And does it show you "pick up where you left off" across all apps?? That's what I need most. So not stuff I have to search for but it shows me what I'm watching.

Not across all services. I think it's down to the data shared by those services - something something AP something I think? But mine just offered things from three services.

We use Plex for our own media libraries - ie. files we have on a hard drive, stuff we made or ripped from discs - but if it integrates with the streaming services I'd love to know all about it. Could be useful!

What we want, I think, is the BBC and Netflix to play along and spit that data out, rather than keep it in an egg inside a duck, which is in turn inside a hare, in a chest, buried on a faraway island surrounded by walls of flame.

Or as fans of the Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy might say 'in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign outside the door saying "Beware of the Leopard."'
