no sorry, i just have my family and a few friends on there, don't think my server can handle much more

Interesting changes.

Summary:
Plex Pass price increases beginning April 29, 2005: $7/month, $70/year, Lifetime - $250

Remote playback will only possible if you're a Plex Pass subscriber, or subscribe to their new Remote Watch Pass sub for $2/month or $20/year (unless...see edit below)

Local playback remaining free.

Beginning on April 29, 2025, users will be able to stream from personal media libraries on a remote network in one of two ways:

Option 1: Remote playback with a Plex Pass

Upgrading to any Plex Pass subscription is a great option for server owners, as it ensures all users accessing the Plex Media Server can stream remotely, without an additional charge. Even if you don’t run your own Plex Media Server, a Plex Pass subscription will not only allow you to stream remotely from any server to which you have access, but also lets you make use of other Plex Pass functionality like Skip Intro and Skip Credits.

Option 2: Remote playback with a Remote Watch Pass subscription (New!)

Our brand-new subscription offering, Remote Watch Pass, allows individual users to remotely stream media from any personal media server to which they have access. This is a great option for users who don’t run their own server and are looking to stream from a server belonging to a friend or family member who does not have a Plex Pass. It’s also a good alternative for server owners who may not need the full feature offering of a Plex Pass, but are looking for a more cost-effective option to access their media remotely. Beginning April 29, 2025, Remote Watch Pass will be available for an introductory price of $1.99/month or $19.99/year.

my lifetime sub from a decade ago for $50 looking good i guess

My Plex pass from last year for $95 looking good I guess

Lifetime of course, duh!

W for anyone who already got plex pass. Mobile app fee for your server members is no longer required now too

My man

anyone able to weigh in on jellyfin vs plex??

use plex now but thinking about switching over

Ive been using jellyfin for a few years now. I have some issues I think would be resolved with a proper NAS setup but no complaints otherwise. I haven't set it up to run outside of my local network tho. Happy to answer any questions

Same lmaooo

If youre considering id go jellyfin,
More cobfigurable and more user control, dont need to lay either. But i hear its more legwork to get going.
Id 100% have switched already if i didnt pay for plex lifetime years ago and have everything already setup fine there

Yo my slime. For remote access, do I just enable it in settings and then log into Plex account anywhere?

Yes

Thank you, king

Man I’ve been building a plex library for a few years now, and even before the change where you have to pay for remote access, I could never get my server to properly run when I was outside my network. At best it would run s*** slow and at like 360p or some pathetic s***. I was never able to figure out why, nothing I googled ever worked but I also just may be a moron

(Irrelevant now because I don’t pay for plex pass anyways, but it’s a massive deterrent in me wanting plex pass)

Bro the subtitles don't work and I feel like the quality is def no 1080p

means youre not direct playing and its encoding

I'm doing remote access
