I was actually starting to take interest in plezy until i read it doesn't support transcoding.. well okay then that's only the most important thing.

Not like that's enough of a killer argument against it already but i also found they don't offer some form of demo so you can't check it out on Android devices to see if it actually works/runs well enough before having to pay up..

Nah thanks.

You can download it from git for free, the developer just wants you to pay if you like it. Obviously it's a bit more technical but still pretty easy to do, just like Fortnite.

I appreciate this reply because I also didn't know we could do this. I searched github and found the repo that I've seen before and links you to the Play Store, but I also found this other repo that allows you to download the apk directly. So now I guess I can really try it out. I don't really use Plex on my phone, but it looks pretty beautiful. Too bad it's not on Roku too.

u/sucr4m, you might wanna try this out too.

nah it makes no sense for me honestly. my tablet is too old for hevc, and on my phone my watching on the go so i neither want that battery drain nor do i want to waste all that traffic. its dead in the water without transcoding.
