anyone knows why every audio track except from 1, needs to be transcoded?

Itās a limitation of the build-in player of WebOS which XPlay uses. It canāt switch audio-tracks and wil always play the first one. Plex can force this, but then it needs transcoding. LG should add support for thisā¦
Sorry for long absent ā¦ had health problems
Got back to work several days ago.
And compatibility webOS 3.x and PMS 1.4.x in transcoding mode was fixed

I donāt know people reported before me but I have to report. XPlay latest version is working smoothly. But I see a bug. Look like Season name show doubled in navigation address bar. I mean:
PLEX SERVER/TV Series/The Walking Dead/Season 07/Season 07/
Could you confirm that @bublikoff ?
Oops =)) .. will fix in a day or two

Hi all, I could use a bit of help with a problem Iāve using XPlayā¦ Basically if I set a limit on the āLimit remote stream bitrateā to anything other than original on my media server it will refuse to play 90% of my mediaā¦ I just get āThe video could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supportedāā¦If I set the remote stream bit rate to original(No Limit) the media plays fineā¦
Is this a feature or is there something I have missed???
Check now ā¦ it should be fixed with version 20170326.1.2.8

Hello,Just started using this app and am liking it so far. I was curious if you had any plans for Xplay to be able to be used as a ācompanionā app thereby making it controllable by things like the iOS/Android Plex apps?
I was thinking about it ā¦ but probably it will probably possible with webOS 3.x (and maybe 2.x) ā¦ With webOS 1.x its not possible to do thatā¦ definitely

hello @bublikoff. i have bought a second LG TV, installed XPlay on it, and itās the DEMO version. Do I have to buy it again to unlock it on the new TV? (BTW, I am using the same LG store username on both TVs, and indeed the system remembers I bought XPlay). Thanks
Email me for better understanding the situation
@Dark_Stranger said:
Guys, could someone point me in the right direction of what page of this thread gives directions on how to install and test this.
You can find the app in LG Apps store ā¦ there is also USB version exist but it totally outdated and support PMS up to 1.2.x
@Dark_Stranger said:
Ha, I already have the LG TV, and an LG Store account, but when searching unable to find XPlay, so guessed it was installed via USB as an unauthorised app, hence my question here. I guess the app is region specific then.I will try changing the LG Store region to see if the app shows up outside of the UK store.
Visibility depends from several things ā¦ and from LG Corp also) They shows that app is approved for ācodesā)))
I dont fully understand how should I handle them and what exactly TV models they are.
In case you dont see the app you should contact local LG support service

plex media server 1.2.3.2914
xplay on webos2 20160519.1.1.5i donāt want to update either the plex media server nor the xplay version as my server isānt capable of transcoding media while i use the external subtitles.
can u plz help?
How it depends from XPlay version?
You can use newer version of XPlay with āoldā PMS version ā¦ but it will contains bugs fixes
PS
Is this USB version or not? dont remember last usb version ā¦ USB version sometime can not work at all, will not even start ā¦ LG sometime inserts sticks into the wheels

Hi bublikoff, I have two questions for you.
How much buffer size has Xplay?
And, Is it possible add a option to increase buffer size in configuration menu?
Thx.
It has no deep control over video player ā¦ its just a html5 app and actually webOS controls (play) video files ā¦ the app only tells (or its better to sat asks as webOS can do things own way) webOS what to do and how to do that

Hello ** Bublikoff **
I wanted to tell you about a request for evolution if that is possible.I use a universal remote to control my TV (Logitech Harmony One).
When I navigate the menu, to have the next page, I am obliged to follow the arrow in mauve.
For when I am completely to the right, the following page is not displayed.Is it possible to make an evolution in order to be able to go to the following pages directly following the red arrow?
Actually you can use channel buttons to scroll āpagesā ā¦ Are you satisfied with this variant?

Hi @bublikoff,I have found a bug in ver. 20170326.1.2.8 (Hotfix) with Plex 1.5.1.3520.
My user has PIN code. I click to my user, then click immediately to the Enter button and viola. Iām in without I would know the PIN code.
Hmmm ā¦ are u Russian hacker?))) Will check tomorrow

Its because how webOS can handle them. Its probably possible to change audio tracks without transcoding in webOS 3.x (only) ā¦ I just need to upgrade my TV for tests))) webOS emulators usually work a bit different way. Sometime source code can work in emulator and not work on real TV and vice versa.

I somewhere read that LG finally added ability to switch between audio tracks in webOS 3.x
Hi all,
IĀ“m so glad I found this. IĀ“m absolutely delighted to see that somebody really cares about their users and the development of itĀ“s own productā¦ way to go @bublikoff !
So iĀ“m stuck with an 2015 WebOS 1.4 LG TV and just setup my own Plex Server on a raspberry Pi 3ā¦had Plex server on my Windows10 PC before but wanted an āalways onā solution, the PC is wasting too much energy if āalways onā. In the past I simply used LGs SmartShare app to access local media and even the Plex Server via DLNA. Works like a charm EXCEPT for one thing: subtitlesā¦ for whatever reason Smartshare canĀ“t access and display subtitles. So I was switching to the official Plex Appā¦ looks nice, but has some major flaws: canĀ“t use my magic remote to directly jump to a file position with my pointer, SUBTITLES donĀ“t seem work at all , and most importantly - there is never a feedback from the developers here in the forumā¦ So I tried Xplay and it does everything I want. IĀ“m STILL having some issues but I learned that they are partially WebOS related and not your faultā¦ So keep up the good work and Greetings from Germany!

@bublikoff any comments about playlist support?
why not? but probably the first version will come out with only basic functionality. To let ppl to test it.
but I think Iāll use a sliding out sidebar panel for playlist, queues and music player as ppl want bigger posters ā¦ more posters on the screen there is no enough space for that)
For the moment Im playing with āLibraryā screen rendering (lets call it ārenderingā as its HTML based app) optimization.
āUI speedā will be the tagline for the first release =))) lets call it alpha or better version as I need feedback about new UI.
Even I while testing sometimes forgot about new abilities and trying to do things the old UI way)) it took me some days to keep it in my mind
Hi Bublikoff,
Any status/update on playlists functionality ?
Thanks

No, Iām from Hungary 
Just mistyped my PIN and wanted to click to backspace and it seems it clicked to Enter instead of backspace and it logged in immediately. Then I tried to login also with empty PIN code and worked.

Welcome back! Hope youāre health problems have all been solved
Besides a request I made earlier, about hiding the overlay-menu directly when you unpause something (it stays up a really long time when the movie is playing again), could you also hide the clock when you start playing something (or make this optional)? Iād like to watch my content without any distractions and I donāt feel this adds anything (donāt know how other people feel about this though). Keep up the good work!
