Description
Demolish the tyranny of too much choice, say "NO" to BigAlgo, and just Relax with Coax.
Within seconds, you'll be flipping through a schedule made entirely of your own Plex Media Server content. Jump right in with the on-screen cable guide and watch whatever's on, just like the old days.
You can't pause, you can't skip forward, you can't rewind - all you can do is change the channel. Experience the joy of randomly happening upon a great scene in a movie you forgot you had, or a TV show marathon for an old favorite.
Coax requires no setup at all - it uses the metadata your media library already has. If you want, you can create your own custom Lineups, with all sorts of simple yet powerful scheduling rules - create a Saturday Morning Cartoons Lineup for your inner (or actual) child, or a Late Night Thrillers Lineup for date night.
Important: This app requires a Plex account and access to a Plex Media Server. Coax does not provide or distribute any media; it only connects to content you already own.
How to configure your Lineups:
• Coax scans your Plex libraries and generates a channel guide based on your content’s metadata.
• Select which channel categories you want: Genre, Decade, Recent Additions, Actor, Studio, Director, and Collections.
• Create 100% custom channels using Plex Collections.
• Unify your libraries to mix TV and movie channels.
• Adjust the number of channels you want to generate.
• Customize the time between your programs with Gap Content - play Trailers, or content from another Library if you want!
Coax is your personal “cable box” for your own content — no extra accounts, no third-party streaming, just your Plex library organized in a fun, nostalgic way.

Nouveautés (v1.2.5)
• Managed Profiles & User Switching: Added support for multi-user profiles, user switching, per-user age caps, and a "Resuming-as" banner.
• Enhanced Playback Engine & 4K Optimization:Tuned buffering for faster 4K cold-starts, better transcoding session rotation to stop so many "Stream Failed" situations.
• Audio Lip-Sync & Container Fixes: Forced an audio transcode mitigation for MKV + Dolby Digital files to eliminate lip-sync drift.
• Smart Subtitle Burn-in: Improved rendering and forced subtitle burn-in for complex ASS/SSA subtitle tracks.
• Buffering Screen + Message: Added a patient buffering overlay that cycles through movie quotes on slow connections before a stream fails.
• Persistent Volume Control: Your volume selection now persists across app launches and stays synced when closing or reopening the guide.
• Stream Options Breakdown: Added a per-column delivery status view showing precise reasons why a stream is transcoding or burning subtitles.
• Manual Media Stream Selection: If you want to force a specific version of a media item to play, you can do that now (auto-select still works, but you can override it with this).
