So what you’re saying is that you were completely wrong and so smug and confident about it?

What a shocker.

There was only ever one one time Plex pass sold. And it was the Plex pass. For a lifetime.

Correct. Which is why both of us keep saying we’re not talking about the Plex Pass. We’re talking about the one-time purchase to unlock remote streaming on Android/iOS.

… Because you bought a Plex Pass, which I specifically said is not what I’m talking about.

Are you dyslexic?

I’m not talking about the lifetime Plex pass or monthly pass.

If you paid the one-time purchase to unlock streaming to your device, Plex has stopped honouring that deal. You now either need to pay for a Remote Streaming Pass, or a Plex Pass.

What does that have to do with Plex dropping support for people that paid the one-time purchase?

The one-time purchase was for iPhones too.

I bought a one-time purchase to unlock streaming to my Android device years ago.

Let’s hope they don’t alter your deal too.

Until they make it exclusive to the Plex Pass

It would have been extremely easy for you to do some cursory reading about the thing you apparently wanted to know about, instead of being deliberately obtuse and annoying. But here we are.

You really don’t even want to try do you?

1. What was paid for in this supposed one time fee

From the link:

What are the features and limitations without unlocking the app?

Free Functionality

The following functionality is available without unlocking the Plex for Android app:

The following functionality is available without unlocking the Plex for Android app:

• Unlimited casting/flinging of photos and videos from the Camera Roll on your phone or tablet to other Plex apps that support Plex Companion
• Unlimited casting/flinging of any media on your Plex Media Server to other Plex apps that support Plex Companion
• Remote control your big screen Plex apps that support Plex Companion
• “Movies & Shows” video on demand content from Plex
• free Live TV channels from Plex
• Browse libraries from your own or shared Plex Media Servers
  LIMITATIONS: When playing or viewing media from your Plex Media Server on the device:
  • Video is limited to one minute of playback
  • Music is limited to one minute of playback
  • Photos will have a watermark added
  • There are multiple ways to unlock/activate the app to remove the playback limitations when streaming from a Plex Media Server.

Unlocked Functionality

Unlocking the app will remove the playback limitations when streaming from a Plex Media Server.

Unlocking or Activating Plex for Android

The Plex for Android app is available to download for free from the Google Play or Amazon app stores. While many features of the app are available to use for free and users can test out all of the features, there are playback limitations when streaming from a Plex Media Server unless the app is unlocked.

One-Time Purchase in the App

Users who don’t have a Plex Pass subscription—and aren’t interested in starting one—can unlock Plex for Android through a simple one-time purchase.

The purchase is tied to your app store account. You can download and use on any Android device with the app store you originally purchased it from with the app store account you purchased it with. The purchase is linked to the app store account that made the purchase and doesn’t extend to other app store accounts or profiles.

For instance, if you purchase the app through Google Play, then the purchase will apply to any Android device using the same Google Play account. The purchase does not extend to a different Google Play account, nor does it extend to other app stores, such as Amazon or iTunes.

2. What was changed/taken away.

From the link:

Can I access my Plex library outside of my home network?

Yes, that’s possible! First, you’ll need to set up Remote Access on the Plex Media Server to facilitate remote connections. You then need either an active Plex Pass subscription on your server admin account (allowing any user accessing the server to stream remotely) or a Remote Watch Pass (letting you stream remotely from any server to which you have access).

3. What this extended trial does.

From the link:

Had to bust out the dictionary for this one:

Extended (adjective)

Continued or prolonged.
extended efforts

Trial

A tentative or experimental action in order to ascertain results; experiment.

The page does not explain what these things are.

Which is why it’s crazy that I just followed the link you were given and copied/pasted this information in. Must be magic.

All of that to say, fuck you right back for your obtuse little replies. Try actually reading what you’re linked to and asking intelligent questions next time, instead of “Huh? What? I don’t know those words…”

You responded to a comment detailing it and linking you directly to the source…

I’m not sure you do know what it means though. Because if you did, then it would be obvious how requiring another fee for the thing you already paid the one-time fee for makes the original promise of the one-time fee a lie.

How would you define “one-time fee” in this context?

That the one-time fee was a lie.
