Comment on Netflix kills casting from phones

Sorry man but it’s you who is misunderstanding.

Plex used to let you buy a “license” for a one-time fee which allowed you to stream to phones. You did not need a Plex Pass, lifetime or otherwise.

Recently, Plex announced that you no longer need to pay this one-time fee. However, you can no longer stream videos to your phone without Plex Pass. If you have Plex Pass, you are obviously unaffected

This basically invalidated the paid licenses of anyone not paying for Plex Pass.

That is what they’re talking about.

Correct. Both myself and several friends are enjoying our lifetime Plex pass nearly 2 decades later.

As for the rest, none of that changes anything for me. It changes things for people who did not buy a lifetime one time payment Plex pass.

So are you done lying or was it not really a lie? It was just that you were too stupid to figure out subscription terms?

  Did you…read what I wrote? Even the part you quoted? I’m guessing not because you didn’t notice I’m not the person you’ve been arguing. I’m just a bystander who saw someone being a confidentially incorrect.
  
  The one-time license we’re referring to is different than Plex Pass. What part aren’t you understanding? I’d break it down for you again with links but I’m doubting you’d even read it lol

    You’re either lying or hallucinating again. There was only ever one one time Plex pass sold. And it was the Plex pass. For a lifetime.
    
    Once again, I’m very sorry that you seem to have some extremely difficult mental issues that prevent you from understanding the terms that Plex offers. Millions of others seemed to manage just fine, but perhaps, you should have someone helping you out.

    Correct. Which is why both of us keep saying we’re not talking about the Plex Pass. We’re talking about the one-time purchase to unlock remote streaming on Android/iOS.

    You’re right that downvotes don’t change facts. And the fact is that Plex used to sell a license for phone streaming
    
    Here’s an official post referencing its removal since you’re too pigheaded to accept that you’re wrong
    
    Our Android and iOS mobile apps previously required a one-time activation fee or Plex Pass to remove the one-minute playback limitation when streaming content from a Plex Media Server.
