Plex Web

Welcome to the forums for our new--and hopefully awesome--web client! I figured I'd start things off here by reiterating that the web client is a work in progress and listing a few known issues. A lot of software engineers will tell you that a project is never really done (ever notice that Plex Media Server is still version 0.9?). That's probably true, but it's not even what we mean when we say that the web client isn't done yet.

• We're going to try to support a bunch of browsers, but right now we're prioritizing features over perfecting browser support. Chrome, Firefox, and Safari deliver the best experience right now. And regardless of which browser you're using, you're always best off using the latest version.
• Channel support is still a bit rough. Some channels work well, some have problems. We're working on it. In particular, you will have trouble with the iPhoto and iTunes channels.
• Player issues. The player isn't perfect yet. If you want the best player experience, I'd recommend using Safari for now.

Get Started

The web client is packaged with the Plex Media Server, so a separate download is not needed. Plex Media Server will also apply updates to the web client bundle automatically as they are detected. First, you can try accessing the application by going to http://my.plexapp.com/web. If you are experiencing issues, you can access the application locally at http://ip.address.of.server:32400/web. There is also a shortcut titled "Plex Web Client (NEW!)" on the server page in myPlex for those trying to access the web client remotely.


Your feedback is most appreciated, and we'll be making changes and releasing updates often. Enjoy!
