The Plex app is available on almost every streaming device out there – Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Google TV, many Smart TVs, gaming consoles and more (but it’s not available on Sky Glass). In the UK, their free-with-adverts library is… not very impressive – though there are certainly a few hidden gems here and there. While Plex cites “over 50,000 free, on-demand titles, movies, and shows” on its free service, it’s worth noting that it’s mostly relevant in the US, where you’re likely to find titles you’ve actually heard of. Plex’s free content service – which includes both on-demand and live channels – is similar to the like of Pluto TV, The Roku Channel and IMDb TV – content that you can stream for free, but with adverts. In recent years, Plex started to step into the streaming content game, when it launched a free on-demand streaming service that features TV programmes, movies and documentaries. Plex is a popular media management and streaming platform ( see our full Plex review), that used to focus on letting you organise your locally stored media files, as well as stream them to a multitude of other devices. Sky Glass’ Playlistīut Plex is possibly the first app that is device-agnostic and will let your universal watchlist follow you around, whichever device you’re on – your smartphone, your PC or your TV (with a supported streaming device). This isn’t the first implementation of a global streaming search engine (or a universal watchlist) – Amazon’s Fire TV devices, Roku devices, and even Sky’s own streaming TV – Glass – offer these types of features and a global search.
The new features are all built around the new “Discover” tab, which now lets you see content recommendations across most of the streaming services you’re already subscribed to (or can watch for free).įurthermore, Plex now offers a “Universal Search” function, that can let you search for titles across all the supported streaming services (including many UK-based ones, such as BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub and more).Īnd then, once you see a title (film or TV series) that you’re interested in – you can add it to Plex’s new universal watchlist, which will always remind you what you’re watching – and, just as important these days – WHERE you’re watching it – Netflix? Disney+? Or maybe BritBox?
Plex, the media streaming solution and library, is pushing out a new upgrade today, that aims to transform the service into your ultimate, all-in-one streaming discovery solution.
