Software Update: Plex Media Server 0.9.8.10

With version number 0.9.8.10, a new public version of Plex Media Server has been released. This program is an open source media server for Linux, FreeBSD, OS X, Windows and various NAS devices. It can serve content to clients on the same machine, within the local network or even over the internet. Client software is available for the aforementioned operating systems, but also for iOS, Android, Windows Phone 7, Google TV and some TVs from LG and Samsung. The program includes its own App Store, where plug-ins can be exchanged. For example, these plug-ins allow instant viewing of content from Hulu, Netflix, and CNN Video. In addition, there is PlexPass, a paid service that gives early access to new versions, in addition to discounts on ‘Premium features’. Furthermore, there is now also a web client. The release notes for this release can be found below.

Fixes:

• In some cases (transient network glitches) the server could re-transcode all synced content, which could lead to iOS not being able to play it.
• An issue where the new fast scans could miss files when “multi-episode” files were present.
• An issue where the new fast scan wouldn’t skip a directory it should.
• Crashes when streaming RTMP content.
