That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing (infosec.pub)

I was just forwarded this someone in my household who watches our server. That's it folks. I've been a hold out for a long time, but this is honestly it.

They want me to pay to stream content that I bought from my hardware transcoded also on my hardware.

I'll say it. As of today, I say Plex is dead. Luckily I've been setting up Jellyfin, I guess it's time to make it production ready.

Edit I have a Plex Pass. More comments saying "Just buy a plex pass" are seriously not getting it. I have a Plex Pass and my users are still getting this.

@potpotato Thanks, but I've read plenty of the other comments. If there's confusion here, and it's a stuff up in emailing things out then fine, but there are more than a few people saying they have PlexPass and that users on their shares are being asked to pay for a pass. At best, implementing this would be a challenge, and at best, this is really bad optics.
