Plex arranges your videos, photos, and music so you can access and share them to any screen. Today, Plex received another update adding Plex Home support, playlist support, and a number of fixes to some other features. Plex’s update is available now on Windows Phone and Windows 8.1, and as it’s a universal app, so is the update.

New features:
- Plex Home support
