rex for Android 0.2.2

What changed since 0.2.0:

• An addon's buttons wrap onto more rows on a phone, so Log and Remove are no longer hidden off the side.
• A message at the top of the screen goes away at your next button press.
• Rename the server in a Plex app (Friendly name) and the app shows the new name.
• Opening the app starts rex again if the system had stopped it.
• Every addon signs in with a code. The Spotify pairing screen is gone, and with it the two Wi-Fi permissions.
• An addon this version can no longer run says Needs an update: refresh its repository and press Update.
• The Stremio, YouTube and Spotify addons moved to rex-community-addons. Add that repository by its link to keep getting their updates.
• Settings, Licenses lists the libraries inside rex and the addon host.

Install it over the old version. rex starts again by itself and your sign-in and addons stay.

rex for Android 0.2.0

rex for Android turns a phone, tablet, Android TV, Google TV or Fire TV into a media server for the Plex apps. Open any Plex app signed in to the same account and pick the server by its name. What it plays comes from addons; it starts with the Internet Archive's public domain films.

This is the first release most people will see (0.1.0 was a test build). New since then:

• A log for each addon. Open an addon's Log to see what it did lately, newest first, and share it. Keys and passwords stay hidden.
• "Left out" counts. When a sync skips entries it couldn't use, the addon says how many, and its log says why.
• Settings with choices and help. A setting with a few options shows them as buttons, with a check on the one in use. Settings can carry a line of help underneath.
• Your own server's address. An addon that reads from a server at home asks for its address, such as 192.168.1.20:8096, and can reach only that. A wrong address is pointed out right at the field. If an update adds such a setting, rex asks first and names it.
• Big libraries sync in parts. Addons can now hand rex a large library in pages, up to 200,000 titles, instead of all at once.
• Plainer waiting. When a website asks rex to slow down, rex now says when it tries again, not a count of seconds.

Which file

Your device	Download
Most phones, tablets and TV boxes (64-bit)	rex-android-0.2.0-arm64-v8a.apk
Older or cheaper 32-bit boxes, Fire TV Sticks among them	rex-android-0.2.0-armeabi-v7a.apk
Emulators on a PC	rex-android-0.2.0-x86_64.apk

Not sure? Try arm64-v8a first; Android refuses to install the wrong one. Android 8.0 or newer.

There is no Play Store version yet. When there is, it may not update a copy installed from here: you might have to uninstall this one first, which drops its Plex sign-in and addons.

Set up, addons and what the app sends where: README.
