The folks at Plex have announced a new Plex for iOS 2.4 over the weekend, and as usual it's loaded chock full of the good stuff users want in a media streaming app -- and a helping handful of juicy bug fixes as well.
At the top of this list are new social features. MyPlex users can now add friends to their account, then recommend media to each other or even post directly to your Facebook timeline. Simply head to your Account settings and jump into the new Friends tab to send invites -- and don't forget to link your MyPlex account with Facebook while you're at it.
The other new features may be smaller but are no less welcome, including the ability to clear cached images, launch the app via plexapp:// URL and even delete media right from within the app, assuming you're using Plex Media Server 0.9.6.1 or later.
Automatic video quality adjustment has now been restored to the app as well, which allows the app to select the most appropriate video quality for the currently available bandwidth -- up to a maximum rate which the user defines.
Plex for iOS 2.4 is now available from the App Store for $4.99 and the update is free for existing users; the universal app is compatible with all devices running iOS 4.1 or later.
