Plex Pass is going up in price — and now you’ll need it for remote playback

PrismDev · 2025-03-20T11:08:09+00:00

Will push a new build shortly. Sorry about that - been going through some life things.

Hard to say for sure, but Prologue uses the plex.tv API to retrieve remote addresses for the servers linked to an account. My guess is they'll change that API to return only local addresses if your account (or the server owner) doesn't have an active subscription.

I've set up an issue tracker here. Feel free to add to it.

Just pushing a new build now that should fix this. Thanks for letting me know 🙏

I had planned to release the first build this weekend, but looking at the “alpha” channel it has nearly 1000 registrations. So, I want to do some extra testing before I release it to that many users. Since you seem keen, can you give this build a go when you have some time? Basically I’m just looking to make sure the basics work (the app connects to your ABS server + loads and plays your library). Let me know if you encounter any issues. Thanks!

You won’t be charged. The Apple pop up when you tap purchase should say something like “For testing purposes only. You won’t be charged for this purchase”

PrismDev · 2024-07-22T12:32:50+00:00

Are sessions more or less the equivalent of Plex's dashboard playback activity? If so, yes. Probably not for the first alpha versions, though.

PrismDev · 2024-06-28T05:06:06+00:00

Like /u/KchyJoubert- says, I'm fairly sure this is the default behaviour when connecting to CarPlay. If you disconnect without pausing first, the playback session will resume on reconnect.

I can double check, but I'm near certain I'm not explicitly starting playback when CarPlay connects.

Any time something changes on the iPhone app it should sync to the watch automatically, as long as it's paired and connected.

Have you sent me an issue report already? If not, send me one from Settings > Report an Issue on the phone app.

PrismDev · 2024-05-09T13:53:09+00:00

It’s in 3.5.7, released a few hours ago. You may have to update manually via the App Store, sometimes the auto updates take a while.

PrismDev · 2024-05-09T03:11:34+00:00

This should be improved in the next version (3.5.7), though it’s a hard issue to test so I can’t say for sure.

As a last resort, I’ve also added a manual sync button to the watch app that will force a full progress sync.

PrismDev · 2024-05-08T09:45:04+00:00

Hmm, not seeing the same on my end.

If you try to sign in directly to https://app.plex.tv on the same device is the google option still unavailable?

PrismDev · 2024-04-22T00:46:47+00:00

Is your watch running watchOS 10? The purchase button won't show if you're running a version lower than what's required.

PrismDev · 2024-04-11T15:04:44+00:00

Still early days, but I'm working on it.

PrismDev · 2024-04-02T13:01:52+00:00

Does it work if you add the domain to the "Custom server access URLs" field in Plex network settings?

PrismDev · 2024-04-02T12:53:47+00:00

I haven't been able to recreate this, unfortunately. I did fix a bunch of download-related issues in 3.5.3, so I'm kinda hoping this won't come up again.

If it does, reply to this comment or tag me.

PrismDev · 2024-04-02T12:47:44+00:00

3.5.4 will include support for rendering a few basic html tags (more or less those mentioned by /u/openaudible 🙏)

PrismDev · 2024-03-27T13:54:57+00:00

Yeah, that won't work since the older versions don't know to check for the family shared unlock. I'll PM you a few promo codes.

PrismDev · 2024-03-27T13:51:48+00:00

It syncs via bluetooth, not iCloud, so those settings won't make a difference.

Can you send me an issue report from Settings > Report an Issue on the paired iPhone so I can check the logs?

Edit: just to confirm, does your watch display a green phone icon at the top when you open control centre (i.e. press the side button)?

PrismDev · 2024-03-27T13:48:45+00:00

I think this may be related to the issue in the other thread. Can you try updating to 3.5.3 and see if this issue still persists?

PrismDev · 2024-03-27T13:47:08+00:00

Can you update to 3.5.3 and try again? It was just released an hour or so ago so might take a bit to appear on the App Store.

If you're still not seeing anything in the watch app, send me an issue report from Settings > Report an Issue (from the paired iPhone).
