The best solution for now:
Install 1.2.7 PMS on computer or NAS, that works fine with XPLAY 1.2.1. External subtitle works too.
Plus disabled automatic update in PMS.
Happy holiday!
What about PMS 1.2.7 + xPlay 1.2.1 (latest on store) ? External subs + direct play is ok?
Yes. External subs + direct play (AS IS - without transcoding) is OK.
Thank you! I found older versions of PMS in here maybe useful for all others:
@mkaand, same issue here. I guess if you want to use Xplay, better be slower with PMS updates @andyblac1974 MiBox spec sheet writes DTS 2.0+ and Dolby Audio are supported. In the AndroidTV App, Audio passthrough is disabled by default but can be enabled. I usually re-encode everything to MP4 h254 4.1 with AAC so I do not have anything at hand I can test with DTS. since this is a bit off topic, please PM me if you are interested in some tests.
Anyone else getting no more access to plex? my browser keeps telling me āconnection refusedā since i downgraded. Also, plex is not accessible for apps.

Where does it happen to you? Movieās or tv showās?
It happens the same to me. I hope it gets fixed.
@bublikoff Hey man! Like everyone else is saying, its great that XPLAY is back in the LG store, but it really is unusable for anyone that has kept their PMS updated with the latest version. You can see the videos in the right side like @mkaand said (Reference his picture) but even when you click on the videos, it just goes into an infinite processing period⦠Just a heads up⦠LG already pulled your app because it was unusable and technically it still is⦠I donāt want have to go without xplay but I am not sure how many times LG will allow you to reinsert your app back in their app storeā¦
And I get it⦠The suggestion to downgrade to 1.2.7 is an option but it is not a solution. The current version of PMS is 1.3.3.xxx⦠The people that are leachers and not server owners are just going to report that XPLAY doesnāt work and then LG will do what it did last time⦠Just something to contemplate as you move forward.

They have taught me that when a thing works fine, dont touch it. If PMS 1.2.7 works fine with xPlay why update it.
I really donāt see why we should have to downgrade the PMS just to get this App to work. Surely as we have paid for this app, isnāt it the job of the App developer to insure itās compatible??

He worked hard on a fix for 1.3.0, then it took ages for LG to get it in the store. At that time Plex changed the API again in 1.3.3 (with no fallback) and there is no communication or documentation of the API and changes from Plex for 3rd party developers. Give the man a break, heās doing his best to keep it up to date, but itās not as simple as you are describing.

Because its a hard job and lose more time to create or modify app. if you arent pleased with this app. You can create one for you.

An xplay update appeared on my tv. But after opening the app appeared a code to link to the Plex website. Why this change? Now it will only be possible to use xplay having internet connection?
Only for linking ⦠and previous version also required Internet for sign-in

Version 20161212.1.2.1 is the latest in the store, and works with PMS 1.3.0 but NOT with 1.3.3 since PMS again made big changes to itās API and it took LG some time to even put this new XPlay version in the store.
Can I download newer USB version than 1.2.1?
If LG needs long time to put new versions to the store then would be good the possiblity to download newer USB versions. Are they public?
Nope ⦠LG has changed USB creation procedure ⦠and now they does not encrypt sources ⦠like for Netcast platform >
Itās possible upload USB version but when turn off tv, USB versionās dissapear and you have to upload it again.
I do it for my issue and works fine. I ask LG for downgade xPlay version. Iām waiting for response.
What do you mean when say āI ask LG for downgade xPlay version.ā? Its not possible
@1soproni said:
Maybe Iām wrong, but AFAIK if you copy it to a pendrive and put it to the TV it will be always available in the apps menu like you would have installed it from the store. I have used PlayPMS on this way because that wasnāt in the store.
Yep ⦠just dont pull off it while TV is ON ⦠or it will loose settings. There is also one more thing ⦠it will not remember icon position on apps bar
@risesa said:
In my tv, USB apps donāt work if not install developerās mode. I have to compile USB version with SDK tools and install it by computer.
@1soproni said:
Is there any cons of developerās mode?
No real cons ⦠just sometime USB will not work without real reason ⦠it seams that LG does not like USB apps ⦠I suppose they are have to keep some tracking infrastructure for USB apps and they are trying to prevent using them

Iāve tested some films, looks normal.
But on TV Show āInternsā - Plex oroginal app shows normal picture, XPlay cut 1/3 of screen and fill it black. TV Show plays normal but without 1/3 of picture⦠TV Show plays AS IS without transcoding. Previous version work absolutely normal⦠It was my mistake updating appā¦
Other TV Show (iāve tested Poirot Agataās Crystie) - plays normal without cutting part of screen.
