If there will be an app, I’d also be curious about the timeframe for its release. Now, while I do use multiple services for my media, my primary source is my Plex server, and I’m wondering if we can expect there to be an official Plex integration/app for the Google TV, or if we will just have to rely on casting our media, as with the previous generations of Chromecast devices. One of the selling points for that device is the unified interface for browsing movies and TV shows from multiple different services in once place. I’ve been a Plex user for a while, and I really like how there are players for so many platforms! However, I’ve recently purchased one of Google’s newly revealed Chromecast with Google TVs.

Google have plans to make this the default launcher for all Android TV boxes eventually, so Plex…please, please start working on it if you didn’t already. Plex no longer shows up in any of these rows. 'here are all your “Crime TV” shows that you like. there is no Plex, or Netflix row) instead it mixes material from several sources into categories, e.g.

The recommendations rows are completely gone, and there is a supposedly much more intelligent detail on the main “For you” screen, which no longer shows what is available by app category (i.e. Google has completely re-worked the search for this platform (there is a whole new search app to download if you side-load it), and none of the Plex shows show up in any searches Plex no longer shows up in any of the new searches. Yes, Ples, please, you need to update Plex functionality to deal with this new interface. You can side-load the new Google TV launcher on an old android TV box I have it on my Tivo Stream 4k.
