If you haven’t got your Plex app yet, it might just be high time you did. Earlier this year, developers released a new update for the iOS Plex app with features that can really enhance your experience when it comes to enjoying digital content on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch from your computers at home.
Plex allows you to stream all of your content from your home computers, such as music, videos and photos via the Plex Media Server as well as content from a varied number of popular channels, such as Aperture, iPhoto, iTunes, Vimeo, YouTube and Revision3. Thanks to the myPlex feature, you can also share with all of your friends, family and colleagues your content, put videos on queue when watching from web browsing. But the best part is being able to stream your content at home from all over the world using only a Wi-Fi or a cellular connection via the Plex Media Server. And all that without being required to convert files.
The update released in May features a significant list of fixes for some annoying bugs, including the one that deleted all content while syncing via a weak network connection. The Retry Sync button was fixed too, as well as the playback performance of MOV files with MP3 audio. There are also a bunch of new features such as the Plex app now using paging when looking for content for improved filtering and faster loading. “You’ll notice the difference no matter how large your library is, but it’ll make a huge difference over remote connections or when accessing large libraries” reads the Plex App blog post. The new version also allows the user to remotely start and control playback on your iPhone, iPad and iPod from other devices running the app and connected to your network.
There are some limitations though. DRM-protected content, like that from iTunes, are not supported and the same goes for ISO images and VIDEO_TS folders.
