Play Poster

Transform your iPad into a dedicated Plex display

Play Poster turns your iPad into a beautiful companion display for your Plex media server. Whether you have an older iPad looking for a new purpose or want to dedicate a current device, it shows full-screen poster art and information for whatever's currently playing on your Plex server.

How it works:

• Connects directly to your Plex server (local network or remote) • Displays poster art, title, and playback progress when media is playing • Shows a rotating slideshow of recently added content when idle • Full-screen immersive experience with auto-hiding controls • Updates automatically every 5 seconds

Features:

• Clean, distraction-free full-screen interface • Support for both movies and TV shows • Tap to show/hide detailed information and summaries • Automatic content refresh every hour • Works with iPadOS 15 and later

Perfect for:

• Giving older iPads a new dedicated purpose • Second screen setups in home theaters • Displaying current playback in common areas • Adding visual appeal to your entertainment space

Setup is simple:

Just enter your Plex server URL, port, and authentication token. The app validates your connection before saving, ensuring a smooth experience from the start.

Note: Requires an existing Plex Media Server and valid Plex account.
