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.

Yeah but anyone who is seriously using Plex already paid for one so I don't get the outrage

Dito. The price increase for lifetime is hard and surely made so to push people into the recurring instead. But as a Plex Pass holder this won't drive me to Jellyfin

You should however give jellyfin a shot as it has a bunch of cool features and is way more extensible than Plex.

Plex is still more polished but ive found there are a bunch of plugins for jellyfin that are really cool

I have a Jellyfin instance running in parallel to check out its progress, but its just not there yet for me.

What do you mean with extensible? The plugin 'shop'?

I really like the intro detector edl creator, tube archivist metadata provider, subtitle extract, and playback reporting plugins

Also you can customize the CSS for your server that extends to all clients using the jf webapp. Plex will never have that

Lol, that Jellyfin needs a 3rd party plugin for intro detection says a lot about the maturity of the project. Also, there are other Frontends for plex
