It is a bit difficult to explain these days. Even if you do not know its roots as the MacPort’s utility of the Xbox Media Center Project, Plex is not your specific “streaming” service, seeing how most people use it. So since the Plex has announced its first price increase in its Plex pass subscription for more than 10 years, it has explained his work as to why, what is involved, and what is changing.
Starting on April 29, the cost of a Plex Pass increases $ 5 to 7 monthly $ 40 to $ 70, and a lifetime pass cost is $ 250, before $ 120. In a blog post, the Plex refers to growing costs and its independent service that supports “personal media”.
The post states that “we are all involved in the continued success of the Plex Pass and personal media.” This price increase will ensure that we can continue to invest in dedicated resources to develop new features during your favorite cooperation and development. “The post cites a roadmap that contains integration. Wise mediaServer users, a new “Baspock Server Management App” to handle users, and “an open and documentary for server integration”, including customs metadata agents.
Must have someone in the remote video stream
And then, after that note, the Plex collides with a major change: Streaming “Personal Media”, video files, Plex advertising films and audio, photos, or offers from TV, may not be featured in the free Plex feature starting from April 29. Because if the server owner has access to a PLES, if a server owner can be submitted to the PLES, “completely free” may have a better way.
But if you are hosting your own Plex server to maintain access to your luggage when you are away or trust the kindness of friends who are non -passing with servers, either you or your server’s friend will need the Plex Pass membership by the end of April.
As an alternative, you can get a cheaper remote watch pass in a server -powered Plex viewer, $ 2 or $ 20 annually. This is not included Plex pass features Like an offline download, leaving a show’s introduction or credit, or so, but it keeps you connected to your “personal media” vendors.
