Lamphouse · For Android
Your Plex server, at a glance.
See who is watching, what they are watching, and how each stream is playing, right from your phone.
Overview
Everything playing, in one look.
Lamphouse opens on your server's current sessions: how many there are, how each one is playing, and the bandwidth they use together.
Direct Play, Direct Stream and Transcoding each keep their own colour, so a stream that makes your server work harder stands out at once.

Activity
Every stream, easy to find.

Sessions
See exactly how it plays.
Open a session to see the file, what the server sends instead when it transcodes, the bandwidth, whether hardware transcoding is on, and how fast the server is keeping up.

Home and away
On the sofa or across town.
Lamphouse works out how to reach your server wherever you are, so the numbers keep coming when you leave the house.
Finds the best address
At home Lamphouse uses your server's local address, and away from home it uses the one Plex publishes for Remote Access.
Switches by itself
When an address stops answering, Lamphouse tries the next one and carries on, without asking you to sign in again.
Secure connections only
Lamphouse talks to Plex and your server over HTTPS, and refuses servers whose certificates cannot be trusted.
One quiet ad
Free, with one card at the end.
When Lamphouse is connected to your server, a single sponsored card sits at the end of Overview, below everything you came to see. Ads are never personalised, and there are none in sample mode.
Remove ads is a one-time purchase through Google Play that hides the card for good and supports Lamphouse's development. It is A$6.99 in Australia, and your local price shows before you buy.
Sign in on Plex
You sign in on Plex's own website, so Lamphouse never sees your password. Your sign-in is encrypted on your phone.
Nothing sent to us
Lamphouse talks to your server directly. What is playing, and who is watching, stays on your phone. We run no servers.
Try it with sample data
Explore every screen with an illustrative server before you sign in, then connect your own when you are ready.
