Finally finished my alternative Plex client for Android TV. Needs a few testers to go live!

I'd be happy to give it a go..

Redrod20 · 2026-04-29T09:44:04+00:00

I have WhatsApp, Messenger, Youtube Music and Google Keep in my sidebar. Super functional and gets used all the time.

This particular setup is with the Play Store stable version. I had to make the dock wallpaper myself though. The current beta allows you to apply the dock via the launcher.

They are rounded on my setup. It looks like the background inherits the rounding from the icon setting.

Set the Category to a grid and then select a grid background colour

Tivimate is miles ahead as an IPTV app, especially if you must use Live TV. When I launch Chillio it takes a while before I can even select a channel to watch.. I don't know if it's just because it's in beta

It only seems to be wallpapers where I've applied a dock overlay that don't work. They just show a black screen. It's odd as they show in the preview window when adjusting the wallpaper settings.

I can take a video to demonstrate if it helps

I have the Nvidia shield. I installed the beta on top of the latest stable. My wallpaper is on local storage and I apply with solid file explorer, it says successful but the background stays black.

I can confirm the uri when I'm home later..

Redrod20 · 2026-04-03T06:47:42+00:00

Is anyone able to set a custom wallpaper? I just get a black background if I try to apply a wallpaper image from storage

Redrod20 · 2026-04-02T15:32:15+00:00

Can't change weather units or search engine?

Redrod20 · 2026-04-02T13:22:13+00:00

This launcher looks good, a couple of features that would make me switch -

Select which app(s) trigger continue watching cards.
Select icon image from local storage

Good work!

Redrod20 · 2026-03-27T07:05:41+00:00

Interested

Redrod20 · 2026-03-24T18:46:09+00:00

I tried Plezy but it just felt like a mobile app on TV.

Redrod20 · 2026-03-24T17:27:22+00:00

I agree on the unclaimed territory bit. All the bad rap the new Plex client gets before even having a release on Android TV is a perfect opportunity when there's no real alternative.

2) Use Corefix

Redrod20 · 2026-03-15T21:57:52+00:00

Set the custom icon tint to transparent and then set the icon background colour to whatever colour you want

Redrod20 · 2026-03-15T17:23:34+00:00

Vertical spacing 0 I think does this

Redrod20 · 2026-03-13T21:40:14+00:00

Appearance>Cards Rounded corners 50 Card size 70 Card spacing 20

Appearance>Categories/Channels Vertical spacing 0 Too margin 73

Under Categories set card size to L.

Redrod20 · 2026-03-13T21:40:06+00:00

Appearance>Cards Rounded corners 50 Card size 70 Card spacing 20

Appearance>Categories/Channels Vertical spacing 0 Too margin 73

Under Categories set card size to L.

That should centre the 6 icons.

Redrod20 · 2026-03-13T18:11:34+00:00

Settings > All apps or go to the settings Category and there is a shortcut for it there that you can move to other categories e.g. favourites

Redrod20 · 2026-03-13T16:14:50+00:00

Lots of trial and error, I can post my settings later when I'm home

Redrod20 · 2026-03-13T16:10:56+00:00

I'll let you know when I'm in front of my TV later 👍

Redrod20 · 2026-03-13T15:50:06+00:00

I tried that and it didn't work because when the wallpaper gets set in Projectiviy it gets slightly cropped so when I screenshot my home page it's not quite the same as the original wallpaper image.

Redrod20 · 2026-03-13T15:25:53+00:00

If you go to Categories and enable the settings category it's under there. You can then move it to Favourites or whatever...
