Q5 Pro & Plex
« on: October 04, 2023, 08:02:02 PM »
Hey,

I am wondering if the Q5 Pro is still a fine solution using Plex.

There are 2 options I am aware of running Plex on Q5 Pro, but none of them ist 100% working

1.) Native Android Plex App
  • is using Exo Player
  • Direct Play of Audio & Video not always possible

2.) Plex Kodi Plugin
  • Freezes when I am trying to start the plugin in Kodi

Is there are satisfying setup possible? E.g. using in Native Plex up HiMedia Player instead of Exo Player?

Try get old Plex client v5.x from apkmirror.com or mediafire.com, set Plex client to use native Android player.
Maybe is still working with newest Plex server and good enough for your needs.

Enjoy HiMedia player.

Thank you for sharing the links.
I was able to install one of these previous versions.
But when activating Android Default Player in the settings only 1080p is played and also no HDR.
Also the message "Container (MKV) not supported" pops up.
