Plex Media Server 1.43.0.10162 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.

NEW:

  • (Transcoder) Transcoder was updated to the ffmpeg 6.1 baseline. (PM-3882)
