Pop quiz, hotshot: how many streams is your Plex Media Server dishing out RIGHT NOW? What’s your most-watched movie in the past month? Is that CPU you picked up from a sketchy eBay vendor up to the task? More importantly, are you sure that’s the best poster for Speed (1994)?

Plex Dash is a tool created by obsessive Plex Media Server admins for obsessive Plex Media Server admins. Get real-time status of playbacks, DVR recordings, Sync conversions, and more. Monitor bandwidth and server resources with sexy graphs. Dig deeper and learn about top items or individual user history. Fix up artwork. Refresh libraries. Inspect nerdy media details. If it all goes south, check out the raw server logs.

MASTER YOUR MEDIAVERSE
Who’s streaming what right now? Plex Dash answers in spades. Gorgeous Now Playing tiles keep you apprised of all the latest shenanigans, across all of your servers. Put that giant iPad to great use by duct-taping it to the wall (landscape, duh); lean back, pet your hairless cat, and keep an eye on your empire.

DIVE UNDER THE HOOD
Server up to something? DVR recording? Media Optimizer doing its… optimizing? You get a chonky lightning bolt to make sure this doesn’t go unnoticed.

ONE-HANDED CURATION
Browse and change artwork from the palm of your hand while checking out at your local co-op. It’s like that other swipey app, but with less risk of disease.

Ratings and reviews

I really enjoy this app and it works really well, for the most part. The biggest issue it has is when I or someone else is watching something hosted on my server (local or remote), the Y axis on the bandwidth doesn't actually have numbers indicating the current upload speed. I'd say 98% of the time, it's blank and I have no idea what the actual bandwidth usage is. The CPU and RAM graphs don't have this issue, only bandwidth. I'd also like to be able to manage library access from the app!

3yrs later... It's been 3 years since my initial review and it still just works. Do I wish I had a few more features, sure. However, being a long time lifetime Plex pass user.. I would rather not have any more features in this app as long as it means it will continue to work the way it does and of course I never have to pay some sort of subscription. Thx Plex ✌️👍

Needs an update. It's a good foundation but important things are lacking, like being able to select / change logos, and a proper way to scroll through all your movies, rather than scrolling one at a time alphabetically. Makes it unusable if you have a large library. Add these two things and I'll be happy. Same with banners. You can do this from Pc now but not here..
