XPlay (WebOS)

That’s what the trial/demo period is for right, to see if it suits your needs? No one forced you to buy it and you could have tested it all. Your argument isn’t even valid since XPlay plays hardsubs and softsubs fine without transcoding. It works like a charm for me.

And i did the trial long time ago and tried a few different settings on files to see if i got anything going without transcode, got trough trial and everything did transcode( files with softsub that direct plays on pc, android(ext player) and samsung smartv) but because of coments like yours i came back and with no more trial i had to pay to actually see if some update helped my case, and its still the same, the truth is that in my case it just doesn’t work, now just jump in my shoes for a sec…

and not that i was rude or something…
“so guess what i just paid to unlock demo because I’ve read somewhere that different from the official plex app this would play softsubs without transcode anddddddddd i’m back to use plex trough DLNA…”

yeh i spend money on something that does suit me, but the old “did you have a gun pointed to your head forcing you to do it”… god damn… not gonna spend a second more reading this shitz

Hi @bublikoff ! Firstly, I really think that XPLAY is the best player for Plex! Really happy to have it!

I don’t know if it is possible, or even if it is already implemented somehow, but is there a way to hide all the controls during pause? Perhaps after a configured time? It could be shown again if any button is pressed…

Anyway, just a minor annoyance, your player is GREAT!

Can you explain what for?

And? What this post was about? If you dont like … dont need this app just dont use it … I dont force anyone to use it. This project was started as fun and because I did not like PlayZ UI. You can also start your own

You need to calm da fuq down… You take money for your work then take de critics like a grown men, i paid for an APP because i read a few people saying that it would do something i was looking for, it doesnt so excuse me if i show some miscontent for my purchase…

I dont see any critics from your post. You could test all functionality without any payments. And you must tell all your problems to LG instead of me. I just use functionality that LG gives me.

Users can always email me and ask for extended demo period … like in your situation … they tried it long long time ago but want to retest it again. Ive no problems reset demo period. Your situation is not unique.

Well, the need arrived for reading the vanity cards at the end of some tv shows… :slight_smile: But there should be other uses for this feature… :wink: For example, to look for details in a scene, perhaps.

It would help at least to move the play icon from the middle of the screen to the top left side of the screen (or somewhere else)… Just like the old VCRs did…

But, as I said, no big deal, XPlay is already fantastic, I am a happy customer!

Hi !

I get xplay on my 4K TV OLED LG :slight_smile:

When I want to play a 4K vidéo, it said that It would be transcoding (so I thing no 4K, but 1080)…you know why ? When I go on the website of XPlay, I see screenshot with “Movie UHD”, “TvShow UHD”, etc !

If someone can help me :wink:

Thanks !

Well i dont nerd that extension now, but i could use some help understanding why i get my softsubs transcoded while so many people se em to not have that problem

Hi there.
I hope that is ok if i make a request here.
I will like to have the option to delay the subtitle. Not every subtitle perfectly fit and sometimes i need to adjust the time. Let’s say that for a max. 10 sec is ok with 0,5 sec steps.
I hope to have at least a response if it’s possible on next updates to have that option.
Thank you.

I´m just happy bublikoff.
That you are there, and are doing what you are doing… And you must be doing something right, cos i prefer the Xplay even after now the plex has come to the Danish LG shop.
But the lg plex ver looks really bad contra Xplay.

Only thing i´m wondering about is the time marker has moved aprox 5-10 min to the right and not dead on…?

Probably have changed audio track or subtitles from default one … At least I can see it on your screenshot … there are some tech problems to use audio or subtitles tracks in certain circumstances. And I can do nothing with it as all functionality I can get only from LG webOS API … and its quite poor

The main problem is that is certain circumstances its not possible to show embedded subtitles without transcoding. For eg if you have to English subtitles tracks only one can be shown without transcoding. It happens because webOS handle those tracks and show it on the screen. And the app only can ask webOS to show it by telling it language code …in reality I cant even know if subtitles was shown or not. As I already mentioned before … I can only ask … and because of this functionality I had problems with LG in last December .

Ye … some users already have requested this feature … but Ill probably add it to the major update. I dont think that new functionality will be added to current version. The last one was update functionality without LG QA … I can fix issues a bit faster way

Can you tell me your webOS version?

Since my OLED55E6V doesn’t have gigabit ethernet (unbelievable!!), I have to use Plex over Wifi ac… I tried the official Plex app for LG. Piece of ****, stuttering all the time with direct play and 1080p remuxed movies. Someone told me about XPlay and tried it… Works like a charm! I still miss some features, like being able to add time offset to the subs, but I’m pretty happy with the app.

Just to clarify, most of 4k dts rip reach a max of 50/60mbps… a 100mb wired connection is enough.
Personally I prefer a lan connection, rather that using the wifi.

Just wanted to say thank you to @bublikoff for all the work he’s put into XPlay.
I understand some things are down to the LG API.
I look forward to the update.

If there an easy way to hide the controls after unpausing? It takes a few seconds to auto-hide the controls and wondering if there is a manual way to do this.

You should understand that most of LG TV probably has not good enough Ethernet chip to get full 100mb bandwidth.And one more thing you should also know … if you use secured connections on your PMS it will also decrease you LG TV performance as it will spend more CPU power on decoding secured traffic instead of spending it on media decoding or something like that

nope … as a variant I can decrease time after that it hides controls
