Media organiser Plex launches on Opera TV

Personal media organiser Plex is now available as an app in the Opera TV Store, a platform that is available on smart TV sets and devices by the likes of Sony, TiVo, Samsung, and Philips.

Plex’s free media server lets users share media – including photos, home movies, music and movie collections – between devices like computers, TVs and tablets. The app automatically adds movie posters, plot summaries, album covers and descriptions to users’ media libraries, and also allows users to share media with friends.

“By expanding to the Opera TV Store, we’re bringing content to life and giving users another big screen where they can experience all of their personal media,” said Plex’s chief marketing officer, Scott Hancock.

Plex already supports media streaming to a range of devices and is compatible with Mac, Windows 8, Linux, iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Xbox, many Opera-based smart TVs as well as Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast devices.
