Plex Android app

Server Version#:1.40.5
Player Version#:10.19.4.1255
<If providing server logs please do NOT turn on verbose logging, only debug logging should be enabled>

In order to stop Plex from terminating playback when I am accessing content remotely on my home server using my phone, do I have to pay the app activation fee? Is that is what is causing the stream to stop after sixty seconds? I am getting conflicting information on this.

Many thanks.
