Historically, that’s how they usually rolled out features requiring a Plexpass - It usually depended on the server owner owning Plexpass. This move, however, makes me think they’ll probably change that for shared to others via E-mail.
Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April

I just want to make sure I read this correctly. It says that if your a Plex plass holder already that remote streaming changes won’t affect your service. This means that if I have the lifetime subscription and host my own server than users whom have not payed for Plex pass can continue to access this server without issue correct?

Yeah. The day they start making something subscription that isn’t included in the lifetime pass is the day they get their office burned down by a lot of angry people.

@Tinks @randomaside what i don't understand is, what processing/compute are they using on their end? My server is transcoding it and I'm connecting directly to it.

Indirect Playback goes through them first. Also, they host DynDNS for the Plex media server to make accessing it remotely from apps easier.
The second thing is a joke to host and requires no resources. The first one can be a significant resource usage item.
