# GLinnik21/plx-native

> 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

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-10 (UTC), 11:30–12:54: 514 → 519 stars (+5). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +57 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.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 43
- Issues and pull requests: 576
- Watchers: 4

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
