Eventually, Plex's other clients will be included too. The new design will appear today on Apple TV and Roku clients, with Android TV coming shortly. Dubbed "Modern," it leverages the artwork for a selected movie or TV show to create a more immersive look, instead of the typical poster-on-a-black-background design that has defined the Plex experience for years. Plex, the company that gives folks a way to easily manage and access their personal library of movies, TV shows, music, and photos, is rolling out a new look for its on-screen interface.

The exception to this remains the Nvidia Shield TV, an Android TV set-top box that can still serve both functions. The new desktop app has been stripped of this user interface, making it hard - if not impossible - to use a single device as both a Plex Media Server and a Plex client.
