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.
Easy to use to quickly check on issues without needing to access a PC first. Very helpful. An added option to check for server updates would be helpful
Provides info that should be accessible inside the P,ex app

Handy app for doing a deeper dive into the statistical info and nerdy bit rate/ codec info. The app is a great companion piece for anyone who uses Plex in any meaningful way, I always get the feeling though that all these features should be more accessible in the main Plex / PlexAmp apps. That said hopefully the next step in the Plex ecosystem is for a more expansive Roon style music experience- integration with more 3rd party streaming apps so all your media content is funnelled through a single content rich interface.
Great Monitoring App

This is great, something I miss from Varys is the extra info when selecting a now playing stream, currently you show only the play history which can look a little bare if there is none. I’d wish that this screen showed more info about the stream with the play history below. Also could we get the total plays charts from Plex integrated too? Fantastic app anyway 👍🏼
Great tool to have

Use it all the time to monitor how Plex is going as well as checking what’s happening before I do any server upgrades. Easier than logging onto the computer to only find users accessing the Plex.
