ANDROID XR NATIVE

  • Automatic stereo format detection (SBS, TB, MV-HEVC)
  • Screen presets: Small, Medium, Large, Ultrawide, IMAX
  • 14 color themes with live palette previews

AI Assistant
Your library. Your taste.
Your personal media concierge.

Free with Gemini — no credit card, no cost. Or connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. IdlePlay sends your library metadata to get genuinely personal recommendations.

“What should I watch tonight?”

The AI knows your entire library and complete watch history. It won’t recommend trending content you can’t watch — it picks from what you actually have, and explains why based on your taste.

  • Mood-based recommendations from your library
  • Natural language search: “that movie with the spinning top”
  • Watch pattern insights and analytics
  • Movie Night planner with runtime math
  • “Continue or drop?” advisor for abandoned shows
  • Library health check: duplicates, missing sequels

Something intense for tonight, maybe 2 hours
Based on your Ozark binge and the fact you rated Sicario ★4.5, I’d go with 🎬 No Country for Old Men — it’s been sitting unwatched in your Plex library. Same tense, atmospheric quality. 2h 2m runtime fits perfectly.

If you want TV instead, you have 3 episodes of 📺 True Detective S1 left — about 3h total.
What about something my wife would like too?
🎬 Arrival (2016) — you watched Interstellar 3 times, and this has the same cerebral sci-fi feel but with a strong emotional core. 1h 56m. It’s in your Jellyfin 4K library.
