New Plex Channel Update Makes it Easy to Access Your Photos, Videos and Music on the Big Screen

Today is a great day for Roku customers who have a growing collection of movies, music, videos, and photos. Our friends over at Plex recently released an update to the Plex channel on the Roku platform, featuring a sleek new look and a ton of great new features. And best of all, the channel is available for free to Roku customers. The updated Plex channel allows you to tap into all of Plex’s great streaming features with absolute ease, making it simple to curate and access your stored audio, video, and photos on the big screen using your Roku player or Roku TV model.

If you have yet to try Plex, here are just a handful of reasons you may want to give it a shot:

1. It’s a comprehensive audio and video solution: Plex seamlessly pulls all of your owned audio and video libraries into a single, organized window for easy playback on your Roku player or Roku TV model. And if you’re not in front of the TV, you can even access your files on your mobile phone, tablet, and other devices.

2. Simple organization and information: Plex organizes your entire collection of videos and music for easy streaming, and it automatically matches your library with rich metadata and other related content. Imagine pairing music videos with your song collection, adding album artwork and artist info, and even viewing a list of when/where your favorite bands are touring. For movies, this organization means adding details such as cast and crew, artwork, trailers, plot summaries, and behind-the-scenes videos. Plex keeps all of this information organized and in one entertainment hub for you to access.

3. Play anywhere, anytime – Your entire collection of music, TV shows, and videos are automatically accessible and available to play anytime you want using your Roku device, regardless of where you have the files stored.

4. Easily share all your media – Plex allows you to share your media with friends and family and get access to their libraries to discover and enjoy even more content. Exchange vacation videos, or see what tunes your friends are streaming from your collection.

5. The Plex channel is free! You’ve already invested in your collection of movies and music, and your Roku player or Roku TV model is already sitting in the living room and other rooms in the house. Plex does the heavy lifting so that all of your media is accessible at no cost to you on all of your devices—that’s right, no monthly fee or rental charges. Please note that the Plex Media Server is free, though some supporting apps and Plex Pass do have a cost.
