PlexConnectApp (working title) - PlexConnect for AppleTV4 clone

Vlaves: Doesn’t work, I guess.
See https://plex.tv/legal

You may not:
- Use Plex or derivatives thereof in the name of your application
...

Too bad, but would also mean something like “complex math” would not be allowed. That I can’t believe or I don’t get it really.

I guess that rules out perplex(d). :slight_smile:

Yeah… and as far as I can tell, this is the reason “simplex” (well, at least, I think it was call such in the beginning) got renamed to “simple X”. The chars are still the same, but the word is broken up now.

But the latin word “conplexus” can’t be trademark violation.
Contains “con” from “connect”, then the hidden “plex” and even “us” so the community :slight_smile: what u think?

“StreamFlex”

“Plecksconnect” streamflex is good too, I’m thinking for app discovery purposes it needs to be kind of similar so it appears if you search for plex on the App Store?
How much does a paid developers account cost ?
More than happy to donate a little to the cause if money is the issue.

That would be awsome as I don’t have a Mac where I could test the Emulator. So A video would be awsome :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot :slight_smile:

Thanks so much :slight_smile: Looks awsome :smiley: What happens if u finish a episode from On Deck and then go back to that on Deck Section, is it displaying then the next episode? One of the most complained things with the official Plex App…

Regarding the name, what you think about simply “play connect”? And then just create a good logo where the “y” has shadows showing a “x”. The talented graphics people here can do something easely :slight_smile:

Yes i think so, didnt make attention on that because i always use continous play for shows

Maybe it’s intentional or possibly an error but when a movie library or tv show library are selected, ondeck is called “onshelf” ?

@bevanpfc This is intentional as that section is not a classical Plex OnDeck as OnDeck episodes are followed by unwatched TVShows. Similar combined shelf is shown for Movies.

I intend to make QuartzXL as a separate theme and that one will feature multiple shelves (instead of 1 mixed shelf + All Movies/TV/Artists) similar to what you have in official Plex client. Everything else will probably stay the same.

Theme selection should be possible on per user basis in the future so you can have your kids use Quartz while QuartzXL could be theme of choice for the adults or vice versa.

@pecinko your PlexConnect Logo looks awesome
how about taking this one for official PlexConnect app? @baa ?

That decision is up to @baa I can change the text on the icon easily once appropriate app name has been picked.

If @baa is good with it i can buy the first developper year account, so we can add the app to the appstore. I think that there are many users like @Valves who dont have the possibilte to upload the app over xcode to the apple tv, so they will have the possibility to download it over the appstore on apple tv.

I will also come up in the near future with my theme “Revenant” ,which will basically be like the Quartz Theme but with some of my cosmetics and some other options.

PlexConnect.app vanilla works like it has too, minor bugs but this will be fixed i think in the future. There are also some Themers who like to add their theme to the main code, so i think it shoulb be good the make the step to add “PlexConnect” to the appstore?

What do u think about it @baa?

My proposal for new app name:

reconnected

@CyberGhost84

If you think something should be added or fixed in Quartz drop me a PM and we can discuss it. I’m not against features / changes that are more or less in line with the theme.

@pecinko

Thats how want, i can add my “cosmetics” to ur theme, i am not against that :slight_smile: i have a list with features i wanna add to my theme but we can also make one together. Its up to u? I think that we could make an awesome theme for “plexconnect” :slight_smile:

+1, or maybe its possible to ask plex.inc to leave the name plexconnect?

I will also create then a new website for the app.:slight_smile:
