    Are you a plex pass subscriber?

    Long time plex pass subscriber here. This was one of the features back in the day that separated from free vs paid. I went googling and looking on plex’s site and didn’t find mention of it, but it might not be worth mentioning by them anymore as they have at the bottom of the plex pass features a catch all “and even more!”

      I will do a month of Plex Pass and see if I can get it going again. I struggled on google or the Plex site to find a really black and white position on this.
