Plex New Monthly Plan

PLEX USED to be a fairly good App, a bit glitchy and it freezes at least once per movie but it was ok for a one off payment (Per-User of course). Now it has a subscription charge and is far more expensive that just using your own server should ever be. These issues now need to be addressed since it’s premium.

Is it straight forward and easy to solve issues? Not at all.
Do the technical steps work after pages and pages of reading and searching? Nope.
Can you contact someone who can test and problem solve it for you? Of course not.
Can you at least email someone or contact someone about it? Don’t be silly, that’s what the endless labyrinth of FAQs and Forums are for.

Is it worth a monthly subscription? In my honest opinion no.
I NEVER watch ANY of PLEX’s movies, shows or music I’m very particular about what I watch. But since I’m now paying for them I thought I’d take a look at what there is. Surprise, surprise not even 10 mins in advert, consistently through the movie what’s worse the same advert every time over and over. What’s premium for if it’s riddle with ads? Seems silly to pay for the privilege of not being able to remove or block them entirely.

Sort it out PLEX or your going to start losing more and more customers

The remote watch pass is specifically for what its name says… you being able to use Plex for watching content from remote servers.
It’s not related to their ad-supported video on demand service.

That being said. Not sure what other technical issues you have as you don’t mention any details.

No, bin Plex, let them fail as company and look for a better one that is just about your stuff, rather than paying for garbage you never wanted in the first place.

Your Plex Pass or Remote Watch Pass, whatever you got, has nothing to do with the movies and shows Plex offers. Those are free and supported by the ads for everyone.

You can turn this off from your account setting in Plex Web. Under Online Media Sources, disable “Movies & Shows”.

Regardless, it’s a bit ironic that you have to opt out of being force fed this content in a self hosting media application.
