Plex for Kodi now available to all

This one quietly slipped out, but previously you needed to be a Plex Pass subscriber in order to use the official Kodi add-on. That requirement has now been removed, albeit with some features not available if you don't have a subscription.

With the Plex for Kodi add-on, you get the Kodi experience for your big screen, powered by Plex Media Server, and enabling you to organize and access your beautiful media on any device, anywhere, anytime.

Plex has its own media player app designed for TVs, but there's no denying that Kodi is the big screen king. The Kodi add-on from the Plex team gives you the best of both worlds, and without needing to switch between Kodi and the Plex app on your box.
