On Roku, when I play my content, I’m now getting an ad before it plays. I have the Lifetime PleX Pass and do not understand why this is happening.
Plex doesn’t inject ads into your personal media.
That being said – from what I’ve seen, there’s circumstances where you might end up streaming a video you also have in your own library from Plex’s video-on-demand and therefore ending up with ads. This can e.g. happen if you start the video in question from Continue Watching and the same video is available both in your personal (or a shared) library as well as Plex’s video-on-demand service.
I’m not watching anything that is PleX content. I’m choosing from my personal library of content. And before that content will play, there is an ad.
Could this possibly be an issue with Roku?
This happens, did a quick search and this is the last thread: Plex is showing advertisements for locally-stored content
You have to disable online media sources, the item you are playing is also available on plex and when you hit continue watching it pulls the copy from plex and not local.

It doesn’t. The linked thread just demonstrates the same fallacy as OP is suffering from.

I’ve found the issue. My settings had been changed (I don’t know how) to include Movie Trailers. No clue how that happened and I’m the only one with access to the settings. Strange.
