Adds ambient lighting effects around the Plex Web video player

Features & Capabilities

Plex Ambilight adds a real-time ambient glow around the video player on Plex Web (app.plex.tv), similar to Philips Ambilight TVs.

How it works: The extension samples colors from the edges of the currently playing video and projects them as a soft, blurred glow into the surrounding dark areas of the page. The effect automatically adapts to any aspect ratio (4:3, 16:9, ultrawide) and fills the entire viewport around the video.

Settings (click the toolbar icon):

Intensity — Controls glow visibility (10%-100%)
Spread — How far the glow extends from the video edge
Blur — How soft and diffused the glow appears

All settings apply in real-time. The glow automatically dims when the video is paused.

Works with self-hosted Plex server content (local media libraries, no DRM). Requires Plex Web at app.plex.tv.

Is Plex Ambilight Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Plex Ambilight requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
