I wish I found this app earlier instead of trying to get the Plex app working with 4K. Thank you for developing this, I paid the fee to buy the app with pleasure! Keep up the good work.

Thank you very much :slight_smile:

Thanks. I would doubt that it would work an differently if you have not done anything for it to work.
I’m no expert at all but I have realised that Kodi and Plex do not pass through DTS. Plex will transcode it tho.
It has something to do with Sony following their own naming of the required audio API’s, Kodi devs refuse to ā€œhackā€ Kodi with a fix when the responsibilioty lies with Sony to fix it. Apparently someone has written a ā€œhackedā€ Kodi called "ā€œSh*tty Kodyā€ with a hack to allow that to happen.

Last question…

What exactly does this app offer when buying it over the std player when using it for a TV, or anything else that matters…?

Thanks again.

You will never know it if you don’t try.

I can’t say anything bad about the std plex client. And it has more features.
But I don’t really like how it looks and it often transcodes videos.
So xplay tries to play without transcoding. The UI is different.
I think you need to ask other users about their experience.
For example, @Frank_Reymenants in his post above today said that the app works better with 4k content on his equipment.

And by the way I like to develop for Android platform :slight_smile:

Just FYI

Now I’m working on casting (for smarts\tablets).
Then I plan to add play lists and adapt a music player for smarts\tablets

That’s my plan for next round of development of the app

Super awesome cant wait for those features…absolute thank you very doing this knowing that you are probably doing this on your spare time and besides a few disgruntled peeps most of us are super pleased and appreciate your hard work and listening to your fans of your 3rd party option specially when the nvidia shield plex app is super ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–

Thank you for supporting :slight_smile:

I will very much appreciate if you could rate the app on Google play too.

can u make an option to sort collections by name? Right now its only sorted by year

Hi,

It will be added in next version.
I think tomorrow

Hey is there an update on the amazon firestick app? Thank you. Have you ran into any problem while testing?

The app works well with my Amazon stick 4k.
But Amazon rejected my submission… With the reason ā€œthe app encourages piracyā€.
I asked them how it is possible and since this 8 days have passed and I still have no any answer. Only confirmation email with my case number.

So I’m waiting and can do nothing with this.
From my side everything is ready.

Thank for the collection update. There maybe a slight bug with sorting. See pic below

Maybe have it organize by sort title instead of regular title to fix it. Maybe…!

Indeed.
Will update the sorting today

You can update and try…

Just did. Thank you very much. Boss style

Have u thought about giving xplay the ability to auto save the aspect ratio?

What did you mean?

Everytime u watch a movie or tv show that’s not full screen, You have to use the AR arrows to adjust in the Video OSD to make it full screen and u have to do it to every movie/tv shows if u exit

The new feature I’m describing is save that preference in AR so when u watch a non full screen movie it go full screen as soon as it loads up

There are still shows/Movies that are not fullscreen? Mh okay i guess u mean old ones?

But why do you want to make them full screen? They“re stretched then, right?
