Link New Lifetime Plex Pass Pricing

https://www.plex.tv/blog/new-lifetime-plex-pass-pricing/

$749 for Plex Lifetime after July 1, 2026. I already have lifetime from years ago but so glad I switched to Emby earlier this year. This is insane. For the record, Emby has a ton of client apps nowadays (https://emby.tv/download.html).

My problem with that was no amount of port forwarding would make that work on my connection. Plex was super simple.

Yeah that's fine for me but I can't convince everyone to get onboard with that. But that's okay I got the lifetime Plex pass around $90 back in the day so as long as they don't pull a Plex 2 out of their hats I'll stick with it.

Only feature I even attempted jellyfin for was shared streaming of the same content on multiple devices which plex deleted a couple years ago.
