Features:
- One central app to browse many of the great skins available for Plex.
- One easy button to update your Plex skins to their latest versions.
- No need to download a new version of the software when new skins are released; Preen checks a central database of skins.
- Manual or automatic use. Check for updates manually using the provided buttons or leave Preen running in the background and it will automatically find new skins and update you to the latest version every 24 hours.
Requirements:
- An installation of git is highly recommended, though no longer necessary. You can download and install it from here.
- Preen must be run on the same computer as Plex.
- Plex 0.9
Thanks:
- Preen is made possible because of the PlexSkinUpdater by Maverick214.
