Plex Podcasts on Android TV

by tampasmix

Have someone managed how to use the new plex podcasts functionality on androidtv?

Received today the app update but I cannot see the podcast support. On my Android cellphone I'm already testing this feature.

I'm looking for a while now for a decent podcast androidtv app without the need to cast from a cellphone/tablet. Could this be the solution?

As far as my research went, it doesn't even need to have a Plex server running on your network to manage podcast.

Thanks

I usually just use the google assistant to play a podcast. "Play podcast wait wait don't tell me".

This is what I find the most annoying about Plex. They announce a feature but not all platforms are actually supported and it's because they try to be on every platform out there. Collections was announced some time last year and the official version of the Roku app still hasn't gotten the update.
