Plex’s video on demand service is free for users but ad-supported… so if you want to watch the free movies, you’ll need to live with the ads. You can disable “Movies & TV on Plex” (as well as all other online media sources offered by Plex) in your account settings > **[Plex](https://app.plex.tv/desktop#!/settings/online-media-sources)** # If you want to watch your own content (hosted by your own Plex Media Server) or content shared with you by a friend, there’ll be no ads involved. ---

I, (maybe like you jimsugden) found watching a film (movie) in Plex was an annoying, basically unwatchable experience because of the excessive intrusion of advert’s constantly interrupting any watching pleasure. (nightmare) I couldn’t find how to prevent advertising and it appears that even with the Upgrade to pay, there appeared to be no guarantee of a film (movie) not being interrupted by advert’s, so bye bye Plex Movie and TV. ---
