    I'm using ZDMC 20.2 on the Z9X and Z9X Pro(don't have the 8k) and don't have any crashes. http://apidl.zidoo.tv/app/zdmc-20.2_rtk.apk

    Thanks for this. Just an update on my experience with zdmc 20.2 using the latest Zidoo plex mod on the z9x 8k - rock solid, no crashes, using it daily with no reboots for 3 days. For some reason zdmc 21 was randomly crashing. Anyway all good for me. I can retire my old z9x with the native plex client still installed!

    New user experience feedback:
    1. Having transitioned from Jellyfin to Plex, I've found that this is by far the best user experience I've had with the Zidoo.
    2. For those having trouble with mapping/path substitution in the PlexToZidoo app, path name lettering case must be exact. I learned this the hard way after realising I was using lower case when I should've been using upper case.
    3. While getting ZDMC to auto-launch is easy, I cannot get the ZidooPlexMod add-on to auto-launch. @bowlingbeeg help with this would be appreciated*.

    *Edit: The Kodi addon, Partymode Autostart, fixed this. Set it to auto-launch favourites on start (add KodiPlexMod to favourites).

    The ZidooPlexMod has an option in the settings that will auto start when Kodi starts. Settings->Main->"Start Plex On Kodi Startup". Was that not working for you?

    I was a bit confused when I couldn't find this setting in the System tab.
    Nope. :(

    It's all good, though. The Kodi auto launcher addon works a treat. Plex loads instantly.
    Also, thanks for your efforts. I'm finally happy with how I access and consume my media.

    *Edit: auto-launch fixed. I had been accessing the wrong settings. I've found the correct in-app settings. :oops:

    I just got this working the other day after figuring out the mappings with my Plex Server running in a docker container. Does this app support any Plex Pass features like sorting by genre and showing plex collections under a separate tab?

    I don't think you can display all the genre's, you can only select one genre at a time. There is a collections tab. You get it to by going to the middle option in the top right of the library page. Normally the "Movies" tab is selected but you can choose "Collections" or "Folders". If you want more details, this is just a fork of PM4K(https://forums.plex.tv/t/pm4k-plexmod-for-kodi-18-19-20-21-22/481208).

    Hello,

    Thank you already! Everything works correctly, except that I have no image of all the menu, folder and film is this normal?

    I have the version of 1.0.5d_zidoo_1

    And zdmc 20.2. And I'm on a ziddo 9x 8k

    In any case, thank you again!
