PLEX Rich Presence 2.0.25, released by independent developer Arsene Lapostolet, is a lightweight Windows utility that bridges the gap between personal PLEX media servers and the Discord social platform. After a one-time OAuth login to a user’s PLEX account, the program continuously monitors whatever film, series, or song is being streamed through any PLEX client and automatically pushes the corresponding metadata—title, year, season/episode, or artist and track name—to Discord’s Rich Presence API. The result is a live status card visible to Discord friends and server members that shows “Watching … on PLEX” or “Listening to … on PLEX,” complete with elapsed time and the PLEX logo. Because the application operates as a unobtrusive background GUI, it does not interfere with playback quality or require browser extensions, making it popular among home-theater enthusiasts who want to share their viewing habits without manual updates. Typical use cases include co-watching parties where participants compare progress, content creators who wish to display current screenings while streaming or chatting, and family servers that want an at-a-glance overview of who is watching what. The codebase has evolved through eleven public releases, incrementally adding localization, timeout controls, and richer media-type detection while remaining under 5 MB installed. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
