SailStream for Plex — Unofficial Plex Client

SailStream is a native app built using Silica components for streaming your personal Plex media collections on Sailfish OS.

Features

  • Stream Your Libraries: Access and play your Movies, TV Shows, and music libraries from your Plex Media Server.
  • Plex Home Support: Switch between different user profiles in your Plex Home, with full profile PIN authentication support.
  • Interactive App Covers: Shows the poster art of the currently playing movie or episode directly on the home screen card, with a clean branding fallback when idle.
  • Dashboard Feeds: Live "Continue Watching" and "Recently Added" rows that load dynamically from your server.
  • Offline/Direct Connection: Connect directly to a local IP address with your personal X-Plex-Token, bypassing Plex.tv if you are offline.
  • GDM Discovery: Automatically find Plex servers on your local network.

Navigation & Controls

  • Pull-down Menu: On the dashboard, pull down to open the menu where you can access the Settings screen, open the global Search page, or trigger a manual library Refresh.
  • Flick Gestures: Glide through libraries, check cast profiles, see technical file information, and browse seasons or episodes.

Multi-Language Support

SailStream includes translations for:

  • English, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian
  • German, French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese
  • Polish, Russian, Slovak, Vietnamese
  • Japanese, Simplified Chinese

These were translated using google cloud translate. If you are a native speaker and would like to help improve the translations, send me a message.

Beta Notice

This app is currently in Beta. Core streaming, profile switching, search, and navigation should work fine, but some features are not fully implemented:

  • Metadata editing (such as editing tags, descriptions, or artwork) is currently limited and may be expanded in future releases.
  • Subtitle customization
  • More I forgot

Note: I do not actually own a sailfish phone. This was entirely developed using the i486 emulator so YMMV on a real device - hopefully it runs even better on one.

Hello, thank you for the app
Wonder if there is a way to change a server other than relogging in every time
Also, how do i contact you?i think i can provide you another translation :)

Np-

Not at the moment. I only use one server myself so I didn't know how common that was.

I can see about adding a "switch server" button to settings or something.

I believe you can just use the contact form here to message me directly about the translation. I'm new to the whole sailfish ecosystem/openrepos.

Hi, very happy to see a native plex client ! It seems to works, I was able to log in, see my videos libraries and launch a movie. But none of my audio libraries are show.

My inspiration for the design really came from the android plex app and it doesn't have music either, it is a separate app.

I may add support for it if it is possible and there is enough demand, I don't really use plex for music myself.

I understand, but I thought it was a bug as the description of the app say that music libraries should work.

Not using Plex, but can look through the Norwegian bokmål translations.

Nice, appreciate it. I use a web app for translations and I haven't decided if I want to give people access to that or just throw it up on github or something.

If you want to DM me your contact info, once I figure that out I'll let you know.
