Plex is no longer content to be a reference, powerful and versatile Media Center like Kodi. The publishers of the app have big ambitions in multimedia entertainment. A new step has just been taken. Plex is becoming a streaming platform It plays in the same place as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney TV+ and even Apple TV+. It’s starting to have a lot to say, but in this case there’s nothing to complain about as the service is completely free.
Plex: no monthly subscription for streaming service, but ads
This is one of the special features of Plex’s new streaming service. Its freedom is achieved at the expense of the dissemination of advertisements within the app, which now has two large sections: one is your own collection of music, movies, series, etc. and another one on VOD platform with “thousands of free movies, TV shows, extreme sports movies, music documentaries, Bollywood musicals…” writes Plex in a press release posted on his site.
The ad will only show on the streaming platform, not on your personal video library. Plex explains using your existing collections to feed the recommendation system. Your personal data will therefore be used to provide you with content tailored to your taste. However, to remove any concerns about spying and giving your data to anyone else, the company insists” Neither Plex nor any of our partners have access to content or metadata that our users have in their personal collections. “.
The stream is in Full HD (1080p) quality. Accessible via the Plex app on Android, iOS, Windows, as well as on the web. The platform syncs your progress across all devices so you can switch between them and pick up where you left off. And finally, the catalog is set to evolve. New knowns will be added regularly.
