I am interested if Podcasts will be available on other platforms like Plex Media Player for windows and on Plex Media Player UWP, xbox, ps4, etc… ?

It seems that Android and iOS gets all the “love” and the new features. What about Roku? Is Roku the red-headed step child? I complete rewrite of Roku is needed to look and feel as good as the iOS and Android.

We’re thrilled to announce that one of our most-requested features is now available on Plex: Podcasts! With rich metadata and tons of features, like On Deck, personalized recommendations, variable speed playback, a customizable home screen, offline mode (coming soon!), and so much more, now you can enjoy a robust podcast-listening experience on Plex. Available in beta on Android, iOS, Roku, and Web (no Plex Media Server required). Best of all, the Podcasts feature is free for all users.

This portion is the initial launch.
More to come.

We are working on getting Podcasts out to more platforms, but don’t have any dates to share as to when they will be ready.

Podcasts is launching on Roku today as well. We’re doing a staged rollout, so it will become available to Roku users throughout the day.

I’ve got great news for new. Roku is a huge platform for Plex and the Roku devs are in the middle of doing a lot of work on improving that app. Podcasts is included in the launch today for Roku, as mentioned. It could take several hours for the staged rollout to complete.

Good to hear about the Roku rewrite. I just got the iOS update and my Roku is feeling jealous. Roku interface does need some love too.
