Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April (www.plex.tv)

We are also changing how remote playback works for streaming personal media (that is, playback when not on the same local network as the server). The reality is that we need more resources to continue putting forth the best personal media experience, and as a result, we will no longer offer remote playback as a free feature. This—alongside the new Plex Pass pricing—will help provide those resources. This change will apply to the future release of our new Plex experience for mobile and other platforms.

Well that's the beginning of the end for them.

I'm about half-way off the platform already (and I'm a lifetime subscriber)

The only thing I go back for is Roku use (better app), PlexAmp (better app) and offline viewing. I don't have to go off JF for those, but it's a lot better on Plex.

But it's not so much better than I can't protest.

I used Plexamp before and found the switch to Finamp pretty painless. Can't speak for other music apps though.

Finamp lets you listen to music and add songs to a playlist.

I'm missing the crossfade tracks option massively.

I'm missing the AI DJ's, but i could let them go in the name of privacy.

I kinda miss the visualization.

I really miss Plex's free SSL, server locator and user management.
