Download Plex Media Server 0.9.16.2

Earlier this week, version 0.9.16.2 Plex Media Server was released for paid PlexPass subscription holders, but it is now available for download by anyone. Plex Media Server is an open source media server for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, OS X and various NAS devices. The software can serve content to clients on the same machine, within the local network or over the Internet. Client software is available for the aforementioned operating systems, but content can also be viewed on iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Google TV and Chromecast, for example. However, the latter requires additional software to get the stream on the Chromecast.

The program includes its own software store where plug-ins can be exchanged. For example, content from various streaming services can be viewed via these plug-ins. In addition, there is PlexPass, a paid service that gives early access to new versions, in addition to discounts on ‘Premium features’. In this release release the following changes and improvements have been made:

New

• (NAS) Support Synology DS414j, DS416j and DSM 6.0 Beta
