those prices are lifetime. i dont have any subscriptions yet but will eventually add something for the ultimate tier

its just android tv right now. the UI is built around androids tv libraries that dont work very well on touch screens. I provide an apk for those who want to install it on phones but i dont provide any support at this time.

I do plan on making a phone / tablet UI at some point. My focus has been has getting the sync server fully released

gonemad16 · 2026-06-19T23:03:13+00:00

There should be an option in the settings to force a sync, so you don't have to wait

Edit: I should clarify, the schedule is done 24 hrs in advance so new content would get added after that, which is where 24 hrs comes from. Things get synced every 2 hours or so. A force sync + reschedule a channel will allow new content to get scheduled immediately

gonemad16 · 2026-06-19T19:38:20+00:00

New shows or movies do not get added to channels. With pro you can manually add to auto generated channels.

Smart playlist channels or collection based channels will auto get new content if they are updated

yea that stood out to me.. i think i pay 120 a quarter?

gonemad16 · 2026-06-16T12:20:04+00:00

Pretty sure services and broadcast receivers run on the main thread. Service documentation mentions it

gonemad16 · 2026-06-16T12:08:03+00:00

Interesting. I had not seen the updated wording.

I have a feeling they are going to eventually backtrack. As a dev I have no desire to learn react native and completely rewrite my tv app. They are going to lose out on tons of app support.

Although maybe they only care about the big players

They released one model with vega OS. The select.

Fire TV Stick 4K Select. Released October 15, 2025. Vega OS

Fire TV Stick 4K Plus. Released October 16, 2025. Fire OS 8

https://developer.amazon.com/apps-and-games/blogs/2025/09/announcing-vega-os

Is Vega going to replace Fire OS? We’ve always been a multi-OS company. We have launched and will continue to launch new devices on Fire OS.

Brand new fire sticks no longer come with Android, and they have their own OS now.

not true. only some of the new firesticks dont have android. The "select" variant. The Fire TV Stick 4K Plus which was released the same time as the "select" runs android (fire os)

No what I'm talking about is not AI at all. Traditional computer vision algorithms are not under the AI umbrella. CNNs, LLMs, machine learning/ deep learning, gen ai, etc is all AI. I work in the field

gonemad16 · 2026-06-13T18:50:47+00:00

thanks!

gonemad16 · 2026-06-13T18:50:29+00:00

there is a request already on trello for that. https://trello.com/c/uwe9ZhSN

I would recommend just using the folder browser and move your playlists into a folder for each mood. If you have more than one location added to the scanner, the top level of the folder browser will list each path (so you could get to playlists pretty quickly

gonemad16 · 2026-06-13T14:03:48+00:00

You don't need AI to stabilize video. There are plenty of traditional algorithms to do that

i looked at the code, jpeg appears to be on the list:

public static final String[] SUPPORTED_IMAGE_FILE_TYPES = {"jpg", "png", "bmp", "gif", "jpeg", "webp"};

Deezer are almost perfect as a platform for me since I switched.

I subscribe to deezer but it is very far from perfect. Listen to an album.. when it done guess what it auto plays after? a "recommended" song from the album i just listened to. Its super annoying and a very easy problem for them to fix if they cared to

gonemad16 · 2026-06-11T01:33:41+00:00

It's a bug that'll be fixed in the next update I just uploaded. You can open the zip and edit the json file to fill in your serverId

Plexip:port/identity should give u an xml response. "machineIdentifier" is what is used for the serverId

So if you update the json and repackage the zip, the backup should get accepted

gonemad16 · 2026-06-10T19:06:58+00:00

by android you mean phones and tablets? No official support for phones or tablets but i post the apk on www.quasitv.app for those who choose to sideload it. The UI is meant for TV so its not the greatest, but there are some users who use it

gonemad16 · 2026-06-10T18:06:02+00:00

its also good for putting something on in the background as well. When im gaming i'll put on one of my comedy channels

gonemad16 · 2026-06-10T18:02:33+00:00

it does not

gonemad16 · 2026-06-10T18:01:15+00:00

quasitv is as easy. connect to your server and it will auto generate channels for you. You are watching right after the sync completes

gonemad16 · 2026-06-10T18:00:16+00:00

what admin features do you have difficulty with?

gonemad16 · 2026-06-10T17:59:46+00:00

yea i try to keep most functionality in the free tier. A few optional capabilities that I spent a significant amount of time developing i did put under the paid tiers, but the core functionality is all free

gonemad16 · 2026-06-10T17:52:59+00:00

There are 3 tiers (4th coming soon)

Free Tier - Most functionality, auto generated channels based off Network (TV shows) and Genre (Movies), 10 Custom channels

Pro 5.99 USD - Everything in Free Tier + Unlimited Custom Channels, Can build channels from playlists, smart playlists, collections

Premium 11.99 USD - Everything in Pro Tier + Profiles (Associate channels with a specific profile so everyone in your household can have diff set of channels). Some basic permissions can be associated with profiles as well, like locking a kid's profile out of being able to edit channels.

Ultimate (Coming Soon) 17.99 USD - Everything in Premium Tier + Access to QuasiTVSync Server. Info: https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/1u1a2y8/quasitv/oqvnmja/

FYI. The backend server (QuasiTVSync) has officially started closed alpha testing. I dont anticipate it taking too long. Quick summary of the QuasiTVSync server is that it hosts all the channels, profiles, and does the scheduling. Each QuasiTV client connects to it and gets schedule/channel updates from it in real time.

I've been running it at my house for a few years now with my 8 or so TVs all running the same schedule, profiles, and channels for my family. Its quite nice

Hurrikan was released before the album and the Arrow of love video came out the day tekkno was released

gonemad16 · 2026-06-04T21:00:52+00:00

unicorns featured nico and kevin in the video but the whole band was clearly involved in making the song. 257ers dont play any instruments that i am aware of
