Plex users are in luck. And it’s been lately we discovered the arrival of a very useful function To continue to enjoy streaming content through this platform. Plex welcomes the ‘Explore’ feature, a section where we’ll explore recommended content for us available on current streaming platforms.
The feature of this new function is via Discover We will have collected Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, Disney+ and all of the company’s content.being able to open any of these apps from Plex itself. In this way, the platform becomes a center where we can see all the content we like and where everything is at our fingertips. In this article, we’ll show you how to access this functionality and configure our favorite streaming services.
How to access the new Plex feature Discover
For a start, We will need to download the Plex app to our Smart TV. This app is available for the vast majority of televisions, media players and consoles on the market, as well as mobile devices. To use it, we will need to create an account via the website. If we wish, we can also access via our Google, Facebook or Apple ID profile.
After downloading and registering Plex on our Smart TV, We will need to link the TV to our account. For this, we open the application and enter this link via an external device and enter the characters that appear on the screen of our television.
From here, we already have access to Plex, A platform where we will bring together streaming and broadcast movies, series and shows., along with content that we store locally on our computer, which we can access by creating a server. In this article, we’ll focus on the entire Explore section, although we’ve warned you before that Plex is worth it if your intention is to consolidate all your content.
What can we find in Discover
Although the Explore feature is still in Beta now accessible to everyone. If it still doesn’t show up in the app, you may need to update it. If you have it, Plex will appear in the sidebar.
This section collects recommended movies, series and shows on our favorite platforms. If this is your first time on Plex, A screen will appear to select the streaming services you want to add to Plex.. To add more services, go to the settings panel and select ‘Streaming services’. Here we will have a long list to choose from. We miss popular platforms in Spain like Movistar+, ATREPlayer and others, but we also need to stress that this is an app that gives a much higher priority to popular content in the United States.
Since everything is at hand, it will be more comfortable for us to find something to see.
After adding our favorite services, We will be able to access popular games from the platforms we follow in Discover, as well as trailers for new movies and series, upcoming ones, and even titles categorized by genre or platform. In this way, it will be more comfortable for us to find something to see, as everything is more at hand.
Best of all, when searching for any content on Plex in the info section They will also show you which streaming services the movie, series or show we want to see is available on., an extremely useful tool that will save us from searching where the content we want to see is located. However, when we select the service we want to enjoy the work with, Plex will take us directly to the app of that particular streaming service, not accessing the content from Plex itself.
Here’s Plex’s idea: Be compatible with up to 150 video-on-demand services. In this way, it is possible for us to see content from Spanish platforms in the future.
