          I’ve been searching all over and haven’t found anything yet. The only answer seems to be to directly open up the Plex database in sqllite and navigate the schema myself and figure out how to export the specific tables and fields I want in some usable format. Once I have that, there are tools to generate .nfo files.

              Maybe, I put it into dev mode to install the app, but it seems that it’s not functional in the current version

                Oh, I meant browse to the webpage like you would on a computer. Is there not a browser available? I’ve only got dumb tvs, so sorry I can’t be of more help.

          Ok.

          So it has a dedicated music app?
          It has music filtering?
          Good 4k/x265 performance?
          Has a third party (or built in) utility that shows me streaming usage?
          Allows me to limit remote users to streaming from a single IP address at a time?
          Let’s me watch something together with another remote user?
          Has an app for most any device (like Plex or Emby) that does NOT require sideloading?
          Has built in native DVR steaming/recording support?
