Plex für Android und iOS: Update bringt Podcast-Download und mehr

Plex gehört zu den beliebtesten Streaming-Lösungen da draußen und ist ziemlich emsig, wenn es um die Aktualisierung seiner Softwarelösungen geht. Seit kurzem sucht man unter anderem Tester, die die Software auf QNAP- und Synology-NAS mit ARMv8/Realtek-Prozessor ausprobieren. Auch die mobilen Apps für Android und iOS haben nun wieder ein Update erhalten.

Dieses bringt unter anderem endlich die Funktion mit, Podcasts herunterzuladen und somit offline verfügbar zu machen. Weiterhin könnt ihr eure Podcast-Abos auch von anderen Apps per OMPL-Import in Plex integrieren und vieles mehr. Details zu den Releases findet ihr in den dazugehörigen Changelogs.

Die neuen Versionen der Apps stehen euch ab sofort im App Store und Play Store zur Verfügung.

Changelog laut App Store:

NEW:
– Now you can download podcasts, including immediate download of episodes or set up automatic download for shows.
– Downloaded podcasts can be viewed and played when no internet connection is available or when switched to offline mode.
– You can manually delete podcasts shows and episodes just like synced content via the Downloads and Sync area.
– Import your current podcasts subscriptions from other apps via the OPML import feature.
