Plex

Plex

Plex addresses a critical gap: streaming services are fleeting, while physical material requires a significant amount of hardware. There are limited options for videophiles who want to embrace digital technology but don't want to be tied to a proprietary movie store.

You can watch all of your material on your computer, or you can use an external hard drive or a media server. Plex is, in our opinion, the best media server available right now. Actually, "for our money" isn't quite correct, because the nicest features of Plex are completely free. Plex's most recent new feature, which makes it one of the finest streaming apps, is all about collaborating with the top streaming services.

Plex apps are accessible on the top streaming devices, and knowing how to use them will complement the best Netflix episodes and Hulu movies.

Plex released a beta update in April 2022 that added two new features. Discovery shows you what's popular across all of your streaming services and helps you uncover new stuff no matter what streaming service it's on. Then, no matter what device you're using, the new Watchlist function helps you keep track of what you want to watch. It also provides direct access to the services where those shows and movies are available.
