Ahoy #Plex users! Their paid #PlexPass plans are 40% off this week including the lifetime option. Brings it down from $250 to $150. If you were ever going to subscribe I doubt you can do any better by waiting.
#plexpass
On the heels of #Netflix announcing we can no longer cast to TVs from our phone apps, #Plex writes to remind me that soon the Plex app on #Roku will be as limited for remote streaming as the phone app, and to do it the server owner must pay for a #PlexPass. I mean, I already have one, for life, but goddamn, they're really taking it all away and selling it back to us.
Anybody remember when Plex was just XBox Media Center ( #xbmc )? How soon until #Jellyfin suffers the same fate?

New #Plex server version v.1.43.0.10162-b67a664b6 arrived (for #PlexPass members) with major transcoder change.
https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-media-server/30447/692
"NEW: (Transcoder) Transcoder was updated to the ffmpeg 6.1 baseline. (PM-3882)"
Won't rush with this update for a change :D
Just noticed the new #Plex Common Sense Media (powered by #PlexPass) button on the movie main page
Also it’s #PlexPRO week so there is a 40% off on the #PlexPass!
No #PlexTV, writing me an email every day doesn't make me want to subscribe either. I just want to run my #PlexMediaServer. Thank you.
Aha, so this is deliberate... Great. So the only officially supported Plex device that does work with HW transcoding is #BeeStationPlus.
Than I guess it was the right decision to look for another Plex compute server outside their portfolio.

Nothing like some good #music background while working! Thank you #plex for being 15y my go to #mediacenter platform.
Starting with #metallica and '91 BLACK album in remastered 2021 edition. #headbang 🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻
Time to get some help from #plexamp to get through this Godsmack hot Monday 🤘
Also, die eigenen Medien vom eigenen Server, auf z.B. die Android-App Streamen, für die man bereits gezahlt hat, ist jetzt also abopflichtig.
Happy with the recent 2025.14.0 #Plex mobile app update! The fact that navigation towards the local libraries and servers as well as inside the tv shows is much easier now, I am more comfortable with this being rolled onto as a TV version.
#Mobland s01e02, just wow! I am absolutely hooked! Tom is carrying the whole show all the way. Love the fact that the #prodigy tracks follow along both episodes.

#HeadsUp if you have a #Plex Pass, they’re about to increase the cost A LOT – in #Australia, the annual subscription is increasing from AUD$49 to $109 (!!)
a MUCH better option (if you can afford it) is to upgrade to the lifetime pass, which is currently AUD$160 – less than 2 years at the new price & ~3 years at the old price. so long as Plex stays viable for at least 2-3 more years, this is the best option, price-wise
BUT these prices are only available until April 28 when the new pricing comes into effect. at that time, the lifetime pass also increases DRAMATICALLY to USD$250, which will be ~AUD$400 (!!)
so if you’re gonna stick with Plex, NOW is the time to upgrade – but definitely before April 28 (US time, I assume, so best to upgrade by April 25ish to be sure)
current subscriptions are pro-rated so you won’t be paying twice for the remainder of your subscription
info about the changes are on the Plex blog at https://www.plex.tv/blog/important-2025-plex-updates/
oh, and they’re also changing their privacy policy & terms of service – including changes to what data they will share or sell 😕 I highly recommend you review the changed versions:
#privacy policy (AU)
https://www.plex.tv/en-au/about/privacy-legal/
terms of service (AU)
https://www.plex.tv/en-au/about/privacy-legal/plex-terms-of-service/
you can update some of your privacy & data sharing / selling choices (where they permit) in your account settings, but a lot of the preferences are scattered across their website in a really shitty way 🤮 & they’re presented inconsistently (some you have to check to opt out, some you have to uncheck to opt out)
you’ll need to log into your Plex account to see and check / uncheck / leave unchecked the checkboxes shown in each of these areas
opt-out choices
https://www.plex.tv/en-au/vendors-us/
they use a dark pattern for the first option – make sure you UNcheck (or leave unchecked) the one labelled “If this box is checked, then Plex may sell your personal data as described in the Privacy Policy. If this box is unchecked, then you are opted-out of this sale.”
the second checkbox labelled “All No” is one you’ll (probably) want to check – it’s the one below the text that reads, “Click “All No” if you want to opt-out of sharing personal information with any Vendor for each specific purpose or feature”
limit what activity data is sent from your Plex server
UNcheck (or leave unchecked) this checkbox labeled “Send playback data to Plex”
also take a look through your Plex server settings for other privacy & data settings like what’s visible to others from your Plex profile
https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/settings/account
under “ACCOUNT VISIBILITY & ACTIVITY SHARING” you can “Manage which of your Plex activities are viewable by your friends on Plex.” - hit edit to review / change these settings (I set everything to private except for “Account Visibility”, which I set to “Friends Only” 💁♀️)
review your privacy settings (takes you to the pages mentioned above that live outside your account but can only be set there 😕)
https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/settings/privacy
server-specific options – located in the settings menu under > General
the url will be in the form of
https://app.plex.tv/desktop/#!/settings/server//settings/general
review the following options – personally, I uncheck them all:
- Send crash reports to Plex
- Push Notifications (post attention to the helptext here, “Note: Push notifications are delivered using Plex services. They're associated with your account, and some of them may contain information about the contents of your library.”
- Enable Plex Media Server debug logging
- Enable Plex Media Server verbose logging
website cookies
you can reject optional cookies at
https://www.plex.tv/en-au/
there might be some other settings spread around – either inside your account or server settings, or on the Plex website – so have a good look around
sadly, like so many other things we use these days, we’re in the era of having to treat the companies that provide the services & products we ̶b̶u̶y̶ ̶ rent from them (even physical ones) as hostile providers 😕
not only are we the product if we’re not paying for the service, usually even when we are paying for things we (well, our data & metadata) are still the product 😠😡
