“It would break our agreements with providers,” he said. 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 is your home for free movies & TV, giving you access to 200+ Live TV Channels and 50,000+ on-demand titles from around the world, all from one beautiful. 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. It’s also worth noting that some broader Plex features might benefit server users as well.

“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.
