Description: If you don't know or care what a media server is, but you just want to stream your videos and music collection around the house, Plex could work well for you. Install it on all your devices, point it at some media, and those audio and video files become available on everything—even remotely. Plex is a media management platform with two parts: the media server software (Plex Media Server) and the new playback application (Plex), which replaces the Plex Media Player. The benefit of this setup is that you only need to worry about maintaining your file collection on your server. Your media library follows you to every device with the Plex app. To get started, you set up a server on a device using the Plex Media Server application, and add local media libraries to it. Plex is best for people with large repositories of local media files who don't have a lot of space on the devices to which they'll stream content. It's also for people who oppose popular video and music streaming services. Although we don't condone the practice, content pirates may be drawn to Plex, as well. Once the media server is configured, you can stream and download that server content on other devices, as well as share you library with other people via the new, cross-platform Plex app. As for specific changes, the updated media playback app replaces the older Sync capability with the simpler Download function for accessing your files offline. However, some functionality and platform support is going away, or being retooled for a later release. On the Plex forums, you can download a preview version of Plex HTPC, a home theater app that brings back useful Plex Media Player functionality to the PC and Mac and eventually Linux. However, it's not ready for an official release.
