We are also changing how remote playback works for streaming personal media (that is, playback when not on the same local network as the server). The reality is that we need more resources to continue putting forth the best personal media experience, and as a result, we will no longer offer remote playback as a free feature. This—alongside the new Plex Pass pricing—will help provide those resources. This change will apply to the future release of our new Plex experience for mobile and other platforms.

That is so sad. I was just reconfigured my hone server with plex last weekend. Seems like it's time to switch to jellyfin now. Luckily didn't finish the configuration.

If you have Plex pass (honestly, get the lifetime, it's worth it, jellyfin is pretty shit compared to Plex) it will not effect users of your server.

I had Plex lifetime and still switched to Jellyfin as an open source and community driven project will always be better in the future compared to a commercial product
