“Plex for Windows Phone brings the power of Plex to your mobile device. With Plex, you can stream your music, videos and photos from your home computers running Plex Media Server and access content from a wide range of channels. Channels are available for iTunes, and for online services like YouTube, Vimeo and Revision3. There’s also a remote control feature for Plex Media Center,” the app description reads.

  • FIX: Links from Universal Volume Control didn’t always work.

  • FIX: Version detection errors talking to some Plex Media Servers on Linux.
  • FIX: Crashes clicking on hyperlink buttons when racing with obscured events.
