Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April

So I have a lifetime pass. But my family members have their own accounts. Will they be able to watch from their house to my server now or will they need to pay? Cause if that’s so guess I’m switching to jellyfin and teaching them how to work it.

To stream remotely starting on April 29, 2025, you will need a Remote Watch Pass or Plex Pass subscription on your account or the admin of the Plex Media Server from which you stream will need a Plex Pass subscription on their account.

Everyone using your server should be fine.

Yea, no change for lifetime pass holders. Anyone connecting in remotely can still stream like normal.
