We are also changing how remote playback works for streaming personal media (that is, playback when not on the same local network as the server). The reality is that we need more resources to continue putting forth the best personal media experience, and as a result, we will no longer offer remote playback as a free feature. This—alongside the new Plex Pass pricing—will help provide those resources. This change will apply to the future release of our new Plex experience for mobile and other platforms.

    It never occurred to me that when people talk about “wife factor”, they mean setup. I also thought they just meant use.

    My wife uses Jellyfin and complains about it less than Netflix or Prime.

    My wife is an iPhone and Mac user and asks me to set all her Apple stuff up. I get asked to fix things all the time.

    Apparently neither Apple or Jellyfin have sufficient “wife factor” if we include setup.
