Important 2025 Plex Updates
www.plex.tv
Personal Media and Beyond You’re going to be hearing a lot from us this year—we’ve got a ton of exciting...

We are also changing how remote playback works for streaming personal media (that is, playback when not on the same local network as the server). The reality is that we need more resources to continue putting forth the best personal media experience, and as a result, we will no longer offer remote playback as a free feature. This—alongside the new Plex Pass pricing—will help provide those resources. This change will apply to the future release of our new Plex experience for mobile and other platforms.

    " When running your own Plex Media Server as a subscriber, other users to whom you have granted access can also stream from the server (whether local or remote), without ANY additional charge"

    So as a plex pass holder it shouldn’t affect any of my (current?) users? Am I reading this right?

    edit: Seems I’m good.

      I had my pitchfork out and ticket to Jellyfinville in-hand. I read the blog post and saw this myself. I’m wondering if it’s a matter of time before they want to screw over my family though

        You wonder? What else is going to happen, it now stays the same forever? Just a question of when.
