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.

          I don’t have a static IP adress, so I use Tailscale to connect remotely to my Jellyfin server (located at home).

          The ability to watch from anywhere.

          Install on the Jellyfin server and share that server (or just the IP with the Jellyfin port) with whoever you want. Now they have access to Jellyfin and Jellyfin only.
          That’s how I set stuff up for friends and family.

        I run Jellyfin on Chromecast with Google TV every day, it works super well.

        Unless you mean casting from your phone, then I don’t know.
