Na een reeks van versies die alleen voor PlexPass-houders beschikbaar was, is er nu een nieuwe publieke versie van Plex Media Server uitgekomen. Dit programma is een opensourcemediaserver voor Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, OS X en diverse nas-apparaten. Het kan content serveren aan clients op dezelfde machine, binnen het lokale netwerk of zelfs over internet. Clientsoftware is beschikbaar voor de eerder genoemde besturingssystemen, maar bijvoorbeeld ook voor iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Google TV en Chromecast.
Het programma bevat een eigen App Store, waar plug-ins kunnen worden uitgewisseld. Via deze plug-ins kan bijvoorbeeld content van diverse streaming-diensten worden bekeken. Daarnaast is er PlexPass, een betaalde dienst die eerder toegang tot nieuwe versies geeft, naast korting op 'Premium features'. De release notes voor deze uitgave kunnen hieronder worden gevonden.
