Lifetime Pass Member… just put on The Devils Advocate (1997) and got a full 30s ad.

… just paused it to verify it was actually in my library… -and got another 2 ads… what the actual fuck? Just me?

EDIT: Looking back at the app, seems I was somehow in Plex Streaming, but how it was put up above my own content I can’t understand, and the movie page does not make it obvious that’s what I’m looking at.

    Devil’s Advocate is free on Plex on demand, which is ad supported. Somehow you played that version and not your local one.

      This has not been a thing ever in plex’s history. If they actually tried pulling this they’d lose 90% of their user base within a few months.

      Jellyfin isn’t just an alternative anymore. It’s an en par replacement, in most ways, and generally supersedes it.
