The TV app integration has surfaced in the latest TestFlight beta of the Plex app. Plex’s testing of TV app integration was first spotted by friend of the site Will Sigmon, who shared it on Twitter yesterday. The Apple TV app can surface content from apps such as Hulu and Amazon Prime Video, making it easy to track what you’re watching in a single app, then jump out to individual apps to actually watch the content. The TV app serves multiple purposes, and one of those purposes is to serve as a hub for content from other streaming applications.

The popular media hosting and streaming platform Plex has started testing Apple TV app integration.
