Tl;Dr
- Plex pass price increase (6.99/mo, 69.99/yr)
- Non-LAN streaming from a personal Plex server will require either server owner or user to have Plex pass or the new “remote watch” subscription tier
- No more $5 mobile unlock fee to watch in the mobile app, but now there will be a $2/mo “remote watch” subscription tier that unlocks remote streaming mentioned above
I’m glad this won’t affect Plex pass (lifetime for over a decade in my case) users who are sharing their server with non-paying friends, but I also hope this entices more development in Jellyfin. If Plex decided to make it so that my non-paying friends can’t stream easily from my paid for Plex server, I need jellyfin to be a good alternative, and it currently doesn’t appeal to any of the friends I share with so something like that would probably get my friends to switch back to paid streaming.

Been using Jellyfin to share media with family and friends, locally and remotely, for a couple years. Very happy and can recommend.
