Plex Media Server 1.43.0.10467 is now available to Plex Pass users in the Beta update channel.
NOTE: While the transcoder update included in this release does not include any new features it has been refreshed from the ground up. Even though this has undergone significant testing internally as well as in a forum preview build we realize there still may be some issues to work out so this build will stay in beta for longer than usual to give us time to find and address any lingering bugs.
ANOTHER NOTE: There has been a significant overhaul of the build and deploy systems. We have tested as best we could but some issues may still occur (problems installing, missing auto update, ect). If you encounter any issues please let us know.
YET ANOTHER NOTE: QNAP builds are unavailable at this time. There is no estimate of when this will be resolved, however we will publish a dedicated release when they become available.
