Hi,

Thank you for your support, I have a question.  
I have Plex Pass that helps to download subtitles automatically or to download it from Plex player. kindly check this link: [https://support.plex.tv/articles/subtitle-search/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/subtitle-search/)

My question , how can I use the same function on Xplay?

Also, for any reason my device is formatted, how can I download xplay again from google play without paying money again?

Thank you

I’ve made small changes for shows. When an episode is opened from the home screen the episode is selected  
This version will be available in 20-30 minutes on GP.

This function is not realised yet in XPlay.  
Thank you for pointing. I guess it will be added in future releases.

Sorry but I don’t know how. It’s all on GP.  
I think it will be better to ask from Google Play support.  
I guess it depends on your account not a device.

Hi @DironDir, thank you for adding the resume feature.

But there is a small problem with it though, when you click on the tv show on the home screen it goes to the tv show and shows blank screen except the tv show image on the left and the top info no episodes just blank.

If I come back out and go in again it shows everything but you can’t resume, if I do this one more time the I can resume the episode from the top and everything is fine.

This only happens when I boot up my shield TV for the first time, after sleep mode or in and out of other apps all working ok.

How do you store the content? On the same device or somewhere else?

I turned off my Shield. Than turned it on and tried to open an episode from the home screen.  
Everything works fine.  
So I have only one guessing now - that it’s something like an timeout error during getting the content from the Plex server because the server is not ready.  
But not sure.

Hi,

This features is not fully realised yet.  
But in the movie card you can go down and see other elements from a collection in the Related movies section.  
For example:  
I have a collection “Test collection”

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/3/7/373983817356e72146df7b639ad9a48d2c67a990.jpeg)

and when you open a movie from collection you can see other elements in the bottom section.

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/5/3/53adf1812220f40c17706b59342e281dc92d23f4.jpeg)

Now I think how to expand the functionality for working with collections.  
It would be great to hear your opinion - what you need for comfort working with XPlay.

Yes, I think it would be great if we could have a movie collection where it would groups box sets together see below.

I continue doing tests as I said and since the last update I have a problem that I did not have before, now when I play, I have no sound unless I put the option to transcode, previously I reproduced perfectly the sound also with the Directplay option, For the rest more and more perfect, thank you very much, but I can tell you what is due and if you can solve it, a greeting.

Related Movies is helpful but its kinda half measured. Maybe implement a filter feature to access Movies that I have in the collection

If that too much then using sorting section in just as suitable to include collections and then bring up a subsection to choose which collection i want to explore

To check it I need to know what you try to play.  
Can you give me a link to download the movie?

About collections.  
I see that this feature is used by many people.  
So I will add it (most likely in next month).  
I need some time to dive into this topic and to think about a realisation way
