Trailers as you browse
Settle on a title and its trailer fades in behind the logo – then a Trailer button on every detail page plays it full screen.
For Plex on Fire TV & Android TV
Your Plex library, finally cinematic.
DizzyFlix presents your own movies and shows the way a streaming service would – trailers that play as you browse, title logos, ratings, actor pages and Skip Intro – all driven from your TV remote.
Coming soon to the Amazon Appstore
Made for the big screen
Every screen is designed for a TV ten feet away and a remote in your hand.
Everything you'd expect. Plus a few things you wouldn't.
DizzyFlix plays straight from your own Plex Media Server – it just makes it look and feel the way it deserves to.
A streaming-style home
Big title logos, then rows for Continue Watching, Next Up, Just Added and your collections and playlists – without the same few titles repeated everywhere.
Ratings – yours too
IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes and TMDb scores on every title, plus your own star rating, saved back to Plex.
Actor pages
Press anyone in the cast for their biography and everything they’re in across your library, with the character they played.
100+ smart collections
Genres, decades, countries, studios and networks – flip a switch and DizzyFlix builds a real, self-updating collection in Plex.
Skip Intro & Up Next
Skip intros and credits, jump by chapter, roll into the next episode – and get suggestions the moment a film ends.
Built for the remote
Every screen is designed around the D-pad, and the play/pause, rewind and fast-forward buttons always do what you expect.
Live and in sync
New additions appear on their own, and watch progress goes straight back to your server so you can pick up anywhere.
Remembers your tracks
Your audio and subtitle choices are saved to Plex per title, so they’re already set next time – on any device.
Trailers
The poster comes to life.
Rest on a film or show for a moment and its trailer quietly takes over the backdrop, right behind the title logo – just like the big streaming services. It fades back to the artwork when it ends.
- Muted and unobtrusive – it never talks over you while you browse.
- Full screen on demand – press Trailer on any detail page.
Actor pages
Follow the cast.
Press anyone in the cast to open their page: portrait, biography, where they were born, and every film and show they’re in across your library – each labelled with the character they played.
- Best work first – sorted by rating, with its artwork as the backdrop.
- One press away – jump straight into any title.
Smart collections
Rows that build themselves.
Pick from over 100 ready-made collections and DizzyFlix creates them as real smart collections on your Plex server – they keep themselves up to date as you add more.
- Genres & eras – from Drama and Sci-Fi to 80s Classics and Modern Classics.
- Countries & studios – British TV, Korean Cinema, Studio Ghibli, A24…
- Networks – Netflix, HBO, Apple TV+, BBC One and dozens more.
Your whole household
Works on shared servers too.
Watching from a server a friend or family member shared with you? DizzyFlix connects with the right access automatically and puts the server you own first if you have more than one.

- Everyone else just enjoys the rows.

Questions
Is DizzyFlix made by Plex?
No. DizzyFlix is an independent app that connects to your own Plex Media Server. It isn't affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Plex, Inc.
Does it come with any films or shows?
No – DizzyFlix plays the media on your own Plex server, or one that's been shared with you. It doesn't provide or sell any content.
Which devices does it run on?
Amazon Fire TV devices and Android TV / Google TV devices running Android 7.0 or later.
Can I use it with a server someone shared with me?
Yes. You can browse and watch everything you've been given access to. Only the server's owner can change its smart collections – that's a Plex rule – so for you they're read-only.
Do I need a Plex Pass?
Not to use DizzyFlix – browsing and watching at home works with a free Plex account. A few features depend on Plex Pass on the Plex side:
- Trailers – Plex adds them to your library automatically when the server owner has a Plex Pass.
- Skip Intro and Skip Credits – intro and credit detection is a Plex Pass server feature.
- Watching away from home – streaming from a server outside your home network needs either the server owner's Plex Pass or the viewer's Plex Remote Watch Pass.
These are Plex rules that apply to every Plex app, not something DizzyFlix adds.
Why don't all titles have trailers?
Trailers come from your Plex server's extras. Plex adds them to your library automatically when the server owner has a Plex Pass, and you can also add your own trailer files. Titles without one simply show their artwork.
Why doesn't Skip Intro appear on everything?
DizzyFlix shows Skip Intro and Skip Credits wherever your Plex server has detected them. Intro and credit detection is a Plex Pass feature of Plex Media Server, so it needs the server owner to have a Plex Pass with detection turned on – and works on any title the server has analysed.
What does DizzyFlix do with my data?
Very little. It stores your Plex sign-in on your TV and talks only to Plex and your own server. There are no ads, analytics or trackers. The full details are in the privacy policy.
How do I sign out?
Open Settings (the gear icon at the top right) and choose Sign out in the top-right corner.
Make movie night look the part.
DizzyFlix is coming soon to the Amazon Appstore for Fire TV.
