    @aaronpk I just feel like I hit walls at every turn. I was just prompted to pay $4.99 so I could play media from my local network on my tablet. They're targeting a niche that's Not Me.

    as like an in-app purchase? Yeah that's a tough problem, they need revenue somehow, and I'd rather pay them than have them sell ads to me. I bought the lifetime pass several years ago and I haven't been bothered with prompts since then.

      @aaronpk Oof, wish I had known about the lifetime pass. I spent $180 on monthly passes before canceling.

      I don't mind paying for stuff but Plex is just so far beyond what I need. I have media files on a server, I want to stream them to a few devices. I don't want to sign in and have all these other extras.
