Watching movies and TV shows at home have drastically increased especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. Today there are a number of streaming devices like Roku, Google’s Chromecast, firestick, Apple TV and to name a few. These devices help you to stream your favorite movies and shows easily on your television.
Well, if you have bought a television in the past couple of years, you’ll likely be able to stream all your shows directly from your TV’s remote. Most of the TVs these days come with services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime, etc already installed. Well, entertainment options aren’t limited to these services. If you want more from your TV you can install software like Kodi and Plex.
If you own a Samsung TV that you have bought after 2016, you are lucky. You can easily install Plex on your Samsung Tizen and stream all your favorite shows and movies. Recently Plex has released a new update with version number 5.8.2 for Samsung Samsung TVs (Tizen 2.4, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 5.5). Below are all the new features and bug fixes.
