I’m a plex pass subscriber and I share my library with family who are non-plex pass subscribers. In fact most of them don’t even run a server of their own. This has been working flawlessly but recently it seems the free users can only access about 30 seconds of my content before they are faced with a paywall to continue.
Is this something new? I can’t seem to find any info on it?
This should only apply to mobile clients and it’s officially been this way for… well… it already was that way when I joined
That being said… I remember some users who reported a similar issue / change of behavior some time ago. It seems there used to be some cases in which the Plex apps didn’t properly apply this restriction.
Non-mobile apps (e.g. Plex Media Player, Plex Web, Plex on your TV) are not restricted in this way.
Ah thanks guys… this explains it I think. The family member who is having the most issues was one who loaded plex on an iPad and screenshared it to their TV. I suspect this would be considered “mobile” since it’s an iPad app.
