[m571]

Hope this gets to LG devs.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.

[martijno]

Yes, i agree PLEX!!!

[wotevajjjj]

Yes plex is a must, also folder support in smartshare would help a lot...

NO doubt, even the basic user needs some more refined DLNA client, and possibly a client that directly reads on shares, like Plex clients used to do.....

Issues to be solved are basically four:

 

- Media structure

 

- Metadata presentation

 

- Multiple Audio Tracks choice

 

- Subtitles

 

Any idea?

Hi,

 

I for one would also really love to have a working plex app for my lg webos tv.

Right now via dlna I can't get (auto downloaded by plex media server) subtitles, I can't resume where I last stopped viewing and I can't see which episodes I already viewed.

 

For those reasons I really wish to have a plexx app real fast. Also, plex interface is a lot nicer with album covers and fanart and imdb movie information etc.

I'm subscribing to this! A PLEX client is a must on this TV. PLease do something about it.

I currently run a plex media server on my ZyXEL NSA 310. Previously I have used an RasPlex installed on a Raspberry Pi, but it was to slow.

Plex must have App

[tazcox]

yes please ... plex plex 

i have it for old smart tv and it's great ... 

[diamanddog]

Yes PLEX. Very importat for me.

[strandloper]

Yes, a proper Plex app will be nice.

 

In the meantime, you can use the browser to browse to your Plex server and get the Plex web app. It's a little slow to browse but otherwise works fine.

 

Or, what I have done, is to get a Chromecast. Now I can browse Plex on my iPad or Android phone and cast to the TV. It works for YouTube too, allowing a better YouTube browsing experience than the TV's app has.

I got it working but found it a little slow, much like accessing the Plex server through the browser. I assumed that would be improved once the release version of the app was available.

I have an apple TV. Can i stream from my iPad using the plex app to my TV? 

 

Some of my movie files are on MKV particularly the 3D titles.

LG Store different by country? If anyone has it on their TV's LG store pls advise. 

[CrashHouse]

Although Plex Web does work with the browser, a dedicated app would be nice. Especially with future proof 4K possibilities. 

[Seagrape]

Just bought a LG 47LB730V, Brilliant except no Plex app to be seen to my disappointed, out of all the apps, I realy thought that there would be a Plex App Available,

however I am using my Roku 3 connected to it for plex and it runs smoothly, Would like the Plex Smart App though.

Yes, please. PLEX is a must be app!

There's a PLEX app in the LG Store. 3,95€ it works perfectly. Great app.

This is really good news! The Simon client finally made it to the App Store! Thank you Simon for your effort, and thank you LG for letting this finally happen! Now the webos universe is a giant step closer to perfection!

[strandloper]

There's no sign of it in the South African store. Wonder when we'll get access to it?

Does is work on WebOS?

[sharpmeadow]

Bought a 60" lg TV with webOS. I only really miss Plex. but it's everything for me. no TV should ever be without plex.

[gherman22]

There is a PLAYz Media app that is a PLEX client in the LG store for my TV, (The LG- 55UB8500 55" 4K TV) I would figure it is not specific to my TV but the overall store.  I didn't try it yet, has anyone been playing with it?

Very Important Missing feature

[Andreas-Philip Kirkby]

Plex +1  we need it.  and not a workaround

[Gabriel Duran]

plex already exists as an app called PLAYz for webOS, but its paid for 4.99$
should be a free app, no doubts... agree with all you

anyone here has the PLAYz? does it play the subtitles?

[Flyke]

Yes, I paid for the PLAYz app and use it almost daily. For me it is money well spend.

Subtitles work without problems. If subtitles are available you can turn them on or off, or select which subtitle you want if there is more than one.

 

I found that changing or selecting subtitle does not work very well from the screen right before you play something. It works best, and without any problems, while playing something by opening the subtitle menu while your movie is playing, so not by going back, but while playing press OK, go to the right and select the speech balloon icon on bottom right of your screen.
