Organize Your Library with Metadata and Information

With Plex, you get these same features for no matter which platform you are on. It even detected my carefully-tagged iTunes media library with all the playlists and album covers intact!

It Features Subtitles Support!

Fun fact. It’s 2015 and the default media player apps for current-gen consoles like Xbox One and Playstation don’t have support to display external subtitle files for your favorite movies and tv shows. Shocker right? And recently, Plex app became free for these platforms too, so this remains one of the biggest reasons to get the app running on your consoles. For more convenience, it can also fetch subtitles from pre-configured sources.
