plex-desktop1.115.0

Play movies and television through Plex from a dedicated Linux desktop client instead of relying on a browser tab. plex-desktop is published by Plex, Inc. for Linux users who want direct access to Plex playback on their computers. Its point-and-click layout follows the familiar, browser-like Plex experience, so browsing and selecting media feels consistent with the service. Playback uses an engine that is more capable than the one provided by the browser interface.

The Plex experience brings together movies and TV shows, including free movies and television, daytime TV and games, food, home and culture programming, and World Poker Tour content. The service also presents live channels and current broadcasts, with examples including Z Nation, COPS, action Hollywood movies, and Dr. Phil. Its library spans series such as Doctor Who, Farscape, Sherlock Holmes, Pee-wee’s Playhouse, and The Bold and the Beautiful, alongside films and other scheduled programs.

The current release is version 1.115.0 and targets amd64 Linux systems. Linux and snapd are required to use it, and its commercial license applies to the software. It suits desktop viewers who want Plex playback and browsing in a Linux-native program while retaining a familiar Plex-style interface.
