We could have gotten you a card to say thank you, but figured you’d rather have a huge discount on Plex Pass instead. At 40% off, it’s our biggest discount of the year, and it’s available all week long. And if you’re seeing this and you’re already a proud Plex Pass holder, please accept a huge thank you from us too (a hug seems weird…and mostly impossible.)</p>

  92. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Plus, what’s leaving soon.</h3>
  93. <p>The holidays are just around the corner, and we’ve got a great lineup of movies and shows to keep you entertained all month long. So grab a blanket and join us couchside. Here’s what to watch on Plex in December. </p>
  94. <p><a href="https://watch.plex.tv/on-demand/list/cage-rage" target="_blank">Our Ol’ St. Nic collection</a> (featuring the totally iconic Nicolas Cage) is back in town with some new additions, including <em>Leaving Las Vegas</em> and <em>Lord of War</em>. Plus, this month also sees the arrival of <em>The Green Knight</em> and <em>Ex Machina</em>.</p>
  95. <p><a href="https://watch.plex.tv/on-demand/list/cage-rage" target="_blank"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/olstnic_hero.png" alt="" width="1816" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23137" srcset="https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/olstnic_hero.png 1816w, https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/olstnic_hero-300x154.png 300w, https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/olstnic_hero-1024x526.png 1024w, https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/olstnic_hero-768x394.png 768w, https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/olstnic_hero-1536x788.png 1536w, https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/olstnic_hero-1800x924.png 1800w, https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/olstnic_hero-1440x739.png 1440w, https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/olstnic_hero-800x411.png 800w, https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/olstnic_hero-640x328.png 640w, https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/olstnic_hero-400x205.png 400w, https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/olstnic_hero-150x77.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 1816px) 100vw, 1816px" /></a></p>
  96. <p>Next up, we’re keeping the holiday vibes going with a 24/7 stream of <em><a href="https://watch.plex.tv/live-tv/channel/its-a-wonderful-life-tv" target="_blank">It’s A Wonderful Life</a></em> on Live TV. Also not to be missed: our on-demand Merrython collection, featuring <em>Scrooge</em>, <em>Santa Claus</em>, and other free holiday classics.</p>
  97. <p>And, if you’re looking for your next TV comfort binge, we’ve got you covered. Seasons 1-4 of <em>Veronica Mars</em> and seasons 1-6 of <em>Dawson’s Creek</em> will take you straight back to the 2000s.</p>
  98. <p>On the way out at the end of the month is <em>Runaway Jury</em> (starring the late and great Gene Hackman), and neo-noir cult thriller, <em>L.A. Confidential</em>, plus A24 faves <em>First Cow</em> and <em>The Spectacular Now</em>. Watch them while you can.</p>

  863. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Hello, amazing Plex pros!!</h3>
  864. <p>While a Plex Media Server is powerful and awesome all on its own, occasionally server owners (like you) find themselves wanting more. In years past, this has been achieved through various means &#8211; one of the more popular methods was the ability to install plugins on your system. While that was popular, it was a system that became increasingly hard to support over time, and it was discontinued in 2018 (even though some users still ask about it to this day in the forums!).</p>
  865. <p>In the interim, it has possibly been the worst-kept secret that an API exists on every Plex Media Server. We say “worst-kept secret” because many people have spent a lot of time over the years documenting and attempting to keep up with the changes to this interface. Because tinkering and enhancement has always been present around the personal media and home lab spaces, we applaud all of these efforts.</p>

