Plex Raises Price for Plex Pass, No Longer Offers Free Remote Playback for Personal Media

Quick Summary:

A Plex Pass will allow server owners to provide remote media streaming to friends and family members without an additional charge, so only the server owner needs the Plex Pass, not the users streaming the content.

Plex users who have a Plex Pass already will continue to be able to use remote playback from any Plex Media Server after the changes are implemented, as will users who have access to their servers.

Plex is introducing a new Remote Watch Pass subscription option aimed at those who want to stream media without hosting a server.
