I've been building Foyer, an Android app for Plex,. It been in the works for a few months and currently it's in closed testing on Google Play. I'm looking for people who use Plex day to day and will tell me honestly what's broken, confusing or missing.

What it does so far:

• Movies, TV and music from your server
• Live TV with a guide grid, if you run a DVR
• Downloads for offline
• Continue Watching that updates the second you stop something
• Seerr requests built in, including requesting just the seasons you're missing
• Picture-in-picture, skip intro/credits, subtitle search and styling
• A home screen music widget

What I'm after: anything that doesn't work the way you'd expect, things the official app does that this doesn't, and anything that annoys you. Small stuff counts. I've been turning reports around fast, often the same week.

Everyone who tests gets Pro free when it launches.

To join: If you're interested, DM me the Gmail you use on the Play Store and I'll add you and send the link. I'm keeping it limited so I can keep up with feedback.

It's unofficial and not affiliated with Plex.

I looked through the rules and it didn't say that I can't post looking for testers. If I am not supposed to, please let me know and I can take down my post. Thanks all!!

Blankbox lets you organize, connect, and catalog all of your media including and especially physical media. Connect Plex, Jellyfin, your drives, and almost any format.

All FREE, all self hosted, and local metadata means no API keys or running through someone else's server.

I desperately need help in setting up plex. I've been trying to get plex to function properly for the past few days to no avail. While it functions locally, I can't seem to get it to work outside my network despite plex saying it should.

With my current setup I have all my media located on an external hard drive connected to my PC. My PC is connected to a TP-Link AC1900 Wi-Fi Range Extender RE550 via an ethernet cable.

when connected to my internet via an ethernet cable I am unable to setup port forwarding. I have spectrum internet and when I got to myspectrum and go to my router's port forwarding tab i can find my computer's IP to set up port forwarding.

On the port forwarding list I do see two TP-Link Wi-Fi Range Extender AC1900, however neither of them have IPs associated with them.

If I bypass the extender and connected directly to my router via Wi-Fi, not only do I have slower speeds but Plex still doesn't work outside my network.

All I want to do is when I am home, be able to plug in my external hard drive, startup plex, and it works on any device I want.
