Plex Comes to PS3 and PS4, Brings With It Media Streaming

Plex_PlayStation

Your Christmas wishes may have just been answered early. Plex, the company behind the streaming server software for Mac and PC is finally bringing their app to PS3 and PS4. For those unfamiliar, Plex allows you to stream movies, TV shows, pictures, and music from your home computer to a number of devices which now include the PlayStation family. Once the free app is downloaded on your computer and PlayStation, little stands in the way of you streaming. Best of all, Plex handles all codecs on the computer, requiring little support from PS3 or PS4, including MKV files.

More after the jump.

Though Plex can be enjoyed as a free download, the company also offers a few different paid tiers of service dubbed Plex Pax which bring with them Cloud Sync, Managed Accounts, and Trailers & Extras where Plex Automatically gathers high quality movie trailers, interviews, and extras for movies in your library. You can read about the full list of features on Plex’s website. Currently Plex is available to download from PSN in Europe and Asia, with US availability coming “in the near future.” It might not be DLNA but with a fantastic UI and continued support, it might just be a better solution.
