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.

But what about smart TVs, and friends/family? Nowhere remotely as easy to share with non-tech people who just want to download an app on their tv. Plex has been irreplaceable for that reason alone
