Podcasts and Web Shows are going away on April 15, 2022

As part of our ongoing effort to make sure we’re spending our time and energy in ways that best serve our awesome user community, we’ve made the decision to end support for Podcasts and Web Shows within Plex. We recognize this decision will impact several of you greatly, and we apologize for the inconvenience it will cause. You can continue to access these features within Plex until Friday, April 15th, 2022, at which point they will no longer be available.

The good news is that most of your favorite Web Shows (and more!) will live on in other areas of the Plex app. For the latest movie and TV trailers, and where to stream everything whether it’s on Plex or not, be sure to check out our brand new Discover section. To get your daily fix of news, tech and gaming, cooking, travel, classic films, and more (including FailArmy, of course), be sure to check out our lineup of awesome, free Live TV channels. There’s truly something for everyone!

We’re big podcast fans here at Plex, while they’ll no longer be supported in our apps, we hope you’ll continue to enjoy them in your podcatcher of choice. To make your transition a little easier, you can download your list of podcast subscriptions in OPML format by hitting the following URL, replacing the TOKEN with your own X-Plex-Token value, which can be found by following the steps here:

https://metadata.provider.plex.tv/podcasts/export?X-Plex-Token=TOKEN

Again, we’re sorry for the inconvenience, thanks for using Web Shows and Podcasts, and we hope to see you around Discover and Live TV soon!
