The Plex for Kodi add-on is a Plex Pass only preview, and you can find it in the new Plex for Kodi forums here. Seriously: once you’re up and running, you’ll never know it’s not Plex! You get the same Plex server discovery, user switching, gorgeous library browsing, and media playback experience you know and love, plus a few (okay, a few dozen) more settings to tweak to your heart’s content. We’ve been working closely with some of the best Kodi add-on developers in the world to create an awesome, fully-immersive Plex experience within Kodi. Plex Media Player is now also 100% free, something that was previously only available to Plex Pass subscribers. A new full-screen button in the toolbar allows the app to jump back into the previously default TV UI for comfortable viewing. When the Media Player app is in a windowed state, users can now navigate and control the UI using the keyboard and mouse. Starting off, Plex has brought a “desktop mode” to the popular Media Player allowing users to queue up and control their media all within the same app.
The latter announcement might pique the interest of those building custom home theater configurations that still want the freedom of control offered by Kodi. The team behind the media management service Plex, has announced that their Plex Media Player app has now gone free for all users alongside the official first release of Plex for Kodi.
