Hello, everyone!
So, is anyone aware of the Android App - "Showbox"?
A quick summary would be, Free "Netflix". I'm not sure who created the app, maintains the app or updates the database. But I've decided to port it to Plex.
Now to go through with the actual channel development. I also have a fairly good grasp of Python, so I think this should be pretty simple. This is my first Plex app, so this will be fun regardless.
So is anyone interested or am I doing this purely for myself? Hehe.
Should I rebrand this? I'm most likely going to create a nicer, minimal logo anywho. - Plexbox maybe?
Any suggestions?
I'll keep you posted on dev.
I apologize to everyone but after talks with the original developer(s) of Moviebox/Showbox, I have decided to respect their wishes and not pursue development on this project. They are a hardworking team who would not like their database being used or their code being exploited. Enjoy their application using iPhone and Android for now. Maybe they'll extend their platforms in the future. (:
Showbox is the most-used app on my Android box; a Plex channel would be excellent.
Tell me when you do. I would love to have a Plex app of this. Also before Show Box ever came around; Movie Box for Apple products was developed and I believe the developers of that made Show Box. Here is their Twitter page: https://twitter.com/moviebox_app
Getting in contact and seeing if they would let you do this or even help would be great
It's great to hear that people are interested!

I've sent them a message on twitter so we can begin to talk about this. I'm not sure how frequent they check their twitter. It's last update was February.
I would love to have Showbox on either plex or playon. Do keep us posted on your progress.
