About the project

An unofficial Plex client for LG webOS TVs written in Rust, drawing its UI directly on the GPU at 60 fps and handing video to the TV's own decoder instead of running a Chromium web app. It aims to fix the sluggishness of the official Plex app on older LG sets.

Useful for
  • Install PlxNative over Developer Mode on a 2019 LG TV and play 4K HEVC from your Plex server
  • Sign in to a Plex Home profile via on-screen QR code and browse libraries shared with you
  • Check whether a webOS 4.0+ set direct-plays a Dolby Vision file or falls back to server transcoding

5.7 Early signal Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 10, 2026, 12:23 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

0125250July 13, 2026October 10, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-10 (UTC), 11:30–12:12: 514 → 517 stars (+3). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +61 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • Over the last two days the pace is 47× that of the previous week and a half.
  • Elevated gains were measured on the last 3 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.
  • GitHub Trending Rust today: #7, +167 stars.
  • About 16 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 434. +1967% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
