Ahoy mateys, it's time to setup Jellyfin if you prefer not to pay for the privilege of self-hosting your own content.

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.

I bought a lifetime pass a decade ago. This doesn't affect me, right? Not that it makes me want to stay.

No it doesn’t change anything for lifetime pass.

Maybe it will in a few years, but not today.

It will change. They know they're gonna have to figure something out about those of us who aren't paying monthly.

if it's anything like our guaranteed 'price for life' internet from the phone company here--it lasts as long as they want it to.

(which, for our internet, was less than two years)
