Any tip ?
Thanks
Would it be possible to offer some kind of 'alias' list?
For example, I have albums from a band named "Gotthard" in my collection. But when I ask Homey to play Gotthard, it consistently hears "got hard"... I would love to be able to make a list of aliases, where I can specify that when Homey hears "got hard", it should be interpreted as "Gotthard" instead.
1) Install app
2) Go to the settings page - Plex app
3) Click the 'Start PIN process' button (then login to plex.tv and goto plex.tv/pin, enter the PIN
4) Go back to the settings page and you should see one or more PMS servers there, click the 'select' button next to your PMS server
5) Now go to devices and add a device, choose your driver and select your player
Seeing it is not yet active in the App store, are you using athom-cli to install? If yes, do you see any errors in the output?
@Bumblez - The Plex app does not (yet) support playing music. This might be a feature I can add later, but seeing there are already some music apps available for Homey, I considered it a lower prio. Also, the internal Plex format for music is very different than that for movies/series so it would take some effort to support.
Having said that, an alias list is not a bad idea - as the same problem occurs with some movie titles (i.e. titles that contain made up words). This is the real challenge in the speech recognition logic.
A work around (which currently is implemented for the Plex app) is to rename your device to the Zone it is in (i.e. 'Kitchen') and then the device is actually returned in the speech result devices array.
And I definitely hope you will add music support. To me, music support is even more important than video support.
The music apps that exist, are mainly focused on streaming music from external sources (like iTunes, YouTube, Soundcloud). I have a large CD collection (yeah, I'm oldfashioned, I still buy actual CDs!) that I ripped and that's on my own (Drobo) NAS running Plex. Being able to tell Homey to play a certain album/track from my NAS, with the sound going to my stereo set, would be awesome.
(unfortunately, there is no Kodi app available for the Drobo, so that's not really an option for me, unless I set up another - separate - server)
Did install it from git yes , will take a look at the output when i come home.
this is how it look now :
Edit : did have some problem installing it last night , some wifi problem at home ! can it be that it did not install correct ?
You could retry by hitting the 'reset settings' button and re-do the pin procedure. You also need to allow Plex to be remotely accessible (you can do that from you plex settings page in plex itself.
Another check you could run: make sure you have a browser window that is logged in to Plex.tv and then visit https://plex.tv/devices.xml - that should give you an XML result. Now look for a device that has a "provides="server" attribute. That should be your server. If this doesn't show, than your plex.tv account isn't connected to your server.
Let me know how you get on.
Great to see it in the store! Tried installing it from work. connecting with plex.tv worked flawlessly! Having trouble with adding the chromecast as player but can not troubleshoot easily from this distance
3) Goto Plex.tv -> Settings -> Server (advanced view) -> Network and make sure the 'Secure Connections' dropdown is set to 'Preferred' and NOT required.
found some comment in youre code sugesting it's handeld by a driver so i have a look at properly setting up a plex player so i can add it as a appliance
The easiest way to check now, it to add a device (player) - and go the flows. Than drag the device (left columns, all the way to the bottom) to the 'Then' column. Then search for media, it should show results from you media server.
Or just ask homey to watch something :-)
Let me know how you get on okay?
I really need to beef up my detection logic to make it more reliable. Could you try other movies?
I think 95% of my movies are mkv as well and most of what I tested runs fine. Some start very quickly, others take a bit longer to transcode..
Any idea on how I can debug this further?
Can you see in the debug window what the IP is that Homey wants to connect to? Is that IP in your local network range?
