Plex 是一个流行的流媒体播放器，同时，它能够用作一个媒体服务器软件。


事实上，它也是 [Linux 上最好的媒体服务器软件](https://itsfoss.com/best-linux-media-server/) 之一。


是的，这个媒体服务器已经支持 Linux，而且还提供了一个 [包含安装步骤的教程](https://itsfoss.com/install-plex-ubuntu/)。


### Linux 上的 Plex 桌面播放器提供 Snap 包


我知道很多人都不喜欢使用 Snap 包来安装这个桌面播放器。但现在，这个桌面播放器已在 Snap 商店中提供，你可以轻松地在任何 Linux 发行版上安装它。

幸运的是，这个桌面播放器的 [公告](https://www.plex.tv/blog/way-to-be-htpc/) 还提到他们正在开发一个 **Flatpak 包**，它应该会在近期登陆 Flathub。


这样一来，借助 Flatpak 和 Snap 软件包，Plex 就可以成为在 Linux 上流式传输和组织个人媒体收藏的绝佳选择。


除了桌面应用程序，如果你利用你的 Linux 机器连接到一个大屏幕来观看所有的内容，还有一个 Plex HTPC（有计划发布 Flatpak 软件包）。

顺便说一句，HTPC 是 PMP TV（全称为 Plex Media Player TV）模式的继承者。


他们在官网上与它的 Linux 桌面应用程序一同发布了这款产品。


使用 HTPC，这个桌面应用就可以和电视共享，并支持音频直通、刷新率切换、控制器和可配置输入映射等高级功能。

因此，如果你有一个大屏幕，并且想要连接你的系统（不管是什么桌面平台）的话，你现在可以使用 HTPC 应用程序来完成。

在 Linux 系统或联网电视上流式传输内容时，你通常会使用什么呢？你觉得 Plex 能满足你的需求吗？即然它支持 Linux 了，你会想要用它来替代当前使用的软件吗？

Plex is a popular streaming player with the ability to use as a media server software.

In fact, it is also one of the [best media server software for Linux](https://itsfoss.com/best-linux-media-server/?ref=news.itsfoss.com).

Yes, the media server was already available for Linux, and we also had a [tutorial covering the installation steps](https://itsfoss.com/install-plex-ubuntu/?ref=news.itsfoss.com).

And, now, the desktop player (app) is finally here for Linux.

**Update:** Both [Plex desktop player](https://flathub.org/apps/details/tv.plex.PlexDesktop?ref=news.itsfoss.com) and [Plex HTPC](https://flathub.org/apps/details/tv.plex.PlexHTPC?ref=news.itsfoss.com) are now available as Flatpak on Flathub.

## Plex Desktop Player on Linux as a Snap

I’m aware that many of you may not like the preference for the Snap package to install the desktop player. But, as of now, the desktop player is available in the Snap store to easily let you install it on any Linux distribution of your choice.

Fortunately, the [announcement](https://www.plex.tv/blog/way-to-be-htpc/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) for the desktop player also mentions that they have a **Flatpak package** in the works, which should be available on Flathub in the near future.

So, with a Flatpak and Snap package, Plex can be a fantastic choice to stream and organize your personal media collection on Linux.

In addition to the desktop app, Plex HTPC is also available (with a planned Flatpak) if you utilize your Linux machine connected to a big screen to watch all the content.

In case you are curious, HTPC is the successor to the PMP TV (Plex Media Player TV) mode.

They announced it along with the Linux support for the desktop app.

With HTPC, the desktop app would be shared by the TV with support for advanced features like audio pass-through, refresh rate switching, controller support, and configurable input maps.

So, if you have got a big screen, and want to connect your system (irrespective of the desktop platform), you can do it using the HTPC app.

*What do you prefer to use when streaming content on your Linux system or a connected TV? Is Plex good enough? Now that it supports Linux, do you think that you might want to switch if you use something else?*
