Plex for iOS Price Drop (From $5.49 to $1.99)

320

Title says it all. A good deal if you have plex pass.

With Plex, you can stream your music, videos and photos from your home computers running Plex Media Server (available from http://www.plexapp.com/) and access content from a wide range of channels. Channels are available for apps like Aperture, iTunes and iPhoto, or online services like YouTube, Vimeo and Revision3. There's also a remote control feature for Plex Media Center.

Additionally, you can sign up for the myPlex service, which lets you connect to servers shared with you by your friends, queue videos from your web browser to watch later, and connect to your Plex Media Server at home wherever you are in the world via Wi-Fi or a celluar connection, with no configuration necessary!

Plex Media Server streams your media directly from your computer, so there's no need to convert before viewing. Plex is smart, too - if your media isn't already in a format your device can play, it'll convert it on-the-fly.

Limitations:
• DRM-protected content (TV shows, movies and older music tracks from the iTunes store) is not supported.
• ISO images are not supported.
• VIDEO_TS folders are not supported.

Server Requirements:
• A Mac running OS X 10.6 or later, a PC running Windows XP or later (Windows Vista or Windows 7 recommended), or an Intel machine running Linux.
• In order to transcode to 720p (for the iPad and iPhone 4), you need at least a 2.2GHz Core 2 Duo processor. For 1080p content (for the iPad 2, iPad mini, iPad with Retina Display (3rd and 4th generation), iPhone 4S and iPhone 5) at least a 2.4GHz Core i5 or Core i7 processor is recommended.

    I might as well rename my ipad to plexpad as it is pretty much all i use it for… This is a fantastic app!

  • I personally load up my iPad with TV shows etc on VLC and watch it from there. I have not used Plex before but I assume that it is more a wireless based streaming product so you don't have to do the transfer of files.

    I might just give it a go but do you have to pay to be able to stream it over the net?

  • Thanks! I now have it on my WP8, Windows 8 laptop + Desktop, Android Tablet and iPad!
    Only XB1 Left :) Fingers Crossed
    Such a great app even the web version works well at work!

  • Anyone tried using this over ADSL2+? How badly does 1mbit upload hamstring the streaming?

  • Can you use this with Eve?
