Soluccionado thanks

584

Donā€™t you have the Play market app on your device?

585

Hello good morning, is that update device and now the application does not come for it, but I already solve the problem I will have it with updates that will not come out, but for the moment solved thanks and as always excellent work.

586

Good to hear that everything is okay now

587

Any update on Chromecast support? Also, is it possible to port the Xplay app to Roku?

Thanks for your time and great app. I have it on my LG Oled and on my Android phone and tablet. Love it and use them every day. Would love to have an xplay app on my parentā€™s Roku if possible.

@falang78 thank you for your interest in XPlay.

The Chromecast suport is in the development stage but at present it is not ready for publication. Hope to finish it in next several months

About Rokuā€¦ Iā€™ve taken a look at docs about this OS. This has its own development language and architecture so porting in this case is not an easy task. Even if we decide to port the app it will not be done soon. Sorryā€¦

Hi @DironDir,

Sorry for my long silence ā€¦
Your app is always on top.

But he still misses auto framerate switching ā€¦

I went through some forums and maybe found some tracks:

Could it help you?

Thank you

Is there any chance of releasing the android version of this with a different package name? Just as an apk would be fine!

There is a long standing issue on Sony Bravia Android TVs where Sony wonā€™t let you put the TV into 3D mode unless itā€™s one of their known apps. This can be got around with Kodi by compiling it with a different package name. More info (and the supported package names) here: https://community.sony.co.uk/t5/android-tv/unable-to-turn-on-3d-mode/td-p/2116121/page/5

At the moment the only way to watch 3D stuff with Plex directly on the TV is to use DLNA and that, quite frankly, is a bit rubbish!!

Hello,

I have an LG 55B8 and bought the app, but now I have a big problem.
There are movie files which donā€™t play the first (and only important) audio track.

For example, I have movies with different language audio tracks. The English (original) one is the only one Iā€™m interested in, but, it just wonā€™t play!
The audio track shows up in the menu, but when I play the video, it automatically plays the next language. There is no way to play the first and English audio track, it just gets ignored?

I can select the English audio, but it will just play Spanish or whatever is the second audio track.
No way to get the original audio!

Emby can play it in English without a problem and without transcoding, no problem!

How can I resolve this issue, because itā€™s ridiculous to not being able to watch movies in their native language!

Please advise for a solution,
Thanks!

Hi!

I think that compiling with another package name is not a good idea.

Also I see the the problem that is described under your link is solved now (if you take a look at the last page of the discussion)

596

Hi,

Sorry, but here we discuss the Android version of XPlay.
I canā€™t say anything about issues with the LG version.
You better ask here: https://forums.plex.tv/t/xplay-webos/106434/4551

Hi DironDir,

I wish that it was solved. The last page of that discussion talks about playing through a sony blu-ray player and there is a post from someone saying about file formats which is unfortunately not accurate. I understand your reluctance to release a custom version of the app, particularly as this is Sonyā€™s fault! Iā€™ll just have to use an external box instead of the android tv built in.

Thanks

Chris

Hi @DironDir,

I noticed a little bug in version 1.46t:
I have a 1960s TV series that is in mono AC3 (1 channel)
With Xplay, the audio part is transcoded while with the official Plex application, Iā€™m in direct play.

Can you do something for that?

Thank you

Hi,

Is it possible to get an episode for tests?

Hello, good question, what is the latest version? Is that I have bought it but when I switch from my old tvbox to a KI pro now I donā€™t get a link in playstore.

601

Another query I have several plex accounts within my account, how can I switch between them without having to link leaving and re-entering? Thanks.

602

Hi,

Google play link

Now you need to use linking to change an account
