I think it is shameful that Plex is forcing users to pay for a Plex Pass or Remote Watch Pass to continue to use Plex on a Roku Device. > [@Changes Coming to Remote Streaming on Roku](https://forums.plex.tv/t/changes-coming-to-remote-streaming-on-roku/933671): > > Hey everyone! Earlier this year we [announced](https://www.plex.tv/blog/important-2025-plex-updates/) several big changes to Plex Pass and introduced the Remote Watch Pass. Since then, this was rolled out alongside the new experience on mobile devices first before coming to other devices. Starting next week, we will begin requiring a Remote Watch Pass or Plex Pass in order to stream remotely to our Roku app. This update will also bring the [improved changes](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-roku-preview-a-faster-simpler-navigation-experience/933212) to the navigation that was released to the preview build of the Roku app a few weeks ago. Thi… The current Plex App for Roku is a debacle. The UI issues aside, it takes up to 30 - 60 seconds to load the home page. The announcement says that this requirement will soon be rolled out to AppleTV, Fire TV and Android TV. Though in principle I don’t disagree with charging a fee for this capability, I think it takes big brass ones to implement this change before any of these apps are ready for prime time. This stinks of a desperate cash grab. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.plex.tv/t/apple-player-update-beta-testing/872121)._
