Description
Serenity for Android is a client for Emby and Plex Media Servers 0.8 - 1.0. If using plex, do not enable multiuser / plex pass support on your server. See FAQ for frequently asked questions regarding Plex.
Serenity provides an optimized layout for Android TV, and navigation using a remote control, gamepad, or keyboard. Serenity lets you access videos on your server. You can use the internal video player or external players are supported if the videos do not play on your device with the internal player. Transcoding is supported for both media servers if your device can not directly play the content. External player support for MX Player is provided.
As of version 2.0.0 Serenity only supports TV devices. Older versions are no longer supported for phones or tablets. An Emby Media Server is recommended for the best experience not all versions of Plex will work.
You must have an emby or plex media server installed locally to use Serenity. If you have both you can choose between them.
Only unsecure login is supported for Emby. Plex Media Server requires you not to have Plex Pass. If you need this, then use the official Plex App. No Emby Premier features are supported (including Live TV).

Works great on my Nexus Player! This app works great on the Nexus Player (I bought it, downloaded it, and side-loaded it - works great!) There are only a couple of tweaks which need changing and this would be the go-to app for Plex Content on the Nexus Player (as the Plex app requires a pass).

A great start While not as visually polished as the official Plex app, Serenity has the advantage of actually working. The official app won't play a handful of my files, no matter what combination of settings I set. Serenity handles them all perfectly.
★★☆☆☆
I want my money back, I am unable to connect to the server and no settings to correct it to try to connect, so is unusable, I hate this application, the plex client is ok, but this........ under zero, so or correct it to be usable or give me bach the money
★★☆☆☆
Might be interesting, but... I got this app in hopes it would allow me to go through my tutorials and series videos with continuous playback, and maybe it will, but I haven't been able to get that far. As I have a large tutorial library, the easiest way for me to navigate plex has been to 'view by folder', but I can't find any way to do this using Serenity. When I got this app I didn't expect it to actually remove some of my functionality, essential functionality in this instance. Hopefully, someone will be able to show me that I'm simply not using it correctly - and viewing by folder is actually possible. However, until that happens, I can't find my files... Yes I could search, but many file names are only numbers, in a named folder...
★★☆☆☆
Actually plays movies with DTS The plex app stopped playing files with DTS audio but this app still works. The only problem with this app is the UX (user experience). The app needs to be faster, default to "On Deck", better utilize fan art, and the UI needs lots of little tweaks to look better. However, it is open source, so I'll try to lend a hand. Thanks king!
