TL;DR

• Starting this week, the Plex app for Roku will require a Remote Watch Pass or Plex Pass for remote streaming.
• This requirement will be expanded to other platforms, including Android TV, Fire TV, and Apple TV, by 2026.
• Server owners can bypass this fee for their users if they subscribe to a Plex Pass themselves.

Earlier this year, Plex created a ripple among its fans when it announced a price increase for Plex Pass, along with significant changes to how remote streaming worked. The changes were initially rolled out to mobile devices, and now Plex is expanding them to other platforms, starting with its app on Roku OS.
