Current app features

Built for personal media libraries that do more than sit in one place.

Vortexo brings together Plex libraries, Live TV providers, Vortexo Server imports, and music without making every source feel like a separate app.

Plex browsing

Home rows that stay useful.

Browse Plex Home, libraries, Continue Watching, public catalog rows, watchlist, search, cast, detail pages, trailers, and profile-specific watch history.

Live TV

Several ways to tune in.

Add Live TV sources you are authorized to use, including Plex DVR, compatible playlist URLs, and XMLTV EPG data. Use guide or channel-grid layouts.

Playback

Control where it matters.

Choose audio and subtitle tracks, set language preferences, tune subtitle size, color, position, and delay, resume playback, and use post-video flow.

Vortexo Server

A full source, not a side feature.

Connect your own Vortexo Server for library metadata, trailer metadata, artwork enrichment, Live TV channels, and cleaner Home rows.

Music

Plex music on the big screen.

Browse albums, artists, playlists, lyrics, queue views, visualizers, and a tvOS Now Playing screen with system remote command support.
