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.

Makes sense. I’m fully dockerized so I’ve got that going for me

    I'm fully Dockerized (well, uhh... Podmanized) and I'm dual-wielding Plex and Jellyfin. Runs smoothly and both only have read to the content. All management of the media is handled by the *arr stack anyway. I even set up a volume for Plex to throw conversions into that Jellyfin can't see. I'm currently personally using Jellyfin and I'm waiting for Jellyfin to be good enough (or Plex bad enough...) for the users I share with to switch over.

    I can definitely recommend that setup.
