Plex Media Player for Windows Binary Downloads

For anyone else who’s curious about this, it appears that the binaries are still available (for now, at least) through the Plex EOL announcement here: EOL for Plex Media Player

It’s unclear how long the binaries will continue to be built, or whether the open-source repository associated with PMP will continue to exist after that point. The binaries aren’t hosted via the PMP GitHub releases, so this is the only place to get them.

As an aside, I want to roundly condemn, in the strongest possible terms, Plex’s decision to abandon free and open-source software by switching from PMP to Plex for Windows/Mac. As both a lifetime Plex Pass holder and an open-source developer, this move is not only an unfortunate spit in the face of the vast and generous open-source community upon which your software stands, but in replacing a powerful and feature-filled OSS tool with a hobbled, half-competent closed-source alternative, you’ve done us all a huge disservice. All around, this decision was a mistake.
