I have a lifetime Plex Pass since 2013 and have a family of 5. I’ve set up a home with us as members (the Home is owned by an admin account). As there were some issues with managed users in the beginning all members have their own Plex Account. In order to have all “Plex Pass Features” active on ou…

No, the one-time fee is not a Plex Pass. It is solely for unlocking the mobile app.

there are TWO kinds of HOME users. MANAGED home - which use only the ADMIN account/password UNMANAGED home - which uses each their own plex account/password BOTH managed or unmanaged users should automatically unlock the mobile apps without extra cost (for as long as the HOME owner continues to h…

@TeknoJunky , I totally agree with you, hence my question. If I understand @OttoKerner correctly I would need 6 Plex Passes (server admin + each user) in my family to be able to use the new “Skip Intro” feature. That can’t be the intended situation, most likely Plex didn’t think it through. Anyone o…

@l33tster , after some investigation I found out that I had actually already paid the one time fee a long time ago. But the root cause of my problem was the new requirement to have active Plex Passes both for the server and for each individual app user.

[image] Alvinger: Anyone on Plex Staff, could you clarify? How many Plex Passes do I need to be able to enjoy the Skip Intro/plex amp/skip ahead features? As mentioned, the skip intro feature requires the user to have a Plex Pass, so if there are 5 members, all 5 of you need the Plex Pass.

If I switched to managed users (logging in as server admin w/ plex pass) would that make a difference? I.e. Would I be able to use skip intro?

Ok, so let me get this straight: I have a ifetime pass for my server admin and have paid the onetime fee for unlocking apps (even though I didn’t need to as I wanted to support Plex) but I still can’t use the “play feature” of skip intro? Is this really what I get for being an early supporter (8 ye…

[image] Alvinger: but I still can’t use the “play feature” of skip intro? “You” can. People you just happen to share your server with, no. Like most subscriptions, benefits are not meant to be shared. Most Plex Pass features have been based on the server, but some are based on the account …

[image] anon18523487: Yes. Manages users as sub-accounts of yours so they will be able to use this feature. Extended question regarding this: Is there any kind of functionality or supportive tutorial planned to help us switch our family members from unmanaged to managed accounts? As @Alvinger …
