Hey guys,

Running into a small problem, dunno if I’m doing things right.

Styled XML using CDATA and it appears fine in Plex/Web but not in android.

In android it shows all the styling asif it were text.

Below is a small snippet.

Appreciate your inputs and advice on the best way to style xml, xslt?

Thanks.

You can’t style (meta)data in any of the Plex clients. It’s a bit of a surprise to me that it works in Plex/Web, but it’s probably not meant to do that.

Yeah, figured that out after posting here. Even summary of a ObjectContainer does not seem to show in the android client, only title, no way to wrap that text either.

Plex/Web ideally would always show styling since its in a browser and has no choice but to render CDATA. Hear you loud and clear though, decided to not go that route. Thank you for taking the time to reply.
