Jinge - Jungle Binge

Jinge creates a non-stop playing linear TV channel from your personal Plex Library.

Why do you need this?

Let say you have a huge library of TV shows and you want to watch some shows once in a while, but you don't want to choose a specific show, season or episode - you just want something to be played, just like on your TV - but with your personal and favorites shows.

Main Features:

- Auto-generation of random TV show list - each show will have two consecutive episodes (starting some random season and episode)

- Infinite Playback - after the last episode of a season - comes the first episode from the next season, after the last episode of a show, comes the first episode of the show and go on.

- Manual navigation during playback - the generated list will continue from there.

- Endless play - no matter what happens - whenever your Plex server restarts or your home network dies, Jinge will never stop, it will wait until the Plex library will be available and will continue playing automatically.

Setup

1. Your Android TV device and your Plex server must be in the same home network.

2. Launch Jinge on your Android TV - Click "Setup" and then enter your Plex server host address on the "Host" field. you can leave "Port" empty if you are using the default one (32400).

3. Click "Back" and then "Done".

4. On the first time you connect Plex into Jinge, you'll be prompted with a PIN code to authenticate with PLEX.

5. Go to https://plex.tv/link on your PC or mobile, connect with your Plex credentials and enter the 4 letters PIN code there.

6. Your Jinge TV channel will start automatically. Enjoy.
