Ratings and Reviews
Essential app for Plex users and stats nerds
Varys is a must have app for any Plex user who wants to manage their server and dive into stats and media details. Came to this from the developer's Tautulli remote app and it has now surpassed that. I can get all the details and history accuracy of Tautulli and server admin features of Plex Dash all in one app! Every time I think of a useful feature the dev adds it before I even get around to requesting it! Keeps getting better. The Tautulli single history mode in the latest update is a killer feature for me. Thanks!
Would be perfect if not for the fact that stream count notifications don’t work
Love Tautulli and will continue to use this app, as it does have a few upgrades over the old Tautulli remote app, such as vastly improved user management. But it tries to use app notifications to communicate the number of streams running on the server, which is an awesome idea in theory as I love catching a glimpse of how many streams are running without opening the app. But in practice it falls short of the mark, and unfortunately doesn’t update anywhere remotely regularly enough to actually be useful. I often find two or three notifications on the app so I open it to see what streams are running, only to find that all streams had finished and the server is idle. This doesn’t work as intended, and it’s starting to feel a little frustrating.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for your feedback! I'm sorry but this background updating is controlled by the system, I can't enforce it or schedule it myself. Please note the hint text for this feature:
The application badge will be refreshed in background. iOS will determine when and how often this will happen based on battery charge, network availability and your individual usage of the system and the app. The app cannot affect the interval, but in average the application badge should be updated every 10 to 30 minutes.
Best in Class
Got this on a whim cos it looked OK. Free trial to try out the pro features… Turns out this is easily the best monitor app available for your Plex.
Has everything one could need. Integrates with Tautulli also. Server graphs. Charts, user stats - this is robust and the one time fee to unlock the full app is an absolute steal.
My free trial run out and I purchased immediately. Give it a try, it’s honestly fantastic. Blows Plex Dash out of the water really. 🤔
