With the newer release of the Chromecast with Google TV hardware, it would appear that content shown in the GTV UI is derived from the connected cloud ‘Services’. And these services are embedded with Google Search result. So it would appear that Google Search is powering the new GTV UI.
e.g. Perform a movie search, and the displayed results link to the services where you can find this content.
This feature request is to have Plex integrate with Google Search as a Service, for:
- Surfacing my personal library of content as a linked Google Search result.
- Creating the precursor functionality for use as a service within GTV.
I realise that Plex is a local product. However, with our Plex Pass (account) there is already a level of cloud functionality.
This request includes the growth of Plex Pass cloud functionality so that our local content is exposed to the Google Search results.
I’m not a dev, and this feature request is purely based on end-user observations about the new search results and GTV.
Edit: Disappointing to see this closed, despite being a different request to the linked ‘duplicate’. Speaks volumes.
