The media server solution, Plex, recently issued its highly anticipated tvOS app with support for local content playback, Internet channels and more. Similar to its iOS and Mac counterparts, the official Plex app for tvOS works with a Plex Media Server to stream locally stored movies, TV shows, music and photos directly to the Apple TV for big screen viewing. Users who are Plex Pass subscribers will be given access to streaming content from Vimeo, TED Talks, Soundcloud and more.
By leveraging TVML as it works on a truly native app, Plex lets users browse their personal media library all while receiving information from the Web. This information can include Rotten Tomatoes ratings, related content, trailers and much more. The app also touts support for advanced search options allowing those with larger personal libraries to search by actor, director and genre, among others.
Furthermore, the Plex app for the Apple TV also supports Plex Companion, which is a cross-platform remote controls ystem that is built into the iOS and Android iterations of the Plex app.
Are any of you new Apple TV users excited for Plex support?
