Plex's [busy bees](http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/25/plex-desktop-app-now-plex-home-theater-adds-airplay-and-hd-audio/) have sweetened the media server / client honeypot [again](http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/03/plex-updates-arrive-for-windows-8-app-web-client-and-media-serv/) with new updates, including a "giant, thundering" update of the [Plex/Web](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/20/plex-media-server-plexpass-web-ui-update/) UI featuring a redesigned home screen and easier navigation. It also has a new version of its next-gen transcoder for the Windows 8 and [PlexSync](http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/08/plex-cloudsync/) apps -- with iOS, Android and Plex/Web versions promised soon -- which brings better performance and improved support for subtitle burn-in, according to the outfit. Other features include a new iPad mini sync profile, better keyboard navigation, a media info popup and numerous bug fixes. You can grab it by checking your app for updates or hit the source for the full list.
