Versie 0.9.12.3 van Plex Media Server is uitgekomen. Dit is een publieke release en dus niet alleen voor houders van een betaald PlexPass-abonnement. Plex Media Server is een opensourcemediaserver voor Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, OS X en diverse nas-apparaten. De software kan content serveren aan clients op dezelfde machine, binnen het lokale netwerk of via 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 softwarewinkel, waar plug-ins kunnen worden uitgewisseld. Via deze plug-ins kan bijvoorbeeld content van diverse streamingdiensten worden bekeken. Daarnaast is er PlexPass, een betaalde dienst die eerder toegang tot nieuwe versies geeft, naast korting op 'Premium features'. Sinds de vorige publieke uitgave zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen doorgevoerd:
