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.

I think it could be a bug and I would report it. In the Pass description one of the function is the option to skip ads on local content https://www.plex.tv/plex-pass/#modal-plex-pass-features

Maybe you are right, but the local content has been always without ads, and the generic description should be related to both, live TV and own files. It would be a non-sense to add ads to stream a local content that you can easily stream with any dlna server etc.
