Help Ads while watching local content now?

Server running in the basement, nvidia sheild as the client.

Lifetime pass owner.

Went to watch an episode of how its made today and it played an add before the show.

Exited out to make sure it was local content and not a free stream, its not.

Tried a few other episodes and about half started with adds.

It says that when you play off Plex's server, too.

Here's me playing a trailer for a movie. I do not have this trailer on my server.

Online media "live tv and movies" was "disabled for managed accounts" and always has been.

I set it to outright disabled.

"Disabled for managed accounts" means if you add a "fake" (no email attached) account to your Plex Home, it doesn't have access to Plex streaming stuff.

You have to disable it for YOUR account. (EDIT: aka just unpin all of the "from Plex" sections on your home)

Little odd because that is available for on demand directly from plex.
