####[Plex](https://plex.tv/)

It is a media player system and software suite consisting of many player applications for 10-foot user interfaces and an associated media server that organizes personal media stored on local devices. It is available for Windows, Linux, OS X and FreeBSD.[1] Integrated Plex Channels provide users with access to a growing number of online content providers such as YouTube, Vimeo, TEDTalks, and CNN among others. Plex also provides integration for cloud services[2] including Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, Copy and Bitcasa.[3]
