I was just forwarded this someone in my household who watches our server. That's it folks. I've been a hold out for a long time, but this is honestly it.
They want me to pay to stream content that I bought from my hardware transcoded also on my hardware.
I'll say it. As of today, I say Plex is dead. Luckily I've been setting up Jellyfin, I guess it's time to make it production ready.
Edit I have a Plex Pass. More comments saying "Just buy a plex pass" are seriously not getting it. I have a Plex Pass and my users are still getting this.
Or they can still just pay the $5 permanent activation in Google Play or Apple App Store. You know, the same one they’ve always needed.

All the Remote Pass gets you is streaming from any Plex server you have access to, independent of if the server owner has a Plex Pass. If the server owner does, the remote streaming user doesn’t need to buy anything.
