Does the actual purcha$e or $ubscription of PMS disable Google Analytics which should in turn suppress the necessity for logging into a remote entity such as PMS; to simply access the local files on my very own computer??
Short answer: No.
Not quite as short answer: It depends.
Some clients must check in with plex.tv every use.
Some clients have the capability to manually enter an IP address of a Plex server. If the IP address or network of those clients is entered in Settings -> Network ->List of IP addresses and networks that are allowed without auth, then they do not have to talk with plex.tv to access the PMS.
For detailed info, search the forum for threads regarding using Plex without an Internet connection.
Regarding advantages of a Plex Pass, see Plex Free vs Paid.
So we know this for a fact!! (It’s obvious so don’t pretend) Plex gets a fat check from POS Google to allow the scraping of our local HDD films (in addition to most likely a hellava lot more)! Thus, Plex gives their client away for free. What is my motivation to pay Plex for anything they offer when they are already stealing from me and getting paid for it?

Plex does not know what media you have on your server. They do not gather that level of information.
The checking in with plex.tv is for authentication purposes.

If Plex didn’t know, or was not concerned with MY LOCAL PERSONAL FILES, then there would not be a login! PERIOD!! A login constitutes authority and permission and there should be NO authority or permission regarding MY ‘personal’ files needed from Plex. Your synopsis is illogical and is not warranted. Adding Google Analytics to the table only increases my position and I know you know this is true! Google sucks ■■■■!@!!
I like Plex, but at the expense of my personal security, I find Plex unacceptable and will dismiss this application as legitimate and be sure to report my findings accordingly.
Regards,
I do thank you for your input as you have made my job easier.
btw, who codes this $hit? A third grader? Anyway that’s the way it appears! If it wasn’t for the Google checks, Plex(Puss) would be out of business!
Code some real software and you might get some respect!!
FU drone. You should get your facts straight about Google and her ■■■■■ like Plex(Puss)! You all deserve what you’re about to receive!
Karma is a beotch and you’ll soon find out just how bad!!
GOOGLE SUX SH!!T and does her participants…