  867. <p>Today, we are here to take your efforts to the next level. For the first time, we are publishing official API documentation for your Plex Media Server!</p>
  868. <p>Before we dig in here, let’s start by answering the question of: why now? The answer is fairly simple. We have never been able to build out all of the requested functionality that people can dream up and drop into the Feature Suggestions section of the forums. There are amazing ideas in there that, for various reasons, we haven’t been able to explore and provide solutions for these ideas and use cases.</p>
  869. <p>Therefore, instead of us saying no to each of these worthy ideas, maybe there is someone out there (is it you?!) who wants to tackle these opportunities. We have so much love for the development community—passionate people who are curious, creative, and who love building things. We want to do everything we can to see the projects and ideas of this community come to life</p>
  870. <p>The release of the PMS API documentation is a starting point for this path that all are welcome to use. If we don’t have the solution that fits your exact use case, then this might be where you can explore finding or creating that solution.</p>
  871. <p>Which brings us to PMS. This is the exciting part. This opens the door for some exciting growth of the server. Why can’t a PMS store and stream out audiobooks? Why can’t we embrace a common schema for different media types and give you more ways to curate and stream more of the media that is important to you?</p>
  872. <p>There are already apps and ideas that leverage this concept to deliver things like an audiobook experience through a Plex Media Server. Think of how incredible these experiences could become with a bit of PMS enhancement, some API documentation, and a community that loves to build amazing things?</p>
  873. <p>Releasing the documentation on the API is a step on the path of helping this community grow. We are also taking the next step in creating a dedicated space in the Plex Forums where we can engage, answer questions, and hopefully highlight some of the awesome creations made using the API.</p>
  874. <p>While the forum stuff is fun, let’s get to why we are all here. So what can you do with the PMS API?</p>
  875. <p><img decoding="async" src="https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/plex-api-homepage.png" alt="" width="2048" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23062" srcset="https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/plex-api-homepage.png 2048w, https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/plex-api-homepage-300x169.png 300w, https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/plex-api-homepage-1024x576.png 1024w, https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/plex-api-homepage-768x432.png 768w, https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/plex-api-homepage-1536x864.png 1536w, https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/plex-api-homepage-1800x1013.png 1800w, https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/plex-api-homepage-1440x810.png 1440w, https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/plex-api-homepage-800x450.png 800w, https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/plex-api-homepage-640x360.png 640w, https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/plex-api-homepage-400x225.png 400w, https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/plex-api-homepage-150x84.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px" /></p>
  876. <p>The short answer is: A LOT! You can query all items in a library or set the artwork for an item. Server functions, like how to analyze an item, are defined. Playlists, collections, and activities all have some functions and queries. </p>
  877. <p>Using API queries, you can search, rate, or check for updates. Want to tune a channel on your DVR? Yup. There are tons of GETs, PUTs, POSTS, and more in the API documentation.</p>
  878. <p>The API also includes information on authentication, which is necessary to handle up front, as the API calls don’t work without proper authentication.</p>
  879. <p>As part of this effort, we are excited to announce a significant security enhancement to Plex.tv&#8217;s authentication system. We&#8217;re introducing JSON Web Token (JWT) authentication that provides better security and shorter token lifespans.</p>
  880. <p>This effort has been in development for a while. The new JWT enhances security through:</p>
  881. <ul>
  882. <li>Short-lived tokens: Tokens expire after 7 days</li>
  883. <li>Modern standards: JWT uses current best practices in web security to keep your data safe.</li>
  884. <li>Better clock synchronization: Built-in timestamp validation helps devices stay in sync</li>
  885. </ul>
  886. <p>The new system uses a public-key authentication model where each device uploads a public key (JWK) and then requests short-lived JWT tokens. Here&#8217;s the flow:</p>
  887. <ul>
  888. <li>Device Key Registration &#8211; your device or solution will register its public key with our auth endpoint at <a href="http://plex.tv" target="_blank">plex.tv</a></li>
  889. <li>Token Refresh Process &#8211; Once registered, your device can refresh its token every 7 days</li>
  890. <li>Exchange your JWT for a Plex Token &#8211; this will return a new JWT valid for 7 days</li>
  891. </ul>
  892. <p>And once you have a JWT token, you can use it exactly like the old tokens in the X-Plex-Token header!</p>
  893. <p>This also enhances the developer experience through:</p>
  894. <ul>
  895. <li>Familiar Interface: Same X-Plex-Token header usage</li>
  896. <li>Clear Error Codes: Specific error responses for different failure modes</li>
  897. <li>Rate Limiting: Built-in protection against abuse</li>
  898. </ul>
  899. <p>Check out the PMS API docs for lots more information, including API examples, more details on the information mentioned here, error handling, technical details, and much more. Still have questions? Feel free to post them in the Dev Community section of the forums!</p>
  900. <p>This would be a great place to end, wouldn’t it? Lots of cool new stuff.</p>
  901. <p><img decoding="async" src="https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/plex-api-dev-corner-screenshot.png" alt="" width="2048" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-23066" srcset="https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/plex-api-dev-corner-screenshot.png 2048w, https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/plex-api-dev-corner-screenshot-300x169.png 300w, https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/plex-api-dev-corner-screenshot-1024x576.png 1024w, https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/plex-api-dev-corner-screenshot-768x432.png 768w, https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/plex-api-dev-corner-screenshot-1536x864.png 1536w, https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/plex-api-dev-corner-screenshot-1800x1013.png 1800w, https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/plex-api-dev-corner-screenshot-1440x810.png 1440w, https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/plex-api-dev-corner-screenshot-800x450.png 800w, https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/plex-api-dev-corner-screenshot-640x360.png 640w, https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/plex-api-dev-corner-screenshot-400x225.png 400w, https://www.plex.tv/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/plex-api-dev-corner-screenshot-150x84.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px" /></p>
  902. <p>But… you are still here. Ok, how about just a little bit more? What’s better than a sneak peek at what is coming up next for PMS?</p>
  903. <p>We have been hard at work setting the stage for this next act of PMS. And soon this will kick off with our upcoming release of Custom Agents. This is a new and more secure method for ingesting the metadata that you want for the media on your server. This will present a new way to run your own metadata provider – similar to the ones Plex provides today – and ingest them in PMS. It will allow you to have multiple metadata sources side-by-side, prioritize them, and ensure your media gets rendered just the way you like it! </p>
  904. <p>Custom Agents (and the updated API docs for use of Custom Agents) will be launching this year and coming to a PMS near you!</p>
  905. <p>Thanks for taking a few minutes to check out the PMS API with us. The PMS API docs are available today at <a href="https://developer.plex.tv" target="_blank">https://developer.plex.tv</a>, and we hope to see you in the forums at <a href="https://forums.plex.tv/c/dev-community/113" target="_blank">https://forums.plex.tv/c/dev-community/113</a>!</p>

  1002. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>The Fellowship of the App</h3>
  1003. <p>Todayyyyy’s the day. In <a href="https://www.plex.tv/blog/the-new-plex-experience/" target="_blank">preview since last fall</a>, and starting to roll out today for our mobile app, this experience is designed to bring all the entertainment you love (and friends too) together in exciting new ways. While there wasn’t a treacherous trek across Middle-earth or a possessed ring involved, there was most certainly a dedicated team of Plexians guiding this new experience to its final destination: your screen. And we’re not gonna lie—this moment lives right up there with Aragorn’s coronation in The <em>Return of the King</em>. Yes, we went there. (If you don’t see the new update available on your mobile device right now, be patient. It will be rolling out to all users over the course of the next week.)</p>

  1007. <h3>This Experience Really Ties the Room Together</h3>
  1008. <p>Our mission at Plex is to create a global community where everyone can discover, experience, and share all of the entertainment that matters to them. This rebuilt experience is just another way we’re staying true to our mission. Here’s what you can expect when you open the updated Plex experience on mobile:</p>

This includes even more updates based on feedback we’ve received from users during the preview period.
