  • phbphb Member

    Hi guys, my apologies for the silence. Due to personal circumstances, I have not been able to spend any time on the app lately. I'm seeing light at the end of the tunnel though and I expect to be able to do some coding on this from the second week of January.

    On another point, I would love it if another interested coder with some solid javascript skills could collaborate on this project. That would certainly help in addressing issues quicker and adding more functionality to this app.

    Did you already look at the chromecast bug? As soon as you want to start a movie on chromecast the app crashes. Seems to be a problem in the chromecast name being the same as the zone name

    Hi All,

    I have just bought an Homey and I am a newbie here.

    I do not have a technical background, so please be aware of this, and do not answer my question with too much technical stuff.
    I have downloaded the Plex app and followed the installation steps as described below this post message.
    I have Plex server running on my Android Shield TV, in my Homey settings I see that the Plex app is connected to my Android Shield tv.

    My Questions:
    1) Can you please explain/ describe to me in detail the next step what I must do in order to use the Plex app with Homey. I have tried the speech commands , but nothing happends.
    2) Is it possible that one of you record a youtube "instruction video for dummies" to explain everything how to get Plex app working with  Homey.
    3) are flows needed to get things working, I really do not know how to use the Plexx app in the flows. Please explain

    I am completely lost. Help is very much appreciated in this.

    Thank you in advance.

    Step-By-Step Installation:

    • 1) Install the App on your Homey.
    • 2) Configure your Plex Media Server to allow remote access
    • 3) Goto Plex.tv -> Settings -> Server (advanced view) -> Network and make sure the 'Secure Connections' dropdown is set to 'Preferred' and NOT required.
    • 4) Open een browser window en log into plex.tv
    • 5) Go to the Homey page - Settings - Plex (left column)
    • 6) Click the 'Start Pin Process' button, remember the PIN and go to plex.tv/pin to enter it.
    • 7) Go back to the Homey settings page. You should see your available PMS servers, click 'use this connection' button next to the connection you want to use. If it cannot connect with your choosen connection, it will turn red.
    • 8) The Homey Plex app will now analyze your media and cache all relevant media keys for speech recognition (this might take a minute)
    • 9) Now go to the 'Devices' page on the Homey and add a device in a Zone. Select Plex, your needed Driver and pick your device.
    • 10) Homey Plex should now be ready to receive voice commands!
    • 11) Enjoy watching.


    Hi @MikeOne, 
    Can you please give me some feedback on my questions? 

    Thanks!

    App not crashing? Did you add a receiver under devices? I use it with crhomecast and the app crashes, dont know if Android Shield TV also behaves like a chromecast?
  • phbphb Member
    @MikeOne  Any progress Mike?
  • MikeOneMikeOne Member
    Yes! I located the issue (I think) and re-submitted the app for approval. Unfortunately, Athom changed the interface of the SpeechObject and failed to notify me about this fact... And that broke the app..
  • MikeOneMikeOne Member
    Once you have version 1.2.1 installed, please report any issues here. I'll do my best to address them over the coming weeks. I still do not have a lot of available time, but I'll do my best.

    Also - if there are any Javascript developers out here - please feel welcome to join the open source efforts and also help to code a bit.

    That can't be the issue then :-)
    if I have some more time I'll suggest some tests.
  • phbphb Member
