Plex Media Server 1.43.2 adds Atmos and codec filters
Plex has released Plex Media Server version 1.43.2.10687 to all users, following its beta availability for Plex Pass users. This update introduces new filter capabilities for Atmos and video/audio/subtitle codecs, enhanced metadata support for RottenTomatoes ratings and Dolby Atmos detection, and includes fixes for several issues across hubs, metadata parsing, network TLS verification, and transcoding. Notably, it also generates unsigned QNAP packages for NAS devices, addressing previous availability issues.
Key Takeaways
- Plex released Media Server 1.43.2.10687 to everyone after a Plex Pass beta period.
- New filters cover Atmos, audio layout, and video, audio, and subtitle codecs.
- The NFO parser now supports RottenTomatoes audience and average ratings, plus ‘set’ tags for collections.
- Plex added Dolby Atmos detection and a server management screen for Shield.
- QNAP packages are now generated unsigned, with install instructions linked in the forum post.
Why It Matters
This update gives Plex users finer-grained library filtering and richer metadata parsing, which should make large libraries easier to sort and surface. It also tightens platform support with unsigned QNAP packages and a Shield server management screen, while the network fix enforces TLS certificate verification on all retries, addressing CVE-2026-42619. The clearest signal to watch is whether QNAP users can install 1.43.2.10687 cleanly using the unsigned-package instructions, since Plex explicitly flags those builds as unsigned.
