Download Plex Media Server 1.7.5

Plex has released version 1.7.5 of Plex Media Server. 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.

The program includes its own software store where plug-ins can be exchanged. Via these plug-ins, content from various streaming services can be viewed, among other things. In addition, there is PlexPass, a paid service that gives early access to new versions in addition to discounts on ‘Premium features’. Since version 1.5.7, the previous public release we focused on at Downloads, the following changes and improvements have been made:
