For years I have decided not to purchase a lifetime Plex Pass because I just did not need the extra features. So many times I could have purchased on special for about $50usd.
Now…. BAM, add a charge the one feature I use it for without any prior notice (no I didn’t get an email earlier than today!!!)
Clearly your one/two man show has gotten too big and you have lot more mouths to feed.
I’m sorry… I really hope this isn’t the demise of Plex. This might hurt you a lot!
Not that it’ll do you much good now…
Here’s the original announcement from Plex’s blog.
It’s a real shame. Hopefully the community can come together and create a custom fix to all of the broken features. We are on our own now.
Thanks. Who has time to be reading blogs online in their busy lives?
I would have read the email!!
Operation money grab!
Yep. Intentionally fail to email the users most affected by the price increase, then raise the price, and the very next day inform said users. It’s a pathetic approach.
I will be spending my weekend testing Jellyfin.
Emby was a consideration… but who’s to say they won’t follow Plex’s lead! (Although currently their lifetime pass is $119)
its been 2 days since the hike by the email I just got 
which just makes it worse.
I would have liked to have had the option of upgrading to the lifetime pass but not for 259usd
Jellyfin might be the thing to try I guess
