Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.

Common questions

Does FlexTV offer a hosted version for people who do not want to manage a web server?

Yes, a web-only hosted version is available, and it runs the same code base as the self-hosted version.

Can FlexTV control Chromecast devices?

A Plex Media Server plugin lets FlexTV bridge Plex Media Server and Cast devices.

Is the current FlexTV branch stable?

The current branch is in beta development, so its code and features may change.

Does FlexTV work when Plex is not on the local network?

Remotely hosted Plex can cause problems because most plugins assume Plex is on the same network. One user found a local FlexTV instance with a remote Plex connected through IFTTT to be the easiest setup.
