Hi, @DironDir added me to the beta tester application program. I tested the beta version 1.0.36 and it corrects the problem of playing videos in MPEG4 ! ---

> [@Th0mAs](#): > > I tested the beta version 1.0.36 and it corrects the problem of playing videos in MPEG4 ! Thank you @Th0mAs for help with testing. The 1.0.35 version worked on my Nvidia Shield well but it didn’t work on @Th0mAs’s device. So I will publish 1.0.36 version soon where this issue is fixed ---

Guys, could you please rate the app on Google play? Sometimes I see low rating but there are no any words… It’s really frustrating. So I will appreciate any feedback at Google play. Thanks in advance ---

Hi @DironDir, is there a way to give the app a try before buying it? I see the demo version mentioned in the thread but I’m not sure how to get it. ---

I think part of th low rating is just that it’s not as polished and the price is 7.99 instead of like 1.99. It seems to work better than the plex app when they moved to the v2 version of the media player the nvidia shield started having issues where it would be the sever wasn’t fast enough. But emby and the old version worked fine. One issue I see is there are no sorting options when you go into movies. I’d like to sort by recently added. But the ui seems broken and has no options. ---

Hi @yury_kunitsky, There was a demo version earlier. But it was hard to support. So now there is only one version at Google Play. You can install it, try and will get your money back if you don’t like it.

What does sense only mean? It Doesn’t seem like most things are being passed thru for me. Also in movies I press sort I get a pop up that says view mode and no options. When you’re in the settings menu B should also kick you out but it doesn’t need to press the back button instead. ---

My sorting window has no options in it. Also the trigger buttons/bumpers don’t skip 30sec. I’ll check the audio again but I know most tv shows are Dolby’s but it doesn’t seem to kick over on the receiver but in plex same show would. But I’ll double check it. ---

But I’ll double check it. Right now I can’t say anything specific about the reasons. On my side all works. Could you give me an example of a movie/episode? (Send a PM with the link to download) ---

You keep posting the Android controller doc. I don’t care what those buttons do. I care about what the PLEX APP currently does lol. Maybe you need to map button 11 to LB. I didn’t test all the buttons. I was watching a movie and wanted to skip a heard normally I would press the bumpers/triggers to progress it. Or maybe Im looking for Button 10 to “Skip forward 30seconds”. Would be wonderful if YouTube and everyone made buttons do the same thing lol. I think maybe YouTube does this with the trigger? Also Im not talking about the … on recently added. I go into Movies, then click the … click sorting and the window is empty, so maybe for recently add it works, but in movies it doesnt. If you had the code up someplace Id give you the PR if it was easy for me to find 😛 I’m a software engineer but more C#/.NET/SQL, but could probably figure it out to at least point you to the code I think is wrong.
