► Playback Remote with Feedback

***Not available for Plex HomeTheatre Client! ***
Plex Touch’s remote control has a full featured feedback channel that shows you exactly what’s going on. Go to every part of a video by sliding to its position. Choose your favorite audio and subtitle track during playback. No more touching 3 times right, then OK and 4 times up with a touchscreen that wont let you feel where buttons are.

► Playback on iPhone

Playback everything on your iPhone that Plex Transcoding API can handle (which is is a lot!) Plex Touch keeps track of the position so you can easily stop playback on your TV and continue on you iPhone, or vice versa.

► Bookmarks

Plex Touch has the unique feature of Bookmarks. Bookmarks work with every list you’re in, from simple lists such as “Recently added” and “Movies with Christian Bale” to more complex lists like “All unwatched episodes of season 5 of Breaking Bad”. Bookmarks are shown on Plex Touch’s home screen, which is accessible from everywhere with a single touch on the home icon.

► Navigation

Another unique feature of Plex Touch is its complex and super-easy way of navigating through your media collection. Plex Touch supports the typical filters like “On Deck”, “Recently Viewed”, etc. but it goes even further. It displays the cast of a movie and, from there, you can see which movies you have from that director or actor.

► Collection-Editor

Collections are another unique feature of Plex Touch. Add and delete them as you want. They are easy to access and convenient to set up. Some users use them to “normalize” the messy genres from the movie scanner. Others just use it to order stuff like “007″ or “My Favorites”.

► Multiple Servers and multiple Clients

Is your home full of Plex Servers and Clients? No problem with Plex Touch. Get everything fully under control with the greatest of ease. Plex Touch shows what’s playing all over your network with one mini-remote for every client that has an active playback.

► Day and Night Themes

Switch between Day- and Night-Theme with a single touch on the home screen to relax your eyes.

► Random Access

Another simple but powerful feature: Plex Touch lets you shuffle every list your in, helping you to find something when you can’t decide what to watch.

► Requires Plex/Nine

Plex Touch of course requires a Plex Media Server and works in your local network only.
