It’s about… Managing Plex Media ServerĪs a long time user of Plex, I have reasonably large library. Plex now offers native computer clients for Windows Desktop, Windows Modern UI and OSX, with Linux being catered for in the community.Ī smorgasbord of mobile platforms are supported with iOS, Android and Windows Phone (horray!) being represented.Ĭonnected device support is pretty much unparalleled with Samsung Smart TVs, Roku & Amazon Fire TV, GoogleTV and ChromeCast along with generic DNLA all being supported.įinally, the Plex dev team have authored servers for computer operating systems (Windows, OSX, Linux & FreeBSD) and plugins for six NAS manufacturers.īut this post isn’t about the clients, or what servers you can run. Of course, since then things have moved on a bit. When I discovered it could transcode to iOS devices, I made the leap wholesale, purchasing an Apple Mac Mini front end PC for my home theater downstairs and a Mac Mini Server for my office to run the back-end Media Server. If you know what Plex is, the feel free to click this link to be taken straight to the PowerShell documentation and code!Īs an ex- XBMC user (pun intended), I was initially drawn to Plex’s offering by the fact it looks polished ‘out of the box’ without having to author custom themes.

As many of you may know, I’m a long time fan of the cross-platform media server, Plex.
