Plex annonce the launch of its own streaming platform which takes its place in the now dense traffic of video on demand services. Unlike Netlix and the others, this service is free, but broadcasts advertising in return. No need to download another app. Thousands of movies, series, documentaries and TV shows can be found directly in a new section of Plex on Android, iOS, Windows and on the web.
Plex is no longer content to be a benchmark, powerful and versatile media center like Kodi. The editors of the application have great ambitions in the field of multimedia entertainment. A new step has just been taken. Plex becomes a streaming platform which plays on the same ground as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney TV + or Apple TV +. It starts to do a lot you would say but in this case there is nothing to complain about since the service is completely free.
Plex: no monthly subscription for its streaming service, but advertising
So that's one of the peculiarities of Plex's new streaming service. Its free access is obtained at the cost of broadcasting advertisements within the application which now has two main sections: one with your own collection of music, films, series, etc. and another which gives on a VOD platform with "thousands of free movies, television shows, extreme sports movies, musical documentaries, Bollywood musicals…" writes Plex in the press release published on its site.
The advertisement will only appear on the streaming platform and not in your personal video library. Plex explains how to use your existing collections to feed its recommendation system. Your personal data will therefore be used to offer you relevant content according to your tastes. But to allay any concerns about spying and ceding your data, the company insists that "neither Plex, nor any of our partners will have access to the content or metadata that our users have in their collections. personal ”.
Streaming is done in Full HD (1080p) quality. It is accessible with the Plex application on Android, iOS, Windows, but also on the web. The platform syncs your progress across devices so you can switch between them and pick up where you left off. And finally, the catalog is bound to evolve. New well-known ones will be added to it on a regular basis.
