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.

And what media server do you use? Care to share a link?
This is the description of the app in Synology's DSM's package center:
Media Server provides a multimedia service for you to browse and play the multimedia contents on Synology NAS via DLNA/UPnP home devices. With Media Server, you can easily connect those devices such as TV sets and stereo systems to your home network, and stream multimedia files stored on Synology NAS to the devices to enjoy music, photos, and videos.

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.
Are you using subtitles? Apparently subtitles are rendered real time on all apps, not just plex, and are extremely intensive for even high end pc's
