Server Version#: Nvidia Shield
I currently have a Nvidia Shield running a plex server and it is working good and would like to buy the plex pass to get the transcoding feature but in a couple months I am getting a 72TB Qnap NAS and will be running my plex server from it and want to know if I will be able to apply the plex pass to that server or will I have to buy another one even though I will not be running my nvidia shield plex server.
Plex Pass is tied to your account, not an individual server.
To add to @tom80H’s comments,
Plex Pass is currently on sale for $89.99 USD.
See https://plex.tv/plex-pass for details.
For the Nvidia Shield, a Plex Pass is not required to use hardware accelerated transcoding.
See Using Hardware-Accelerated Streaming.
Edit: Check the NAS Compatibility List before purchasing the Qnap. Note that Plex does not support hardware accelerated transcoding on NAS with ARM or embedded AMD CPUs.
Yes that is why I was wanting to get the plex pass now while it is on sale but wanted to make sure it will work with my QNAP server. The QNAP I am getting has a Intel CPU with built in GPU so it will be capable to transcode.
