Add subtitles to video plex2/17/2024 ![]() That process has been underway for some time. Hancock told us that Plex is still focused on its core experience of making it easier to access and organize personal media, but that future development efforts will be concentrated on augmenting these collections with other sources. Digital Trends recently spoke with Plex vice president of marketing, Scott Hancock, about the company's plans, which go well beyond making it easy to access local or network media files. ![]() As it looks for growth and revenue opportunities, though, there's a chance that could change. Plex has been able to get its app on WebOS, tvOS, Android, iOS, Roku, and dozens of other platforms largely because, as a personal media server client, it takes an agnostic approach to third-party content. Only Netflix and YouTube enjoy a larger footprint when it comes to hardware providers, and that's saying a lot. Plex has secured itself an enviable position as one of the most supported apps on smart TVs and streaming boxes. Plex launches its free, ad-supported streaming service, no Plex server needed Plex launches more than 80 free, ad-supported livestreaming TV channels Plex adds a new artwork-centric option to its visual experience Plex now lets you skip the credits on movies and TV shows Plex is now a social media platform for movie and TV fans Whether this would be in the core Plex Media Player, its Plexamp stand-alone music player, or both remains to be seen. Some upgrades in the works are better offline syncing, better playback on Android devices, and “some amazing music player improvements in the works,” which the blog post hints could include gapless playback. This comes on the tail of the announcement that Plex is killing off Plex Cloud, which launched in 2016, so it could seem like Plex is on a roll when it comes to chopping off features, but the company says this is to make way for more improvements. Watch Later, which let you bookmark videos on the web to watch later, is one, while the other, Cloud Sync, is so unpopular that Plex jokes in the blog post that if you send them a picture of yourself using Cloud Sync and holding today’s newspaper, they’ll buy you a beer. The other two removals are less likely to bother most users. The one most likely to upset Plex users is the removal of plugins, which let you add functionality to Plex, but the vast majority of plugins have had their functionality replaced by stand-alone apps for your smart TV or the streaming box of your choosing. Hispanic Heritage Month on Plex: More Spanish-language channels debuting ![]() Plex requires password resets after confirmed breach of personal data Now, you don’t even have to get off the couch, as Plex can now automatically fetch subtitles for you.Īstell&Kern gives its new entry-level digital audio player some premium features In the past, unless subtitles were encoded within the video file itself, you’d need to go find a file with subtitles and move it into the right location on the PC running Plex Media Server. We’ll start with the good news: if you frequently watch content that is in a language other than your main language, you’ll be glad to know that subtitles just got a major upgrade in Plex. Sometimes this means additions, like enhanced subtitle support, which Plex announced in a blog post on Tuesday, September 25, and sometimes it means removing features not many people use in order to focus on more popular features. Plex might have started as a simple media server that let you play video files located on your PC on your streaming box or game console, but the service has been constantly adding features over the years.
