Guide

You'll need a console running Atmosphère CFW and the homebrew menu.

1. Download pleNx.nro from the latest release and copy it to sdmc:/switch/.
2. Launch pleNx from the homebrew menu.
3. On first launch in applet mode, pleNx offers to install a HOME menu tile: press the button, confirm, and the app relaunches as a regular title with full memory. Alternatively, hold R while launching any game (title takeover).
4. Sign in with your Plex account: enter the 4-character code shown on screen at plex.tv/link, then pick your server and your Plex Home profile.

Every release ships builds for all supported platforms, with fresh nightly artifacts on nightly.link.

macOS

DMG for Intel and Apple Silicon, macOS 10.15+. If Gatekeeper refuses to open the app, clear the quarantine attribute:

sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/pleNx.app

Windows

Portable 7z archives for x64, x86 and ARM64 — Windows 7 or later with DirectX 11.1.

Linux

Android

APKs for arm64-v8a and armeabi-v7a.

PS4 & PS Vita

• Nintendo Switch — Atmosphère CFW, full-memory mode for playback
• Windows — Windows 7 or later, DirectX 11.1 support
• macOS — 10.15 or later, Intel or Apple Silicon
• Linux — Flatpak (x86_64 / arm64v8), OpenGL 3 support

MPV decodes H.264, H.265, VP8, VP9 and AV1 video; Opus, FLAC, MP3, AAC, AC-3, E-AC-3, TrueHD and DTS audio; and SRT, VTT, SSA/ASS and DVDSUB subtitles. Anything your hardware can't direct-play, your Plex server transcodes.

Subtitles don't show up on Switch?

Drop any TrueType font at sdmc:/switch/pleNx/subfont.ttf — it will be used to render text subtitles.

macOS won't open the app?

Gatekeeper quarantines unsigned apps downloaded from the internet. Clear the attribute:

sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/pleNx.app

How do I enable an external USB drive on Switch?

Set ums in config.json (in sdmc:/switch/pleNx/):

{
  "setting": {
    "ums": true
  }
}

Is pleNx affiliated with Plex?

No. pleNx is an independent, open-source, third-party client — not affiliated with or endorsed by Plex, Inc. It talks to your Plex Media Server with your own account.

Where do I report a bug?

On the GitHub issue tracker — describe what you did, what happened, and your console model and Atmosphère version. On desktop, launching the app with -d -o plenx.log writes a debug log you can attach.
