own free ad-supported movies? If you’re trying to download content from a personal server, make sure you’re using a supported device, and if you’re accessing someone else’s server, make sure they’ve granted you download permission.

If it’s Plex-provided content, that can’t be downloaded, even with a Plex Pass:

Does a Plex Pass subscription allow downloading titles?

No, a Plex Pass subscription does not allow downloading content from our free Movies & Shows service for offline access. The content available on our free, ad-supported service is not licensed to allow downloading or offline viewing, sorry.

Im trying to download it from plex app
I purchased a yearly subscription plan.

Im new to all this. How do i get a server in which I can then download movies?
Thank you for yourvtime amd help.

You would have to either set up a server with your own media files (Quick-Start & Step by Step Guides for Plex Media Server | Plex Support), or know a friend/family member that has their own server and have them invite you to join it. If you don’t have plans to start your own server and don’t know anyone else that has their own server, I’d probably reach out to billing support to see if you can get a refund (https://www.plex.tv/contact/?option=plex-pass-billing), since a Plex Pass doesn’t offer you any benefits if you aren’t using the personal media server part of Plex.

Thank you
