[Plex]( [Plexcerpts] Welcome to Plexcerpts – where we highlight some of the small but mighty updates we've been cooking up that you might have otherwise missed. Cut the cord without cutting the action [Cut the cord without cutting the action] With Plex Pass, you can break away from cable while still following your favorites in the Women's World Cup!

[Try free for 30 days]( Master your media universe [Master your media universe] Ready for complete control over your navigation? Tell Plex what you care about, and we'll build an experience just for you. And if you’re the type of person* who wants to tweak things to get it just the way you like, you can rearrange sources, hide sources, and more. Roku and Apple TV got in on the UI fun last month, and now we are previewing our upgraded interface to Plex Media Player and Plex Web users. At the core of the experience is the humble but mighty Sidebar. In addition to being a more efficient use of screen space than a top menu, this navigation pattern showcases all the stuff you care about, and hides the stuff you don’t. Want a test drive? Just head to the forum posts for [Plex Media Player]( and our [Plex Web app]( on how to enable the preview. *And yes, we realize that probably covers like 137% of us in the Plex community ;-) Refined iOS controls fit for a Queen [We made iOS video even more videotastic!] Remember when changing volume blocked your front-row seat to the concert? Well now we’ve added a custom volume change indicator, so you’re not distracted by full controls popping over the video when changing the volume. While we were at it, we polished the video player controls to make them more intuitive and, ahem, elegant. We moved some of the secondary buttons (like repeat and shuffle) deeper into the menu in order to free up more space for jump suits and handlebar moustaches. And we improved overall discoverability of playback modifiers in the music player. So now it’s super easy to play super slow, or wicked fast, as well as to repeat, shuffle, shorten silence, and more. [Get details here]( Slide over while we split your iPad [Slide Over while we Split your iPad] For you iPad rockers out there, we’ve now enabled split screen and slide over support for everyone. So that means you can (finally) check your calendar while watching The Decemberists videos. Or crunch some numbers while watching se7en. You see where this is going. You now wield tremendous power, iPad nation. Use it for good. [Get details here]( Audio awesomeness arrives on Apple TV [Apple TV Update] Having an A-plus audio player makes a huge difference in your listening experience, no matter how you enjoy your music. In December, we brought an enhanced audio player to our Android and iOS mobile platforms. Now we are bringing some of that ear candy to Apple TV: Hi-Quality Playback Direct play of streamed FLAC, ALAC, MP3, AAC, APE and MPC. Floating point processing pipeline. For low-bandwidth scenarios, we offer best-in-class transcodes (in our humble opinion, Opus is an amazing codec). Gapless For all you Dave Matthews, Phish and EDM fans, you can now have seamless transitions between tracks without dropping a beat. Soft Pauses Details matter. We do a gentle fade out/in when you’re pausing. Life is harsh, interruptions to your music shouldn’t be.
