Plex Media Center bridges the gap between your Mac/Windows and your home theater, doing so with a visually appealing user interface that provides instant access to your media. Plex can play a wide range of video, audio and photo formats as well as online streaming audio and video(Youtube, etc). The real power of Plex is found in its library features: Organize your media into versatile libraries, automatically retrieve metadata from the Internet, and display your libraries using one of the visually stunning skins. Plex Pass costs $7/month.

Plex Media Server 1.43.5.11079 is now available to everyone.
Plex Media Server 1.43.5.11079 is now available to Plex Pass users in the Beta update channel.
NEW:
(Metadata) Added support for reading artist and album metadata from NFO files in music libraries (PM-6153)
(Network) Ignore manually specified public port for IPv6 connections (PM-5364)
(Network) Send subnet information to plex.tv so IPv6 and non-private local connections are detected correctly (PM-5364)
(Security) The server no longer trusts the eMudhra certificate authority roots whose intermediate signing keys were compromised (PM-6479)
Updated Web to 4.162.1
FIXES:
(Butler) Scheduled loudness analysis ran on movie and TV libraries that had it disabled (PM-6263)
(DVR) Harden validation of the post-processing script setting (PM-5538)
(Metadata) Stream display titles left out the format for Plex for Roku (PM-5906)
(Music) The record label was not read from the ID3v2 publisher (TPUB) tag in MP3 files (PM-3800)
(Network) Added IPv6 support to the preferred network interface (PM-6017)
(Network) Try every resolved address when connecting to pubsub servers (PM-5760)
(Remote Access) The server could keep reporting its port as mapped after remote access was disabled, which left Plex Web waiting indefinitely (PM-6260)
(Security) Address a library scoping issue in search results (PM-5958)
(Security) Fixed request locality when the server’s local network interface is unknown (PM-6183)
(Security) Increase security on requests arriving through a proxy (PM-6201)
(Thumbnails) Video preview thumbnail generation on Windows no longer leaves temporary index files behind; bundle cleanup removes existing ones (PM-3536)
(Transcoder) Photos could fail to load for clients connecting through a reverse proxy (PM-6476)
(Transcoder) The server could crash while building an HLS playlist for media without a video stream (PM-6226)
(UltraBlur) Colors were computed from the thumbnail when an item had no artwork of its own, so episodes and seasons did not match the background shown by clients (PM-4282)
