Plexamp is inspired by music players of old, with a distinct tip of the hat to. Asked about how rival Channels DVR can record content from free video sources and TV Everywhere apps, Hancock said Plex wouldn’t facilitate that. Beyond Plex’s over-the-air DVR support, users are effectively on their own to bring in content from ripped DVDs, PlayOn recordings, or more illicit sources. Still, don’t expect Plex to greatly expand the kinds of content that users can bring into their servers. With shared watchlists, for instance, a group of friends would be able to see what everyone else is watching, and then access that content via a shared server. Plex’s universal guide, for instance, can already link to content from users’ media servers, and its social features will benefit users who share their server access with friends. With built-in support for nearly every codec on the planet, and augmented by poster art and metadata pulled from the web. It’s also worth noting that some broader Plex features might benefit server users as well. Plex’s media server has always been a superb way to manage a video library.

“On the server side of the house, more resources will be dedicated to Plexamp, which is because there’s no other option really out there,” Hancock said. Once your Plex Server is configured, you can view it from your mobile device or PC as well as from streaming media players like Fire TV, Apple TV, and Roku.
