We present, the Plex Media Server 'Universal' build for macOS. The existing Mac server versions run just fine under Rosetta2, but native is always better, right? Well, here it is!!!

At the current time, the release version of the Plex Media Server runs using Rosetta 2.

The new version of the Plex Media Server uses the 'Universal' build for Macs, which means it is compatible with Apple silicon and Intel Macs. Popular media platform Plex today announced the launch of a beta version of the Plex Media Server that has native Apple silicon support.
