Plex Media Server at a glance
Plex Media Server organizes a private media library and makes it available across a home or office network and over the internet. The software reads movies, shows, music, and photos from existing folders, enriches them with metadata, and delivers them to client apps on TVs, set-top boxes, mobile devices, and in the browser. Administrators run it as a background service on servers or NAS devices.
The server is updated regularly; new editions improve playback, transcoding, and client connectivity, and close security gaps. Because the service is reachable over the network, updates should be applied promptly.
Before updating, it is worth reviewing the release notes, since transcoding or remote-access behavior can change. In environments with several clients, it is advisable to update the server first and verify playback on the most important devices before updating the clients.
