Making Plex Media Player more widely available might even encourage a few more people to give home theater PCs a try. Why this matters: We’re living in a streaming-focused world, but that hasn’t stopped Plex from steadily improving its features for those with large local media libraries. The free version, according to Plex’s site, will lack features such as access to Plex DVR, audio fingerprinting, and multiple users. Plex only says its new add-on will continue to be developed “for the foreseeable future” and will evaluate whether or not to add more features “over time.”Ĭurrently, the Kodi add-on is a Plex Pass-only preview, but it appears there will be a free version. It’s not clear if those features will come to Kodi eventually. Plex says Plex Companion and channel support aren’t available, as well as some unnamed music features. Web series, news, and podcasts on demand: Watch unlimited, on-demand streaming of the best-curated web channels and get personalized. Plex adds rich descriptions, artwork, and other related information. While the Plex add-on for Kodi packs a number of nice Plex features such as server discovery, user switching, and library organization, it’s not the complete Plex experience. All your personal media: Stream your own photos, music, movies, shows, even DVR-ed TV to any device in a beautiful, simple interface. At launched Plex Media Player will be available to Plex Pass subscribers, but after a preview period is over it will be available for free users as well.
