Plex is still worth every penny if you want more control over your own media.

But rising costs mean some of that burden has to be passed down to us.

Perfect for:Organizing and streaming libraries of personal video and audio content, live TV and DVR.

There are also changes coming to the Plex mobile apps and to remote playback.

Plex Pass Lifetime Membership

Remote streaming will no longer be free, but will be offered as a standalone if you don’t need the full Plex Pass.

The mobile app will no longer require payment to unlock the over 1-minute playback restriction.

Playing content through these apps over a local internet will now be free and unlimited.

Nobody ever likes price rises, not least Plex, commended for holding out for so long.

Remote streaming will no longer be free, but will be offered as a standalone if you don’t need the full Plex Pass.

I’d definitely recommend doing that.
