Eerder deze week is versie 0.9.15.2 van Plex Media Server uitgekomen voor houders van een betaald PlexPass-abonnement, maar inmiddels mag hij door iedereen worden gedownload. 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 content kan ook worden bekeken op bijvoorbeeld iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Google TV en Chromecast. Voor die laatste is echter wel extra software nodig om de stream op de Chromecast te krijgen.
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:
