Important 2025 Plex Updates
www.plex.tv
Personal Media and Beyond You’re going to be hearing a lot from us this year—we’ve got a ton of exciting...

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.

    OK, but why is it a for profit company in the first place?

    And why does open source Software like xz, ffmpeg, etc still work without being for profit?

    Fucking liberal.

      They don’t. Most people get paid by companies to work on that stuff. For example red hat pays for a lot of OS development.
