Finally! The most requested app by the Xbox One community is here, the Plex TV app. The app is a client for you Plex media server, which is filled with all your legal copies of movies and series that you own.
The client have every nice feature that all the Plex apps have, such as showing recent additions to your library, and remembering which episode or movie that you've watched and which to watch next etc. The better features in this app is not only that it can utilize from the Xbox power, which is considerably more than a TV, it can also use the kinect voice command. Now I never have to move from my couch when starting the next episode!
It has some more nice Xbox features such as the search function, which let you search for movies or episodes from the normal Xbox search outside of the app.
There is one downside, it's only for Plex Pass users, which costs $5 per month. It will remain that way for about 3 to 4 month before getting released to the non-pass users for a one time fee.
This app has changed many users media solutions, leaving chromecasts and appleTVs behind. The Plex feature was the only this I used my smart TV for, which have a rather slow and lousy app, so this really is a welcome change in my household.
The only thing left to solve now is whether I will watch series, play Shadow of Mordor or some Project Spark. Tough decision...
