Xbox One Multi-User

Hey all, let me first start by saying the software is amazing. For a first release, the app is amazing. My issue:

 

I'd like to share my library to my family who also will be using this on their X1. Although, after they've linked their device to my Xbox it says they need the Plex Pass. The main account on the server has a plex pass, so I'd presume that all other accounts which are shared to use my library would also be able to use the X1 app. This isn't the case.

 

I don't know how you can expect people who'd like to use my library to pay subscription. This isn't Netflix, I'm paying for the bandwidth, the server, and already are paying for a subscription. So why can't they use my library on the X1?

Did you forget this is at the Plex Pass-only stage of release?  We're using it in a 'beta test' environment.  Having a Plex Pass gives us early access to new stuff like this in addition to what we already get.

Ofcourse I understand that, but since I own a plex pass, why do my family have to pay for a plex pass when I'm paying for the server? This isn't Netflix/Hulu...

We realise this isn't ideal with multiple users in a household right now - sorry! From the blog FAQ:

"What about multiple users inside a house? Right now any account using the app requires a Plex Pass. We’re working to improve that situation."

Thanks for the reply, I've connected their device to my account which has fixed the issue which is perfectly fine with me.

It's an excellent app :)

I also have teh same issue. Works fine on my account but when the kids switch to their profile on the xbox then plex needs to be setup all over and then screws up the setup on the initial account. Being able to use the app on multiple user accounts on the xbox would be great.

Same issue here. The app is coming along nicely so far, but as it stands now, my girlfriend has to login to my profile instead of her own just to watch plex. Im definitely looking forward to the multi user support! :D
