Notes: This article doesn't offer more information than an entry in List of Applications, although I think we'd need to create a new section for this kind of applications. (Discuss)

Packages available in AUR

Plex Media Server (PMS)

Installation

Install the package from AUR: plexmediaserver.

Operation

To start plex, run sudo systemctl start plexmediaserver. Use sudo systemctl enable plexmediaserver to have it start on startup. Then go to localhost:32400/manage to set up plex. If you want to add media folders in your home directory you may get a permissions issue. chmod 775 ~/ and usermod -a -G users plex to allow plex to access your files.

Plex Home Theater

Installation

It is highly recommended to install using a clean chroot (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_Clean_Chroot). Install the package from AUR: plexhometheater-git. If GNOME is installed, the dependent package bluez will conflict with GNOME's dependency of bluez4; in this case edit the PKGBUILD to depend on bluez4 instead of bluez.
