If you can not beat them join them. Plex has been under the shadow of Netflix, Disney +, Prime Video, HBO Max, among others, for years, doing everything possible to snatch a piece of the market from the streaming giants. They have not succeeded, not even offering free movies and series. But now they have activated plan B with which they want to dominate them all . We are talking about the Discover function that comes to Plex along with other features to become the only application you need when watching streaming content.
Discover allows you to find shows and movies from third-party services like Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV+, HBO Max, etc. on Plex . That way, you don’t have to jump from one app to another to find what you want to see. Hand in hand with this feature, Plex debuts a new interface that also incorporates the Watchlist section to save things that you would like to see in the future.
Plex brings together the series and movies of the best streaming platforms in one place
Now, when you start Plex after its last update, the app will ask you what streaming services you have contracted to be able to show you all the content you have access to in a single search screen . Of course, when you select the content you want to see, you will be redirected to the application or website corresponding to the chosen content to start playback.
In theory, you can add up to 150 different streaming services to Plex, including Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, HBO Max, Pluto TV, Hulu, Peacock, and Apple TV+. Plex’s Discover feature is capable of searching all of these services at once, being able to filter by categories such as actors, directors, upcoming releases, etc.
In addition, Plex has also added an option that can tell you which service a movie or series you want to watch is on . The other great feature that has come to Plex is Watchlist, which is basically a list of movies or series to watch. It’s an easy way to bookmark content you want to see in the future , and it also supports content that hasn’t been released yet.
All these new features are available in the Plex beta, but they are already being sent to the stable versions of the application. So keep the Plex app on your device up to date . Don’t have Plex yet? You can download it on all kinds of platforms, including Android, Windows, Android TV, iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, consoles and more, from the respective app stores or from the official Plex website .
