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.

      If you have plex pass lifetime already, your family can still streams fully from your server. Nothing changes here.

      Anyone know if they’re referring to Plex “Home” users or anyone you’ve granted access to here? I used to just hand out my credentials with my admin account pass code protected but now I make people create their own accounts and just grant them access.

      Why do you need to explain to your family and friends how to switch to Jellyfin, if you have a lifetime pass and therefore aren’t impacted at all by this announcement?
