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.

Thanks for the info! How is your experience with using the app? Is it buggy? Does it need frequent updates?

    I've only personally used the tizen app a couple times, but my relatives have used it a bunch with no reported issues. I have not had to update it yet, but it's only been a few months. Definitely not frequent updates. My jellyfin server has had one update since then, but even the server updates aren't coming in on a weekly basis, so I don't expect their client will break anytime soon.
