With its advanced open platform, Plex delights users with several comprehensive digital media management solutions that cover both personal and online content. Now, the company announces the availability of the latest version of Plex which enhances various platforms like PC, TV and mobile.
It is developed to improve and perk up the way people experience personal, commercial and streaming content sources over a wide array of connected devices. The solution is user-friendly and enables users to easily search, navigate, consume, store and sync digital content from various platforms and devices.
“After considering many alternative solutions, LG Electronics chose to utilize Plex’s media server platform technology as a part of its next generation NetCast enabled home entertainment products because of the breadth of available applications and content and the ease of developing new services,” commented Hojun Nam, Director of LCD TV R&D at LG Electronics. “Plex’s capabilities offer our customers’ additional methods of displaying their content on LG’s next generation TVs and that is exciting to us.”
What’s more, it does not require any extra hardware or technology knowledge, thereby ensuring that amateur users will be able to seamlessly access their most liked TV programs, movies, images and more. Besides, owners can enjoy this service with other devices easily.
“Plex was developed to provide a simple solution for navigating an increasingly complex digital media landscape. As our access to a greater variety of high-quality content continues to grow and we create more of our own content, it is clear that we need a new way to enjoy and provide a consistent experience across the expanding universe of disparate content sources,” quoted Cayce Ullman, CEO and co-founder, Plex. “Plex enables LG to more easily offer a wide variety of content sources to consumers using the NetCast services.”
Plex solution is compatible with the engaging iPhone, enabling users to access their content from anywhere as per their convenience. This surely makes content consumption and management effortless.
“We’ve been working hard to build this killer platform, and we have an amazing community who has enabled access to over one hundred online content sources to date” remarked Elan Feingold, CTO and co-founder, Plex. “It’s exciting that this content will now be available in a seamless manner on LG’s 2011 NetCast™ enabled TVs and Blu-ray players.”
Users can now snap around 200 plug-ins through Plex’s services which include iTunes, Netflix, CNN, Revision3, YouTube, and many more. In addition, Plex for OS X can now be downloaded for free with a Windows version that will be available later this year.
