XPlay (Android) is the Android version of XPlay app (read more about it here: [https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/168315/xplay-webos/p1](https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/168315/xplay-webos/p1))

The app primarily designed for Android TV and Android boxes that work on Android 5 and higher. Then the app was adapted for smartphones and tablets.

If you have any thoughts and suggestions, please let me know! I will appreciate much any reasoned opinion

Hi!  
I’m polishing UI and fixing known bugs… It takes a little bit more time than I expected. But I work hard to release the app this month.

Happy New Year to all of you.  
It will be fantastic to have Xplay ported to Android.  
I just found it yesterday for Webos 3.00 and I am really satisfied. I am buying it in the next few days.  
I am interested to be able to try Xplay for Androdi if possible.  
Best regards

Hello everyone, Happy New Year!  
@DironDir I hope you can update us on what the application for andorid Tv is going for.  
Are you still working?  
Have you abandoned it?  
I am interested in being a tester, of course if it is still possible.  
Strength with the project !!!  
Excuse me for my English: v

Hi everybody!  
Sorry for long silence from my side.  
I got technical issues with playing video and it took time to figure out how to deal with it

The road map is now:

1. Own testing of playing movies\shows railers\musics, photo viewer…
2. Add some settings for customization
3. Polish the UI a little bit
4. Publish and begin testing

There is the small video below, how the app looks right now

I plan to release alfa-version of the app in February. More likely in the second half of the month

For better understanding let me know what kind of Android TV devices you use with Plex Server.  
Type - Android TV or Android TV box, Android version  
Right now I’m testing the app on Android 5 and higher. Does it make any sense to test it on lower versions?
