Hi forum folk. :slight_smile:

We’ve updated some key parts of Plex Media Player for Windows and Mac and would like to preview these early builds with users. There is no preview release for Plex Media Player embedded releases.

What’s new?

  • macOS: Catalina support
  • macOS: Dark mode
  • macOS: CEC driver update
  • Windows and macOS: Updated ffmpeg and mpv
  • Windows and macOS: Updated Qt web view and system integration

What to test?

  • Media playback! See any change in behavior?
  • System integration. Any weird things happening while interacting with the application?
  • Are CEC controlled devices working well with macOS?

How to download and install?

You can find the download links below. The Mac build can be run alongside an existing installation. While the Windows build will replace your existing installation. You can uninstall the preview build and re-install the latest Plex Media Player 2.x release.

Where to provide feedback?

Please leave feedback in our Desktop Players forum. Tagging your thread with plex-media-player will ensure we see your feedback.

Thanks!

Hello!

We have updated the v3 preview of Plex Media Player! The changes from the last preview is:

  • Qt has been upgraded to 5.14.1 which fixes several issues with scaling and performance.
  • Web-client has been upgraded to the latest version.
  • TrueHD playback has been fixed

Here are the links:

Let us know if there is anything causing you issues with this latest build since we are planning to replacing the 2.x series with this soon.
