Version 1.2.2 of Plex Media Server has been released. Plex Media Server is a media server for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, macOS 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. For the latter, however, additional software is needed 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’. New in version 1.2.2, which is currently only available to PlexPass subscribers, includes the ability to specify how much processing power and network capacity can be used, a feature called Streaming Brain.

NEW

  • New Feature – Streaming Brain.
  • (Streaming Brain) Preference for limiting bandwidth on WAN uploads. Limits can be per-stream and total.
  • (Streaming Brain) Playback session termination reasons are sent to the client and displayed to the user. This may require an updated client.
  • (Streaming Brain) Removed ‘Prioritize streaming transcodes’ preference. Background transcodes such as Sync, Media Optimizer, and video preview thumbnail generation are always prioritized behind streaming transcodes, and will pause completely if the simultaneous transcode limit is reached.
  • (Streaming Brain) Removed ‘Cloud Sync upload speed limit’ preference. Sync traffic automatically scales based on streaming WAN usage, and uses whatever bandwidth is left unused.
