please, work with T-Mobile so that Plex can stream for free on their network… maybe make this for Plex Pass users only.

in their live event they said to contact them at bingeon@t-mobile.com
I don’t think that would be physically possible. Most likely T-Mobile has to register the provider and log their IP’s so they can track when a user is streaming from those services. A Plex user streams from their own server and in a lot of cases with a dynamic IP. I doubt T-Mobile would be willing to track 1000’s of IP addresses that can change on a whim.
I agree that this would be awesome if it were at all possible, but I don’t see how it could be done
I believe they’re probably just looking at the packet header rather than source IPs. However with our connections all being SSL-enabled, I’m not sure it could be done.
They did mention today that they are looking at the packet header and do work with SSL-enabled sites. I was thinking that maybe redirection through plex.tv might be a good way to work this out. Not sure, however.
If this was done then I would be set and be one happy camper.
If it’s at the packet level it might be possible. @elan is this something you guys can look at and tell us if it’s even remotely possible? Obviously this wouldn’t necessarily be a big priority, but knowing if it could even get pulled off would be nice.
I’d also like to see this feature, would be absolutely awesome.
i think it can be done, like t-mobile said, they just need to know its video… SSL, IP or anything else they dont care about… but the only way to be sure is if @elan sends an email to them bingeon@t-mobile.com and then know for sure.
I would also love to see this become a reality…how can we make it happen?
I agree. Would be very cool. I contacted T-Mobile via Twitter to look at adding Plex.
You guys are missing a big point. If Slingbox is on the list so should be Plex.
If everyone would contact t-mobile on Twitter and Facebook and if @elan would email bingeon@t-mobile.com then we can get this ball moving, T-Mobile said it’s very easy to add and can make it a Plex pass only feature.
I can’t find the article right now, but I read something that the way this will work with T-Mobile is that they intercept the video feed and reduce it down to 480p. Not sure how that will work with Plex’s quality settings. This also means T-Mobile will know exactly what you are watching.
They will not know what you are watching and they don’t care, they just want to know its video, and if it’s dvd quality on my phone and stream all I want on lte for free, I am fine with that.

TMobile isn’t doing anything to the video. They have no desire to intercept and transcode millions of video streams, that would be insane.
You just need to provide HLS that can step down to 480p, and you must provide at least 480p resolution.
Ah yes, you are correct. I guess the article i read before was wrong. The stream needs to use adaptive bit rate, which pms doesn’t so I’m guessing Plex wouldn’t qualify.

YEP, DENIED for now. 
This would probably be the ONLY thing that could ever get me to switch over to TMobile from Verizon.
i will still wait for @elan to chime in before i give up hope.
We don’t support adaptive bitrate (yet), and even if we did, it would be hard for them to tell it was us, since the streaming takes places between your device and your server (and it can be an arbitrary port).
Nothing is impossible, it just depends on how hard people want it to happen
