If you’re an ardent user of Plex and/or Kodi’s Media Center solutions, there’s some good news for you. Plex has now opened up its Plex extension for Kodi users, letting all users make use of the extension even without having to pay the Plex Pass subscription fee as was formerly required. This means you can now combine both experiences on your big screen, without having to go all-in on Plex and lose Kodi’s big screen optimizations.
With the Plex for Kodi add-on, you get the Kodi experience for your big screen, powered by Plex Media Server, and enabling you to organize and access your beautiful media on any device, anywhere, anytime.
While you gain access to most of Plex’s features with the extension, without a pass you’ll still be losing out on audio fingerprinting, parental controls for keeping your kids away from explicit music and multiple user support for maintaining multiple accounts which remain premium subscriber features at this time.
You can download Kodi’s Plex extension here.
