I use the Plex app on my CCwGTV and it's great, is this the app you're referring to?
Yes. I actually haven't really used it in the past month or so because I've been using Kodi locally, but I put up with bugs for 3 years, at least. For example, subtitles just dying, and files refusing to play. It got so bad, I setup a home assistant script that used adb_command to force kill and restart the Plex app. I could say "hey Google, piece of trash" whenever subtitles fully just stopped working, or it hung randomly, or whatever. My blood pressure has gone down significantly since switching to Kodi, but I keep pms running for mobile and web.
I've had heaps of issues with transcoding, possibly because some of my hardware is old, but since using tdarr to transcode my library to something the CCwGTV can play directly is mostly smooth sailing.
