Server Version#: 1.20.4.3517 Player Version#: Web Browser - browse directly to server from outside HOSTNAME:32400 In the screenshot, you see the film and tv shows and recommended videos listed, instead of a simple/blank login screen.

I am running 1.21.2.3943 now and it is working as expected. Visiting the site as an unauthenticated user shows the login page and requires a login to proceed. Thank you for fixing this! :heart:

[image] Eversion: I’m really struggling to understand your attitude here. We want ours servers to require sign in. No attitude, just trying to understand why this would be needed. Loading Plex Web is not signing into your server. Plex Web is just a webpage. Yes, it is loaded from your comp…

This is quite a major change to the availability of the Free Content so I do think it should be announced properly somewhere.

What I don’t understand is why are you having users access Plex Web on your server? I am not. I use it myself. I am the one and only single user. I access Plex from a domain name, my domain name. It is odd that you guys did not communicate this change at all and that there’s now no means of makin…

[image] WeZzy: I am not. I use it myself If you are the only one using it and you know what it is, what is the confusion? The original report was that it looked to others that the content from coming from their server. [image] WeZzy: It is odd that you guys did not communicate this chan…

[image] anon18523487: Also, the recent update only exposed the LiveTV Streaming feature. The other content from Plex such as the ad-supported Videos on Demand, News, and Podcasts were already accessible. Which recent update? I guess you mean the hosted webapp update as I have Plex Media Serve…

[image] blim5001: ahh here it is tucked away almost as an addendum to the main release notes for Plex Web 4.36.1 Yeah, that’s it. It was mistakenly left off the notes and since it was important we thought it better to make a second note instead of just editing the original where people may n…

[image] anon18523487: That part I agree. I’ve actually brought this up with the team. Thank you for bringing this up to the team. I’m sorry that it just sounds like we’re upset about a feature that you guys really worked hard to implement. Earlier you were trying to understand why it was a p…

I noticed today out of the blue my Plex server on my domain is serving odd content to random stranger on the internet without any authentication. Why the hell would anyone think this is a good idea without any kind of notification? And of course there’s no way to disable it. W… T… F… Plex Team. WT…

[image] ntrip: without any kind of notification < sarcasm> But we told you in the Plex Web Release notes back in June< /sarcasm> tbh, I do wonder how many people actually realise that Plex Free Content is available to all without a login even on app.plex.tv

Which recent update? I guess you mean the hosted webapp update as I have Plex Media Server 1.20.3.3437 installed on my MacBook and that shows the login screen when going to the local webapp.

Guess it was Plex Media Server 1.20.4.3508 that updated the web app and has therefore opened this can of worms.

I personally was not aware of the change to the availability of the Free Content, as I am almost always logged in to the hosted web app.

ahh here it is tucked away almost as an addendum to the main release notes for Plex Web 4.36.1
