The Plex team has pushed out an update to their app today for both Android and Android TV. The main topic is a more Material Design makeover to the UI of the app with a top-to-bottom redesign.

Plex Material Design

While I am all for an update that makes an app look better, I am more about the functionality of an app. With the update we now have multi-part video play back ability. I know some of you have movies that are split into two different files, so that is a good thing. As for Android TV, the big change comes with the added ability to search channels with rich sorting and filtering capabilities.

For those of us that cast, new Chromecast options let us change the quality, select the audio and subtitles during playback. Saves us from having to stop the show and alter settings and resume again.

Users might see some issues they might have been having gone as well since the update carries a number of unlisted bug fixes too. The official update blog post also states that the changes are heading to Amazon soon. For those with the app on Android, hit the link below to get straight to the app in the Play Store and snag the update.
