Something to gaze at while you stroke your hairless cat. First of all, we wanted a beautiful way to see all playbacks, even across multiple servers something you might repurpose an old iPad for, duct taping it to a wall in your secret lair. So why not a single-purpose app dedicated to server administration? Like many things in the history of Plex, the genesis of Plex Dash involved scratching some itches. And if you need further incentive to go ahead and grab that glorious Plex Pass, Plexamp isn’t the only app we’re launching today… Introducing Plex Dash A dash of powerĪs you might imagine, plenty of us here at Plex run our own personal media servers and like keeping a close eye on them. The new version of Plexamp is Plex Pass only. Over the last year, our small group of fearless testers has gone through 110 (that’s one-hundred-and-ten) betas, and it might be easiest to let their words speak for themselves: And if you don’t, maybe it’s time to give it a try? If you already use music on Plex, you’re going to love it. We’re calling the new version 3.0 (although 3.11 might have been more appropriate) and there are so many new features that we’ve written an entire Medium post about them. Inspired by the promise of the first releases, and our shared love with Hemingway of a great daiquiri, we decided to rewrite the whole thing from scratch, add a ton of features, and then release it (today? Sure why not!) on five platforms: iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux. Had we abandoned it? Was the llama tired of being whipped? Had the zen garden suddenly filled with weeds? Nope. But after a year of updates, things went quiet. When we first launched Plex Labs, our first release was Plexamp, a tiny, highly opinionated desktop music player. In other words, a thousand zen gardens… A Brand New Plexamp “The only kind of writing is rewriting” – Ernest Hemingway Plex can be like a fractal-everyone has their own view of what the most important parts of the platform are, and you can zoom into any one of these and spend a lifetime working on perfecting and improving that little area.
We started Plex Labs just over two years ago to provide, among other things, a playground for new apps (both our own, as well as 3rd-party apps that struck our fancy) that build on our awesome media platform.
