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.

    That was my thought…

    “Somehow they got the Plex app installed…”

    Jellyfin somehow works on freaking Roku, even, and WELL. Just give the URL to connect to, they pick a profile, and boom, “Netflix who?”.

    (Also, unlike Netflix, it’s not BOMBARDING my PiHole with a gazillion telemetry requests per freaking second holy crap NF calm down. It’s a treat when I have something I want to watch on my Jellyfin drives lol.)
