Please note that future versions of plex.tv/web and the app in the Chrome web store will start enforcing a minimum server version requirement. Initially, this means that if your Plex Media Server is below 0.9.12.0 and you use either plex.tv/web or the app in the Chrome web store to access that server, you will need to update your server to meet the requirement. The web app that comes bundled with Plex Media Server can always be used to access and manage an out of date server indefinitely. This minimum server version will likely be increasing over time.
