Casting support is still available on older Chromecast devices or TVs that support Google Cast natively, according to Netflix’s support page

    Sorry man but it’s you who is misunderstanding.

    Plex used to let you buy a “license” for a one-time fee which allowed you to stream to phones. You did not need a Plex Pass, lifetime or otherwise.

    Recently, Plex announced that you no longer need to pay this one-time fee. However, you can no longer stream videos to your phone without Plex Pass. If you have Plex Pass, you are obviously unaffected

    This basically invalidated the paid licenses of anyone not paying for Plex Pass.

    That is what they’re talking about.

      Correct. Both myself and several friends are enjoying our lifetime Plex pass nearly 2 decades later.

      As for the rest, none of that changes anything for me. It changes things for people who did not buy a lifetime one time payment Plex pass.

      So are you done lying or was it not really a lie? It was just that you were too stupid to figure out subscription terms?

      If you pay once for a Plex subscription, the lifetime pass, you only pay once. I’m sorry to hear that this condition was too difficult for you to figure out.

        Did you…read what I wrote? Even the part you quoted? I’m guessing not because you didn’t notice I’m not the person you’ve been arguing. I’m just a bystander who saw someone being a confidentially incorrect.

        The one-time license we’re referring to is different than Plex Pass. What part aren’t you understanding? I’d break it down for you again with links but I’m doubting you’d even read it lol

          You’re either lying or hallucinating again. There was only ever one one time Plex pass sold. And it was the Plex pass. For a lifetime.

          Once again, I’m very sorry that you seem to have some extremely difficult mental issues that prevent you from understanding the terms that Plex offers. Millions of others seemed to manage just fine, but perhaps, you should have someone helping you out.

          Really, I don’t know who told you this shit, but they were wrong and so are you

          Downvote me all you like, but it doesn’t change the facts

            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.

                Did you get lost?

                My entire point was that Plex has set a precedent of not honouring their one-time purchases by requiring people who made it to now either get Remote Watch Pass or a full Plex Pass.

                If you want to simp for Plex, have fun. But if they decide to invalidate your “one-time” purchase, don’t be surprised.

                    What delusions, exactly?

                    Because the thing I’m talking about is listed in their new FAQ and support pages. So it can’t be that, right?

                    Enlighten me, what is it?

            You’re right that downvotes don’t change facts. And the fact is that Plex used to sell a license for phone streaming

            Here’s an official post referencing its removal since you’re too pigheaded to accept that you’re wrong

            Our Android and iOS mobile apps previously required a one-time activation fee or Plex Pass to remove the one-minute playback limitation when streaming content from a Plex Media Server.

              So the fuck what?

              Sounds like you’re stuck in the past and trying to use something that happened decades ago as the one and only argument you have.

              Thing is: it doesn’t fucking matter. Nobody fucking cares. You’re crying into the wind.

                Hilarious. From “you’re lying” to “it doesn’t matter anyway”! Are you by chance employed by Plex?

                It’s relevant to the conversation at hand. There has been literally no crying, just acknowledging that Plex changes their terms even if you paid in full.

                You are the only one with elevated emotions. Perhaps it’s time for some chamomile tea and a nice little nap.

                  Keep crying over the myths and legends you’ve been told.

                  I treat my parents the same way when they get into that bullshit “god” crap, lol

                    Oh damn didn’t know I was arguing with a literal child, my bad.

                    You’re really back to “you’re lying,” though? Guess I was right about your inability (or decision not to) read.

                    I hope you think about this thread later. Do some self reflection, bud. Ask yourself why you lashed out. What did you feel when presented with the evidence that you were wrong? Why did you keep digging your heels in when you realized that they did indeed used to offer a paid license that was separate from Plex Pass? Why insult the intelligence of the people teaching you?

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

                What a shocker.
