So for now I can ask Homey the following:
OK Homey, watch the next episode of The Walking Dead
What the best option for series would be (for me personally) is:
me: Ok Homey, watch The Walking Dead
if multiple entries are found, otherwise just continue with the next question:
homey: Do you want to watch The Walking Dead The Movie in Movies (library) or The Walking Dead in Series (library title you've created)
me: The Walking Dead in Series please
homey: I've found a episode on deck, would you like to continue?
me: yes
or
homey: Previously played episode found, would you like to continue with the next?
me: yes
(well, the main speech trigger is 'watch')..
It might have something to do with what @Bumblez said. I'm sure @Emile and the team will keep an eye on that and tweak it to death so it becomes more and more reliable.
Question though, since I have been thinking about this app but wouldn't know how to start...
I have PMS installed on my Synology. I (mostly) watch on my Sony Android TV. How does that work? Will you send a command to the Synology to start and will I then have to open the Plex app on my Android TV for the movie to start?
Are you dutch? Ar you going to support other languages as well?
In my home setup I stream from my PMS to the 2nd generation Chromecast in my TV. Would this be possible for example in combination with the chromecast app for example?
Since the 5Ghz wifi support for chromecast it works really well as long as you stream x264 coded movies (or maybe also other formats if you have decent PMS hardware).
Does it also use a fuzzy lookup like the kodi app? I saw it was an open library supporting it.
At this moment I use the plex app on my Apple TV 4 for watching movies and series on my TV. Will this also work as smooth as in your demo?
Home Theater) is supported,
which isn't supported anymore officially by the PLEX team, only community brings updates.
PMP (PLEX Media Player) is the new client, which is still in beta and only can be used for now by Plex Pass members, like me.
I also have an ATV4 with Plex app, which is the main client in my family. And have a RPI2 with PMP in the master bedroom.
I really like to know if and or the ATV4 client will be supported @MikeOne ;
@MikeOne ; Do I need to make some special settings for this app to work? I was curious and wanted to take a look so I loaded the app into my Homey. I see something happening in the DEBUG when I say I want to watch a movie but nothing starts to play:

Any information about ATV4 Plex support?
After the first release is out, I welcome support from the community to start developing drivers for other players.
Just to know for myself, the PLEX app for Apple TV 4 is advertising itself as a client/player to PMS and other clients, is it possible to fling a video from PMS to the PLEX app for Apple TV 4 with the PLEX for Homey app? For example, from the IOS PLEX app you can start a video and fling it to an advertising client/player.
That would be a start. How to start an app on the ATV4, I wouldn't know. And ofcourse, how to use Home Users Pincodes in Plex
My priorities at the moment are:
1) Enable Homey 'Driver' and 'Flow' support, including media search in a flow card (80% there)
2) Make it work perfectly with PHT (90% there)
3) Release it to the App Store and start accepting Pull requests
4) Make a list of players that need supporting based on demand (I expect ChromeCast, PMP, ATV4 to be high on that list)
5) Make a list of features that need adding based on demand (like Home Users Pins, Music support, play continuation, shared server support etc).
6) Throw it out there for the community to add to the App.
