Plex is a platform that lets users organize your collection of videos, music and photos comfortably accessing it from all kinds of devices: smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, media media and game consoles.
In updating the latest software an additional resource a new category called "Movies & TV" where it offers a comprehensive catalog of movies and series for free, without the need for Plex Pass, despite the ads. Now take another step and you want to add subscription and integration channels with third-party services.
Subscriptions and content rentals
Among the company's plans is to add a category to to rent and buy as a way to handle content that wouldn't fit in Plex otherwise, such as the television series and movies found on other popular platforms.
In addition, Plex It can also provide channels, an idea we saw recently in the Apple TV app, a feature also found on other platforms such as Amazon Prime Video in the United States or Roku. For example, as explained in TechCrunch, the user finds the HBO series exciting and has the opportunity to subscribe to Plex.
Plex, for non-affiliated services, they can link the contents of these to their specific requests. It's the same thing Apple does with its Apple TV application. In Spain there are no channels available (StarzPlay and Apple TV +), but if you access content through a program available on Netflix, HBO, Prime Video or similar leads in this service, it acts as a link.
However, Keith Valory, CEO of Plex, said that for the first time they will focus on their new platform for advertising and video subscriptions, and the fact that the platform has agreements with 40 partners and access to more than 40,000 titles, currently there are only about 5000 people.
