I think it's important to clarify that remote streaming will be allowed for all invited users if the server administrator (owner) is a Plex Pass subscriber - if the administrator is not a subscriber then each user will need to either be a Plex Pass subscriber or a Remote View subscriber.

If you currently have lifetime/active subscription, your unpaid users/viewers will benefit from this by no longer having to buy the $5 one-time-fee unlocking of the Android or IOS app (this is nice for my in-laws who forget their google password and decide it's easier to make a new account than recover their password, ugh).

Eventually this may flow down to some negative impact on PP lifetime subs, but this announcement isn't as gloom and doom as some are making it.
Also know, plex is will be changing its policy and will only allow remote streaming outside your network IF you are a subscriber. So, if you have family that watch an occasional show... they won't be able to access plex soon.
Well that's a bummer. I've been hosting a plex server for over 12 years now so a couple of friends can watch my content but i don't really have a need for the additional plex pass features.

Apparently they're also offering another option "Beginning April 29, 2025, Remote Watch Pass will be available for an introductory price of $1.99/month or $19.99/year"


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.

Wow I remember paying like $79 for the lifetime a few years back. It's been a blast using Plex. Well worth it.

Apparently Plex has been hit by inflation a bit worse than the rest of the country since they feel the need to double their price. No price increase over at Jellyfin. Common Jellyfin W.

I've waited for a big price drop only because I didn't see the real benefit of having it but now I suppose I'll never get it. That's the biggest single price jump I've seen.

Just get yourself a Jellyfin and stop supporting predatory practice of companies that hide useful featured behind paywall while raising the prices. I've been using Jellyfin for my movie and TV show collection for the past 8 months and the support is absolutely top notch. My N100 NAS device transcodes any codec with hardly any sweating.

Jelly has its pro and cons. It's fit and finish is not as good. I run both, jelly being my backup.

Same, when the "sale" went from $79 to $99, I told myself I'd bite when it drops back down to $79. It never did, so I'm just like "Oh, well. Moving on."

I tried jellyfin before and didn't like it. Plex does so much more.

This is the only bummer to me. I bought the iphone app for our phones so we can remotely stream. Not a fan of paying for something to have it revoked at a later date.
