Hi

Love the overall product

However, after latest update, I can’t seem to play the TV. Shows I downloaded, in always asked to buy a monthly pass

I have thev server drinking on byte-sized hosting, just like AWS. I download tv shows on the byte-sized goody as well, but it immediately asks me for a monthly pass wen been I try to watch it

Wasn’t an issue before, app I soon new it’s some new functionality

How do I go back to previous behavior?

Thanks

It seems you might have missed that Plex added restrictions to remote streaming — requiring either a Plex Pass or Remote Watch Pass.

Thanks, I’ll try to enable remote access to see if it fixes my issue

Question: I looked in both Radarr and Sonarr settings and I didn’t see where I can change Remote Watch Pass to enable it. Where do I need to look?

Thanks
