I can’t say that I am all that surprised that there will be a Plex app for the new Nexus Player. It is, after all, just a slick TV version of Android 5.0 Lollipop. However the Android TV toting Nexus Player will be getting wht looks like a completely new looking Plex app and I can’t say I am mad at how it looks at all.
Pretty slick looking. While you might notice that it has a totally different look than we are used to seeing and using on our phones, tablets, and other devices, there is good reason for it. Google built Android TV from the ground up. To me it looks like Plex did something similar to match the over all look and feel of the Android TV layout. That keeps the app looking more native than a separate app entirely.  Elan from Plex has been answer questions all afternoon in the comments section of their post. he has confirmed that the Voice Search function of the Nexus Player works “great” inside the app. No answers were provided on is the app would be free or not. 9to5Google was able to confirm that it would be available on launch day for the Nexus Player, which is November 3rd.
Don’t forget, the Nexus Player is Google Cast ready, so you can still just cast Plex from your device through the Nexus Player too. You don’t necessarily need a new app, but I will certainly be installing it for ease of use and beautification.
