Hello,
I just wanted to ask something about plesk pass. If I claim my server with my plex pass user, all the users connected to my server will have available the options of plex pass? Like unlimited video on smartphones, auto upload photos to plex, etc, etc. I wouldn’t like to buy plex pass for each user of my family that want to use those features.
Please let me know,
Pedro
The people in your Plex Home if you add them to it will be able to use the mobile apps without extra cost. Be aware folks in Plex Home will be added to the fast user switcher as Plex was designed for folks you actually live with.
You need to individually allow shared users to use sync or use camera upload from/to your server
Hello,
You are telling me to add them to home users, but if I do that they will be able to act as administrators on my server, can’t I just add them to sharing as friends? If I add them as friends it will not work?
Kind regards
no they won’t, not sure why you think they will.
You should put a PIN on your account so they cannot switch to it but they cannot act as admin on their own accounts. Only one account can be the admin of a server which is the account signed into the server in Settings>General
So, what are the differences between home users and friends?
Plex Home members will inherit your Plex Pass ability to activate the mobile apps. Regular friends do not.
Plex Home users will also show in the fast user switcher. and can view live tv from your server if you have that set up and allow them to. (you can’t share live tv with regular friend shares)
I saw that I can have maximum 15 users created in home. So I assume that if I need to create more I will need to add them as friends and the plex pass capability for example for android unlimited time won’t work unless they pay for the plex pass, right?
If they are not in a Plex Home they can just buy whichever Plex Mobile app activation they want. They don’t need a Plex Pass.
( all mobile apps are separate. If they buy Plex for iOS that does not grant access to Plex for Android mobile)
They will have two options. If they can click activate to buy the app only from that app store. (The activation purchase is linked to their app store account not their Plex account)
Yes, I know that part, but what I do not want is to make my family purchase 20 times the app for their devices if I have already done it for my server, but what I am seeing is that my subscription will only be valid for 15 people, no more
That’s correct but 15 people is A LOT.
I’ve purchased a lifetime subscription and I only use it for 3 people and it’s still worth it.
If you do have 20 ‘family members’, only 5 of them would have to purchase the app activation.
