In a world where most of what we watch or listen to is hosted on “cloud” servers (and thus readily available across devices) the need for dedicated PC-based setups like Plex feels narrower - but it’s clearly not non-existent. Plex Media Server is available on most operating systems but is particularly useful when paired with Linux since it can take full advantage of its inherent flexibility. It’s easy to forget how ubiquitous “local” home theatre set-ups were prior to the ‘on demand streaming’ era. I had a similar problem, and was able to fix it using a few easy steps. In a blog post to announce the arrivals the company describes Plex HTPC as “ …the true spiritual successor to TV mode,” referencing the much-loved but rather antiquated ‘Plex Meda Player’ tool some Plex users weren’t keen to move on from.ĭesigned for the big-screen, Plex HTPC includes a compliment of features centred around a home theatre setup, including remote controller/gamepad support, input mapping, refresh rate switching, multi-channel audio, and more.

This combines a powerful playback engine and an engaging UI that scales up to 10 feet in size. Plex fans will be thrilled to hear that an official Plex Desktop app for Linux is now available to download – though for now, you can only get it from the Snap Store.Īlongside the debut of this long-awaited Linux desktop app (more on it in a second) is a ‘buttery smooth’ TV mode in Plex HTPC (pictured above).
