App summary

Dispatch is a new launcher for Android TV that integrates with your existing media from Plex.

Dispatch can be used to connect to your existing Plex library and browser your content in a unified, modern, and feed based interface.

Please note that Dispatch does not stream, download, or acquire any movies or TV shows on its own. It merely acts as a portal to your existing media library.

This app can optionally use Accessibility services if you choose to do so:
Accessibility is used to:
• Detect hardware remote control button presses, in order to customize button actions
• Detect foreground app name, in order to help redirect the user to the selected home experience

Accessibility access is not used to view what you type. No personal data is collected or shared through this service, which is only used locally to serve the above purposes. Accessibility access is completely optional, and users can continue using the app without enabling it.

It's one of the better Android TV launchers that I've come across, especially if you rely on a Plex server. I enjoyed the free trial. I'm just not willing to pay €10 for an unstable app that is still in beta. Since the trail is over, I have no idea whether it will ever be worth this investment since I can no longer access it. A shame

I really like it. However, I have my libraries all set to 'use original language' for Metadata and this launcher uses the localized versions for the thumb nails (if you select it the original title appears in the tool tip thing that appears). Sure wish it showed only original

Love the idea. Need profiles to actually see if it works
