So instead of retiring it, we’re keeping it available at a price that reflects the real, ongoing value of the software we’re committed to building and maintaining for years to come.
I left Plex because of exactly this. What exactly have they delivered lately to actual users that isn’t BS cloud streaming stuff?
@scrubbles@plex and all of this time since, they’ve still not put out the updated version of the Apple TV version which has been problematic for so many years with audio/video sync issues, etc.
Agree, I still have my $100 pass too, but it just got to the point where I couldn’t justify it anymore. I got almost ten years out of that pass, I consider that good. 10 dollars a year to support their development. Then their development stopped being for server owners like me, and I knew it was sadly time to move on.

Well, they redesigned their mobile app so that it only works half as well as it used to. That’s quite the accomplishment!
Oh god I remember that. No one asked them to and they burned a ton of money to do it, shipped buggy, and arguably the design was worse.

Psh, even I could do that!
Heads to Claude Code…
Don’t get me started on the new Roku app…
Bought a Plex Pass when it was $100. Pretty decent at the time, much easier to get the family hooked up to that vs Jellyfin.
And every change they’ve made - especially adding their own completely trash streaming library - has taken value away from that pass.
