Plezy: Media Server Client

What is Plezy: Media Server Client?

Plezy: Media Server Client is an entertainment app for Android that connects to a media server you already run, so you can browse and play your own movies, shows, and other video files on your phone, tablet, or TV. It is developed by edde746 and listed on Google Play.

The app acts as a client. The library itself lives on your server, and the app handles browsing, playback, and downloads.

How does Plezy: Media Server Client work?

You point the app at your media server and sign in. Your library then appears in the app, organized the way your server presents it. Playback is handled on the device, and the app includes a player option based on MPV for broader format support.

Downloads let you keep copies of content for offline viewing, which is useful for flights or spotty connections.

What's new in version 2.23.0?

Version 2.23.0, last updated 2026-10-11, focuses on playback fixes and downloads. Dolby Vision content can now fall back to its HDR10 or HLG base layer on the MPV player when that is preferred. Xvid and MPEG-2 files now play on MPV, and several audio and playback stalls on Android TV and Fire TV were addressed.

On the download side, failed downloads can be retried in bulk, interrupted downloads resume rather than starting over, and offline content can be grouped into collections. Live TV playback now better matches the display's frame rate on MPV.

Requirements, size, and price

Plezy: Media Server Client requires Android 7.1 or later. It has more than 15,829 installs and a 4.4 out of 5 rating from 401 ratings on Google Play.

The app costs $5.99 to download. It contains no ads and offers no in-app purchases, so the listed price is the only cost shown on the store page. Check the Google Play listing for the current download size on your device.

Pros and cons

On the plus side, the app has no ads, no in-app purchases, and a clear one-time price. Recent updates add useful download recovery and broader codec support.

On the downside, the app is only useful if you already have a compatible media server set up, and it has a paid entry cost. Playback quality for some formats depends on which player option you choose and on your device's hardware.

Who is Plezy: Media Server Client for?

The app suits people who already host a personal media library and want a dedicated Android client for it, especially on TV boxes and streaming sticks. It is less suited to people who want free streaming catalogs or who have no server to connect to.
