I don’t have access to it anymore. The paid app that gave me the same access as Plex Pass is long gone, it was replaced by a free app that only has full functionality if you pay for a Plex Pass.
You keep saying I’m wrong when the app I bought is literally not available in the Play Store anymore. If I go through my purchases, it’s still there, but greyed out.
The app I bought was removed and replaced by a free app. You are talking out your ass.
It was replaced with a different app. That app can watch free content but requires a payment to watch personal media.
The app you purchased is literally just the IAP functionality of the app that exists, which if you are using the same account will be available after clicking “restore purchase.” Nothing. Has. Been. Deprecated.
Do I need to explain how accounts work or do you think you can take it from here?

Exactly. So the functionality I paid for - the ability to watch personal media via the Android app - has been taken away from me.
Edit: You might be right that the purchase can be restored. However, in trying to verify that I encountered an even bigger issue: you can’t even sign into the app or use it in any way without having Google Play Services on your phone. That’s a deal breaker for me either way. No issue with that on Jellyfin, and even if it were it being open source means there would be ways around it.
I have the apk, I had it before my previous reply. It won’t let me sign in because it requires Google Play Services. I’ve tried with multiple internet connections and using different DNS settings. My Plex account works fine on the website.
Even if I could sign in, I have my doubts whether it would let me restore the purchase, again because I do not have Google Play Services.
The app also includes at least 6 trackers, including 2 from Facebook:
Like I say, you’re probably right about the Plex app still having the functionality. My mistake. I still prefer not to use Plex services for a number of reasons.
In any case, you’ve behaved like a complete asshat the entire time I’ve been speaking with you, so this will be my last reply.
funny that i’ve got a degoogled shield running the apk locally without any issue but go off please about how im the asshat while you just keep making up shit to trash a product you don’t use or know about.
you paid for the app that you still have access to, in what way was that deprecated?

i think you just don’t understand what you bought. you bought access to the android app which you still have.
if it isn’t working that’s an issue for support.
nothing. has. been. deprecated.
why do you insist on talking out of your ass instead of doing the tiniest amount of research?

No the functionality you paid for is still 100% available to you because nothing. has. been. deprecated.
You can download the apk direct from Plex forums. Or from apkpure etc.
For somebody so intent on hating Plex you sure have no fucking idea about them.
You don’t need google and nothing has been deprecated. Any other shit you wanna make up to trash Plex?
