This saves it right in your Plex Media Server library, effectively giving you anytime access to content that generally needs a web connection to view. One more big addition is PlayLater integration, which allows people who have a subscription to that service to record content on streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, HBO Go and more for later viewing. For now, it’s iOS-only, but Plex plans to expand that to other platforms in the future. The camera upload feature that Plex is introducing is described in the video above, but basically it’s wireless sync from your phone to your Plex Media Server, iCloud or Google Drive-style, but with instant access to your favourite snaps on your home theatre PC.

The bulk of 1080p content also now streams without any transcoding needed.

These can be modified and added to on the fly so that the watching never has to stop, putting Plex in an even better position to replace TV, with its ability to be on in the background without much input required on the part of the user.Īs for the updated Chromecast support, not only does it become free for all, it also supports music and photos with this client update on web, iOS and Android, and it offers Content Mirroring for showing exactly what you’re browsing on your iOS or Android app even in menus on your Chromecast-connected display. That’s probably the biggest addition here for general users, but Plex Pass members get a few new perks to make up for it, including camera upload from iOS devices, and Shared Sync, which lets you give friends and family offline syncing permissions for your Plex media server.Ī new feature called Play Queues for all users on iOS and the Plex web client (with future rollout planned for other platforms) also allows users to set up videos and music for continuous play, and shuffle music from different artists or create marathon viewing sessions of entire TV series’.
If you're curious of my set up, just send me a DM and I'll give you more details.Streaming media platform Plex has a big update for users today, which includes opening up Chromecast support to all users, after debuting it as a feature for paid Plex Pass users only back in December. It's not the most elegant solution but it always works well, and pushes the problem of multiroom to the google devices, which seems to be a solved problem for Google. Since I already had a bunch of google devices I didn't want to part with (including a chromecast audio and a home max), what I do is run a separate LMS/Squeezebox instance that I use for casting anything I know I want gapless playback for. You won't get any song metadata on the device, or the ability to switch songs (you can pause but that's it), because the device only sees it as a direct stream of some audio source (like casting your Phone's audio), not as a song or an album. However, there are some music servers (not plexamp) that can cast a seamless bit-perfect PCM stream to google devices. My understanding is there's a chromecast api issue that makes gapless playback incompatible with the way Plexamp casts audio.

I run Plexamp for essentially everything except casting full albums to google speakers/chromecast audio because plexamp doesn't support a gapless playback to google devices.
