[Updated to clarify version numbering. iOS Plex app is at 2.0, Mac app is at 0.9.5 or 0.9.5.1 beta.]

Plex is an advanced Media Server that runs on your Mac and manages and distributes your audio and video to other computers, a connected TV and your iOS devices via the Plex iOS app. The Plex family of free apps has just upgraded the iOS and server clients with a streamlined GUI and new features like sharing between Plex users.

Other new features include user-scalable subtitles and significant speed improvements. A new cloud-based component lets Plex users access their home media from any PC or Mac without complicated logins or IP addresses. The service is free, but requires a sign up.

Plex fills a nice gap for Apple fans since the company nuked the Front Row player. Of course, Plex does a great deal more than Front Row ever hoped to do, and puts your media about anywhere you want to consume it.

The updated Plex server software is free and is downloadable from the Plex site. You can get much more info at the Plex blog. Plex is based on XBMC, an open source media player and hub, as is Boxee, another popular media solution.

The Plex server software runs on Mac OS X (Intel only), Windows and Linux. The iOS clients require iOS 4.1 or later.

Plex has updated both their iOS and desktop applications, bringing a whole suite of enhancements to the XBMC-based media center application. The team has released an incredibly awesome feature called myPlex, which allows users who have a dedicated Plex media server to stream music, movies and TV shows directly to their iOS device over the internet. From the myPlex website, it is possible to “share” a server with friends so they can access the media from anywhere—as long as there is a strong WiFi connection. Sure beats the heck out of syncing mp4s through iTunes.

What’s New in Version 2.0

Everything has changed. Except the icon.

You will love the new iOS application. It starts faster, connects faster, resumes faster, and is much more stable than the last version. Here is a list of the most visible changes:

  • myPlex support.
  • All-new home screen.
  • Alphabet indexing for quickly browsing through large media collections (yay!)
  • Subtitle scaling.
  • Audio boost for videos.
  • Internationalized to French, Swedish, German and Korean, with many thanks to our translators. (Want to help us localize it more? Visit this link in Firefox, and we’ll incorporate for the next release. Klingon, please!)
  • Much faster and more reliable connections to servers.
  • Caching improvements, images cached between WiFi and 3G.
  • Remember last filter (e.g. Recently Added) for each section.
  • Display album art/track name on lock screen (iOS5).
  • Support for photos via Plex Media Manager.
  • Lots of other minor improvements all over the application.

As I hope you can see, this is an absolutely massive release. We’ve brought huge improvements to every area of our media platform. We really hope you’ll enjoy them!
