What's New in Plex

2026.18.0

September 16, 2026

NEW: - Player: Record the current program while watching an OTA live TV channel. FIXES: - A Live TV & DVR entry could remain in the side navigation with no way to remove it from your favorites. - A white outline would appear around star ratings. - Collections that exist in multiple libraries did not link to each other. - Episode title was not visible when sorting episode list by title. - Fixed "See all" button alignment on Cast & Crew hub. - Fixed downloads sometimes failing to save right after the app started. - Fixed links and notifications sometimes failing to open the content they pointed at, landing on Home instead. - Home took longer to appear than it needed to on startup. - Improve grid scrolling performance under some conditions. - Player: Fixed a burst of sound from a background trailer when moving on to something else just as it started playing. - Player: OTA live channel playback failed when DNS rebinding protection was enabled. - Scrolling up through older comments after leaving one snapped back to the bottom. - The "More On This Title" item could disappear from the "More Ways to Watch" menu on PMS items. - The app could crash while comments were still loading on a discussion or a list. - The app could freeze for several seconds shortly after launch on older iPads. - The app could freeze for several seconds while checking for local network access. - The app started in English instead of your device language. - The background colour behind artwork now settles as quickly as the artwork itself, instead of drifting in slowly after it. - The cast device list could show up empty when a Plex device on the account had no reachable connections. - The estimated download size only included the first part of a multi-part file. - The server dashboard could crash when a server had no bandwidth or resource statistics to report.

User reviews

Bad quality buggy

Bad quality tv buggy slow limited features generally very underwhelming

Unstable without a watch pass

Iโ€™m a new user to Plex however I was under the clear understanding that Plex could be used on all your devices at home without having to pay extra for it however most time I try to play through Plex on my TV or stream from a device to a TV I am blocked by a paywall that insists that I pay for a Watch pass to play my own films on my TV. I donโ€™t know if this is a Bug or intentional however this is annoying and misleading. what could be a good user experience foiled by yet another Payroll.
