Plex has announced a new’discover’ feature that aggregates and recommends content from various streaming services and a universal watchlist that gathers everything you want to watch all in one place.
Plex has been working for several years to slide into position as a one-stop-shop for streaming. The new menu may finally be able to pull off.
Plex adds a section to the info page for movies and TV shows. The app is available on devices like the Apple TV, fire stick, Roku, PlayStation and smart TVs.
The list of streaming services Plex supports with these features is immense. It includes all the big names, like Disney plus, Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO Max, and HBO Max.
Plex’s support page says that’not all platforms allow sending the user to the corresponding streaming app’. I could open links to Netflix, Hulu, and Apple TV plus but got an error trying to open links for HBO Max and YouTube.
The Apple TV has a built-in universal search and kind of lets you make a watchlist. Most of the features Plex is adding here are n’t unique to it.
