Solving the streaming cost vs. quality challenge – The Plex approach with Bitmovin and Oracle

Resources > Webinars

Plex set out to maintain a premium viewing experience while optimizing the ongoing costs of storage and distribution. In this session, they walk through the workflow changes that mattered most, from smarter per-title ladders and multi-codec support with Bitmovin to infrastructure choices on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. You’ll see how Plex achieved material savings without sacrificing quality, and how those efficiencies translate to faster startup times and more reliable playback for viewers.

What you’ll learn:

• The specific pipeline changes behind Plex’s 23% lower distribution and 55% lower storage costs
• How per-title ladders and multi-codec strategies reduce bitrate while preserving QoE
• Where Oracle Cloud Infrastructure’s network and egress economics impact streaming TCO
• Deployment choices with Bitmovin (fully managed vs. in-account) and when to use each
