minus-squareSwarfega@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-226 天前How do you work that out? I paid for the app so that I can play media on the go. Now that payment meant nothing and now they want me to pay a monthly fee instead. Anyone new to Plex who doesn’t want a subscription can only play media when they are at home. Whereas before it was a one time payment. Jellyfin is the future. Plex is dead to me.
