I think it's important to clarify that remote streaming will be allowed for all invited users if the server administrator (owner) is a Plex Pass subscriber - if the administrator is not a subscriber then each user will need to either be a Plex Pass subscriber or a Remote View subscriber.

If you currently have lifetime/active subscription, your unpaid users/viewers will benefit from this by no longer having to buy the $5 one-time-fee unlocking of the Android or IOS app (this is nice for my in-laws who forget their google password and decide it's easier to make a new account than recover their password, ugh).

Eventually this may flow down to some negative impact on PP lifetime subs, but this announcement isn't as gloom and doom as some are making it.

Also know, plex is will be changing its policy and will only allow remote streaming outside your network IF you are a subscriber. So, if you have family that watch an occasional show... they won't be able to access plex soon.

Thanks. Looks like if the server owner has the Plex pass then it's not needed to pay.

Same, when the "sale" went from $79 to $99, I told myself I'd bite when it drops back down to $79. It never did, so I'm just like "Oh, well. Moving on."

I just ended up buying it during Xmas discount for like 100. I figure if I end up using it for more than 5yrs it pays for itself. Nothing is guaranteed but I'm grandfather in for life and can drop it and come back anytime I want. Much like my lifetime pass with dvdfab. I blow money on dummer things plus I figure I can support a company so they can make better products

Guessing this increase is too offset the fact that there will be no $5 one time unlock fee on the app anymore. If the server has Plex pass, the app will not have the 1m limit. If not, the end user needs a remote streaming sub or Plex pass.

Love my choice to cut cable and use plex server to record, pause, resume football games, Olympics, and WC via an HDHomerun tuner of OTA content. No local cable company, yttv, hulutv, sling, etc. I have saved well over $1,000.

Well, that's a very important tidbit of information that was left out in the other post. Thank you

I've had a Plex lifetime pass for about 7 years now. Zero complaints. I definitely recommend it if you want to stream video or audio from local storage.

Also from Plex:
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR CURRENT PLEX PASS HOLDERS:
For users who have an active Plex Pass subscription, remote playback will continue to be available to you without interruption from any Plex Media Server, after these changes go into effect. When running your own Plex Media Server as a subscriber, other users to whom you have granted access can also stream from the server (whether local or remote), without ANY additional charge—not even a mobile activation fee.
