Spent a weekend in IDA figuring out how Plex Media Server decides what counts as a Plex Pass feature. It basically comes down to one in-memory bitset that plex.tv fills in, so I wrote a small lib that hooks the function populating it and just flips every bit on.

Two things that made it way more annoying than expected: Plex bundles its own musl libc, so a normal glibc build won’t even load, and patchelf straight up corrupts the binary. Ended up injecting with LD_PRELOAD instead.

Linux x86-64 only, meant for poking at your own server. Code + notes: Freeloader

Transcoder settings screenshoot (Notice the Go Premium) ;)
