When you connect Plex with the Apple TV app, you’ll see the following explanation:
What this means is that content that you have in Plex will now appear in the TV app and in places like your Up Next queue. With an update to the Plex app on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV app this week, Plex has fully rolled out support for integration between the free Plex ad-supported video on demand library and Siri. It’s the latter component of Plex that is now available in the TV app and via Siri. Plex has also been expanding and debuted its own streaming service in 2019, offering users a variety of free TV shows and movies. First and foremost, the service allows users to host their own libraries of TV shows and movies, and access those libraries remotely. Here’s what that means.įor those unfamiliar, there are two key components to Plex.
Plex has now confirmed to 9to5Mac that it’s now rolling out integration between the TV app and its free on-demand video streaming service. It's one of the main ways that people use Plex, so it's a shame that this content will not work with the Apple TV app yet.Last month, Plex began beta testing integration with Apple’s TV app, but some of the specifics were unclear. While it is free, many Plex users access either their own personal or friend's servers to access additional content. However, the integration only applies to the ad-supported content on the Plex app. From there, Plex content will be visible in Up Next right alongside all other data sources, letting you keep tabs on the Plex content you're viewing. When you watch one of Plex's ad-supported video on demand offerings, which includes both TV shows and movies, you'll be prompted to allow Plex to share what you've watched with the TV app. This has also added Siri support, allowing users to search for Plex's library of ad-supported content with the voice assistant. If you begin to play one of these pieces of content, the app will ask you to connect it to the Apple TV app so you can track what you are watching. As reported by MacRumors, the feature works with Plex's ad-supported video on demand content.
