That sounds quite long! I see my commands from this device to the Player processed typically in under a second, and responses are processed typically in 1-2 seconds, up to about 4 seconds. What are you using to control things after the Device reports a new change?
As for the second RasPlex not working, You can check if it has unique key/ip/port combination in the devices endpoint from plex.tv if you pass it your X-Plex-Token or you are logged in already. If these look good you can remove the comment at the beginning of lines 329 and 764 to see all of the traffic that occurs in the Live Logging on the IDE. You can paste this data to me in a Private Message here and I can help you see what may be the issue.
First post, so go easy on the noob. Does this work with OpenPHT? Running on Windows 7 against PLEX running on Windows 10 on the same subnet.
All seems to setup OK, I see a bunch of hosts listed but playing with the various Command Targets and Timeline Status values available, nothing seems to work.
I canāt say that it has been tested for that. However, if it acts as a remote Plex Controller, than I do know that only one can be connected to send commands at a time.
From what I see in this source file, it should work, but there might be a configuration option that you need to set in order to enable this control.
Have you tried the official Plex Media Player App as a possible alternative?
I was hoping to be able to use this to trigger a routine when I start playing a Movie. While I can see in the Device that Playback Type has changed to āMovie,ā it seems that only TrackData and TrackDescription are available to me in CoRE.
I see that PlaybackType isnāt set as an attribute in the DTH, would that be easy to do?
@mbaran5, please message me more logs, and ensure that you have both my SmartApp and Device Type Handler loaded and published. That error message doesnāt quite look like it came from my current instance.
I watch videos on an Android TV using the Archos app which connects to the Plex server (seen as a UPnP Media Server), which is on a windows 10 machine. So I donāt really use a client (or do I?!), and on the windows Plex page it shows video played on āgenericā. Can I still use this app? Canāt I just set the app / events based on what happens on the server, rather than the clients? Thnaks.
@diodorus - sorry just seen your post hereā¦ I donāt think that this will work on this app as Iām not sure it appears as a device in Plex, but I think you are already progressing with PlexPlus anywayā¦
They should be exactly the same, you can see above that @ph4r is linking to this version as the latest and the code does indeed contain my webhooks codeā¦ however donāt forget you need to update Plex with the new ID if you have re-installed the app and if you havenāt I would double check it has not changedā¦
The Dropbox and GitHub of my releases are the same and the latest code. I still use it weekly across both an AppleTV4 and Plex Media Player on a Windows 10 PC. I see that Dropbox changed the format of their public folder links, but since GitHub is up to date Iāll not re-post the Dropbox.
I donāt have one to test, but I believe that it advertises as a player so it should. If you can control the playback from the Plex App on iOS or Android once you start the media than it should work.
Iād say give it a go and let us know your results? If you have any issues, we can discuss how to send some logs for me to improve itās functionality.
The OP SmartApp does not list chromecasts as a device hence why I ask. It does list my cellphone but when I start plex casting it does not detect that is playing.
