To get started you simply need to download the latest version of the Plex app. Updated the QNAP operating system, and made sure Plex server-side is up to date. Uninstalled Plex from the Firestick and re-installed. JustWatch offers similar functionality on the web and in apps. Plex works fine from other devices (iPads etc.) I’ve restarted the Firestick (twice). It is unclear if Plex has partnered with another company for metadata. Still, it is a promising feature set that in some ways mirrors tech giant Amazon, Apple and Google's approaches. It does not tell you where to find the best picture or audio quality either. The Plex watchlist does not synchronise with other streaming services so you must manually mark something as 'watched'. It appears to relate to deep linking capabilities.ĭeep linking does not work on LG and Samsung Smart TVs either, meaning that after you have found something you want to watch and click on, for example, the Netflix button you are taken to the homescreen of the Netflix app, and must type the movie title again. In FlatpanelsHD's testing some streaming services – primarily local services – are included on Plex' website but excluded in the TV apps. Plex is a tool that was tailored for Fire TV hence it has higher compatibility with the Firestick device than with other streaming devices or smartphones.
