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.
Jellyfin is looking better and better every day.

Not sure who is still reading this 37-page thread, but if the only reason I would get the "Lifetime Plex Pass" would be to share my content with off-site friends/family users (i.e., I don't need to stream my content to my device from a hotel room, etc.), then I could instead tell them they can get access to that content by getting a Plex Remote Watch Pass for $20/year.

TBH, I'd kindof rather put that burden on the friend/family wanting access. $20/year is pretty cheap if they want to use my hardware/electricity/content. Then there's also no risk of that access getting shared with other users (unless there's security against that, which seems possible/likely).

Having 20T of torrent movies at home is already grey area. Giving access to others makes it red-grey area. Why not just use fmovies or vhmovies or any other 100 websites and not have any content stored on any drive at home? If you are in the grey zone, then might as well do it easier.

serious question as I never understand plex thing, it wont even stream full quality and compressed it.

I think the justification goes like: If I give access (to my library) to my mother, it's similar to me loaning her a DVD, without the hassle of driving the disk to her. This assumes multiple users aren't accessing the same content simultaneously, which I don't think you could lock down in Plex (only per my VERY limited knowledge).

I only currently use it within my own home, only for disks I ripped from my own library (and still own), for which I didn't get a digital-movie code (since those don't require me to use my own storage space) . It serves that use-case great and requires no subscription.

I'm not familiar with fmovies/vhmovies -- will look into them.

Quote from JoeJ9362 :
It's great but honestly the lifetime price is really only needed for certain things. Of course you could always purchase just for the support, but read through what it gives you because you may not really need it. Also, best of luck during your recovery.
It's gonna be a long painful recovery so I'm gonna need all the shows and movies I can get.

I haven't even been able to read through stuff honestly. But for 120 for a lifetime, Its a no brainer at this point. If they start tweaking things and adding features I know I don't have to worry about it.

Besides I did hear about Plexamp which is their music streaming app off your plex server and you need plex pass for that. Seems worth it

Who needs this when one can stream media at high quality anywhere and anytime. Just admit you want to spend money on unnecessary things
Well on my limited knowledge, you need plexpass for streaming on mobile devices, transcodes, Netflix feature, and being able to stream music off their plexamp app

Why is Plex so terrible at deciphering what shows are in a library as compared to Video Station

I have a synology nas and decided to try plex for $5/month to see if it works for me before buying the lifetime subscription. I have to admit, seeing all my anime with pictures and descriptions is mind blowing; well worth the $120. Its like having netflix, crunchyroll, etc. at your fingertip. Everything is eye candy.

But, unfortunately if I can not get it to stream over local network (not even remote), without it buffering 90% of the time, I wont be using Plex.

I would recommend using it with full features, so you know exactly what you're getting first before buying the lifetime.

How fast is your internet? At my current location, I have no issues streaming high bitrate 4K content from my ethernet connected Plex server to my phone or tv firestick.

There should be absolutely no issues streaming in your lan.
Something is broken. Synology trying to transcode? Poor wifi speeds?

So wait, your Up speed is 20 Mbps or 20 MB/s?

And what media server do you use? Care to share a link?
