bkastner 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2014 I give up... I've been Googling around and trying different launchers, but I can't figure out how to do what I am after - and I have to assume it's pretty basic and either I am searching for the wrong terms or just have no clue. I bought a ATV520E for my parents and have given them access to my video library via Plex. I have Plex installed, but would like the device to boot into Plex automatically. When I first start the device (running 4.2.2) I see Launcher or MyGica, and I've installed other launchers which show up on the menu, but with none of them can I seem to get Plex to autostart. I really want this to be as brainless for my parents as possible, but I am seriously at a loss on what I need to do here. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated - I've been banging my head against this for a couple of days now and it's driving me nuts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Try looking for an app called ¨STARTUP MANAGER¨in the Play Store, in there you should be able to choose apps to Auto Startup at the time you turn on your device. This should work for you.

bkastner 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2014 Thanks Justin. I resolved my issue. I installed "Autostart no root" and added Plex to the autostart list. Originally it would start Plex, but move it to the background. I added a 2 second delay to the start and now Plex is the last thing that boots and stays on screen, so life is good (at least on this front). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
