Today Plex announced that they are updating their Plex app on the Apple TV and iOS to add HDR support and more. Plex is also enabling Face/ToughID to log into Plex on your Apple iPhone or iPad.

Here are the updates you will find added today.

Apple TV and iOS updates 

  • The Apple TV enhanced video player now supports HDR video playback. Plex Pass subscribers can get early access to HDR – meaning sharper output, better performance, and improved subtitle support – by going to Settings → Advanced menu
  • Now iOS users with PIN-protected accounts can log in instantly to Plex by enabling Face/Touch ID

TIDAL updates 

  • Plex iOS and web app users can now listen to 30-second clips from the entire 60-million track TIDAL library, enabling them to search, sample, and explore artists’ catalogs of songs even without a TIDAL account
  • Artist TV (the music video mix enabled by your TIDAL subscription) comes to the web and big screen apps, including Smart TVs, PS4,  and Plex Media Player
