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).

Ah okay. When I used Plex it had hardware acceleration. But I’d been a Plex Pass lifetime pass user for years so forgot the distinction between that and non pass. Thanks
