Hello there!
I had bought Xplay some time ago by the LG Store. I spent some time without using it, now it appears that it is in demo version. Do I need to buy it again?
I have an LG EF950V oled with webos 2.0. Plex server on i7 3770 pc, xplay client on tv.
The problem is that I can not see the videos in 4K I always get buffering.

Is there a way to auto sign-in into a profile (Plex Home)? The option exists on the official app.
Disabling MU-MIMO in the router fixed the buffering for streaming 4k movies.

Try turning off the transcoding if it is ticked see if 4k plays ok then

See if you can check the wifi channel that your router is using - and configure it to use channel 36 if possible.
For some reason the LG wifi adaptor (on my B7 anyway) only performs well on certain channels.
Here are my results (using the LG Internet Speed app - which I agree isnāt the best, but the Speedtest.net results from the TV browser app more or less backed the results up for the most part), using a dedicated 802.11ac wifi network just for the TV:
20MHz only - 40Mb/s
40Mhz only - 15Mb/s
80Mhz only - 11.5Mb/s
Any 20/40/80Mhz, automatic channel - 11.3Mb/s
Any 20/40/80Mhz, with fixed channel 100 - 14Mb/s
Any 20/40/80Mhz, with fixed channel 36 - 195Mb/s
20MHz, with fixed channel 100 - 27.3Mb/s
20MHz , with fixed channel 136 - 48Mb/s
20MHz, with fixed channel 136, N only - 8Mb/s
20MHz only, with fixed channel 36 - 89Mb/s
40MHz only, with fixed channel 36 - 177Mb/s
40MHz only, with fixed channel 36 - 206Mb/s
Channel 36 seemed to be best from these limited tests.
Iāve left the configuration there and no longer have issues playing 4K content.
I found this info from this post:
Good stuff but you probably mean Mbps 
206 Mb/s is like a 2 gigabit internet connection.
Wish there was a app that would allow testing internal network.

You could use something like this: GitHub - librespeed/speedtest: Self-hosted Speed Test for HTML5 and more. Easy setup, examples, configurable, mobile friendly. Supports PHP, Node, Multiple servers, and more

Itās accurate, Iām very fortunate that my Internet connection is gigabit FTTP.

I really doubt you can pull 2 gigabit on a LG TV.

Thanks I installed it. Iām getting 295 Mbps accross all channels. It seems thats the LG limit.
Except when the 5 Ghz wireless is set 1733 mbps itās at like 5 mbps with lots of lag. So LG Oled wireless canāt handle routers at 1733 mbps. I got the router set at 866mbps.

Sorry I think weāre getting confused here - wasnāt suggesting that Iām getting 2Gbps down via wifi, especially on what seems like a very temperamental wifi adaptor on the B7! But rather that the TV is now finally working with 4K streams and getting a stable 200 Mbps (or Mb/s, whatever your preference) wifi connection - after setting wifi channel 36 at 40 Mhz on the router.

I think you are confusing Bytes with Bits here. 1 Byte(B) is 8 Bits(b), hence 1MB = 8Mb.
@bublikoff I hope you are feeling better now. I was wondering whether you know whether it is possible to use the audio boost selection to select the audio output to be ac3 instead of aac? My receiver seems to have issues with using aac and if I could simply use that menu item to change the output that would be great!
what are the chances of getting alexa integration working, works very well on chrome/web for me, its the only way weād get any alexa integration in app as webos doesnt support direct webos integration without running it from a pc.
Sorry but am i the only one that cant get EAC3 working?
Iāve just bought this app but have a question, is it linked to your Plex account or the TV?
It would be nice to be able to have multiple users on the same TV so that my wife can have her own viewing history logged.
If youāre using Plex Home then each launch of the app will ask for the user
to select their profile - which will handle the individual histories.
Hey all,
A quick question, there is a way to change subtitles offset for external subtitles? because i couldnāt find it anywhere.
(+/- xxx ms )
Thx
its great that this supports subs better than the official app, but it fails to play multiple lines at once.
This is mostly an Anime thing but it happens so often there.
where you might have different subs for different things, like voices, romanized song text and translated song text all at once.
XPlay failed to handle this well at all, where it would try to fill the same space and line with the different text.
Meaning it could place the song text over the voice work and so onā¦ missing story elements because of it.
The Plex Media player handles this will with .ass subs.
And XPlay clearly handles .ass subs well otherwise, hope this could get a fix.
the Official LG app wont direct play .ass subs at all sadly.
