Our messages crossed 
Just remove the bulbs, if you donât want to control bulbs, leave the levels in⊠they just wonât control anythingâŠ
hmm does that mean a specific harmony activity can report as a switch not any activity
hey I figured out how to eliminate the app from controlling light while keeping update device on. however in webcore when I select the device and say if status is equal to a value no preset choices come into the drop down menu of status values. I had to manually type in stopped, paused, and playing which I got from the app itself
so I assume those are the statuses. after trying to run the piston nothing happens with the lights so Iâm thinking the problem maybe how the script is written. should I be selecting something else besides status for the if clause? the choices are (level, mute, status, track data, track description, $status)
here is the piston
Yes it does, I see your issueâŠ
I can set it only to work when the switch is off, I can just add another field, will do in a bit
oh that would be great than I could eliminate the need for webcore for this .
hey thank you for your help, Ive solved the problem and used solely your smart app no web core needed if you havenât already started to amend the app donât worry about it, but I really appreciate you were willing to make a change just for me.
After you mentioned that I could disable the app running a certain activity I just created a new harmony activity that I will run when I donât want your app to be in effect.
Now everything works perfectly. Thank you again for your contribution and support
Cool, no worries sorry got a bit side tracked last night, so didnât put out the update yet, may still do it anyway, someone might find it useful!
Hi!
Thanks for this. I have two issues:
-
When using a âGenericâ player, PLAY and STOP are detected, but not PAUSE. (Note that PAUSE is however detected when I tried using, on the same server, the âPlex Web (Chrome)â player instead)
-
Neither players will anyway activate lights: âLast Eventâ does show in the app, but hasnât triggered the lights to change. I read the suggestion to check the Room config⊠but what can be wrong there? Thereâs not much to config, or am I missing something?
Thanks!
Hi,
Need a bit more infoâŠ
Are you using webhooks or the exe?
For point 1 you will be dependant on what the device actually reports, webhooks I have found can be a little more vague about status⊠if you are using the exe then can you let me know the actual device you are playing on?
For point 2 you need to make sure the device name or ip in the logs matches exactly that in the settings page.
Check that and report back!
-
Using the exe on Win 10, where the Plex server is. Watching on Sony Bravia Android TV, using the Archos app (UPnP Plex Media Server sub-menu).
-
OK, I fixed this. I was using â", I thought that was allowed. I now changed from "â to my Plex username, and I get light reactions (apart from the PAUSE on the generic player, see above)
Thanks!
No you canât use ââ but you can use *
Iâm not going to be able to replicate your issue until some time next week as Iâm away, but I expect the problem is that however the Archos app works, I assume via DLNA, that this does not fully report back to the server, if I can replicate via an android tablet then I will confirm, but if you are not seeing pause in the logging plex is not reporting it⊠using the exe should report everything reliablyâŠ
-
Actually that was a typo in my previous message: with * it does not work in my case (I just tried again). Iâll stick to my username for now.
-
Ok, let me know if I can help / provide logs or additional info!
Thanks
Ahh OK, then looks like a bug with the *, Iâve never actually tested that as it was from the original codeâŠ
If you want to confirm the pause issue, then on your server go to this URL substituting your own token
http://localhost:32400/status/sessions?X-Plex-Token=abcxyzabcxyz
Youâll probably need to login to Plex first, but if the pause update is not shown here then there is very little that can be done I expectâŠ
- ok, you may want to add a comment in your troubleshooting about that
- yes, the XML shows âplayingâ when the DLNA / generic player is actually paused. Would you know whether I should raise this with PLEX or ARCHOS? (PLEX, I suppose? Not that I have many hopes anywayâŠ)
(By the way: thereâs no way to have the EXE hidden in the tray, right?)
Yeah Iâll just fix the app for the first issue
Itâs difficult to tell if itâs archos or Plex to be honest as there is more than one way to communicate, I suspect actually the arcos continuing the stream and then buffering it locally, it may eventually pause if you leave it long enough⊠if itâs a Plex issue I wouldnât even bother raising a ticket as from experience more important issues are not resolvedâŠ
You can force the app to the system tray using the below, unfortunaly I donât have the coding knowledge to do it myselfâŠ
New version added:
v3.7 - Fixed the use of wildcards
Also seems that the first post is now locked for editing⊠so I canât update with links to they tray app etcâŠ
So I am a newb to ST and I so appreciate this being made. I am running into an issue⊠I follow the instructions to get the token from this link âhttps://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/204059436-Finding-your-account-token-X-Plex-Tokenâ but I get âFailed to SendGetRequest: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.â. getting the XMl and what not as it mentions and coping and pasting it so I know itâs not a type-o.
I am an IT guy so its not lost on me entirely⊠I just donât know why this isnât working for me. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Hi Matt,
Sorry just on holiday in Croatia at the moment.
I take it you have managed to get the token and the error you are seeing is in the Plex2SmartThings exe? If so can you send me the config.config file over private message? (Iâve sent you a message as new users canât start private messages)
If not can you confirm where you are getting the error message?
Hey there. I managed to get it working. Complete noob mistake. I was using the api key from the smartthings site and not the app itself. Silly noob. Enjoy your vacation!
Haha no worries, glad you got it sorted, any other help you need let me know!
