    Likely making a pull request / merge isn't ideal if he plans a rewrite. Wouldn't make sense. Good luck @warting and thanks for helping out!

    I have cloned the project, made some major changes and got everything working. And since I got some time over and is pretty passionated of homey and plex I will create my own app out of it and try support it from all my heart! <3

    Hope you don't mind mike :)
    Why not just pull/merge the original and let @MikeOne update the app so users get a message there is an update :) You can be also known as developer for the app page (can be put in the app.json)
    I don't care much of "beeing known as developer" I know from experience abandoned project even sometimes don't have time for watching pull requests. So it's easier beeing the owner of a project to move fast forward.

    Good point but then better ask @MikeOne if he is okay that you take over if he is abandoning the app, so users just get an update instead of a new app or more plex apps in the app store that gets confusing (Athom can arrange this if both agree) :) Don't get me wrong you do a good job but i'm just looking at the users that are less known about apps

    I'm sure he already said he doesn't have time, and tbh, the current nodejs Plex library is bloated and cpu / mem intensive, so we could call this Plex V2 (I also need to update my notification only app to a new lib and V2).

    Hey man, sure I don't mind, I'm happy to let this app go for the sake of the community. I already requested Athom to remove my Plex app (no reply yet, unsurprisingly). I recommend you contact Athom yourself and ask them if they can 'replace' my app with yours so people can potentially automatically update my app with yours. If I need to take other actions to allow for a smooth transition, let me know.

    I tried upload the new plex to alpha channel, but new apps is not allowed on SDK 1. So rewrite to SDK 2 is in progress.

  • rosrobrosrob Member
    so where to find the github or download from @warting with the working plex :) ?
  • Flight777Flight777 Member
    Wondering the same thing, shame there is no working Plex app anymore for Homey, one of the reasons I bought it <span>:neutral:</span>
  • phbphb Member
    @rosrob you have to ask @warting if he can upload a working plex app, it don't  know why he removed  it from git hub,  maybe  still rewriting  to sdk 2
  • phbphb Member
    @warting Did you already finish  the plex app?'
  • phbphb Member
    @warting ; still working  on a  sdk2  version? 
  • pimdeventepimdevente Member
    Seconding this, really looking forward to some Plex on Homey! Got my Homey this Christmas :-)
  • rosrobrosrob Member
    i hope someone is still working on this... this would be great!

    I've created a new topic to try and get new developers into this project for a PLEX 2.0 app with a reward program!

  • phbphb Member
    Seconding this, my plex version still works most of the time. It is a sdk1 version. But would also like a PLEX  2.0 version 

  • megardtmegardt Member
    I'm using this version to turn down the lights when plex starts playing - however it also turns down the lights when someone external starts playing from my plex. Can this be filtered?
  • phbphb Member
    @megardt what you are using now is not the original plex app but the plex notify app
  • megardtmegardt Member
    Ahh, sorry
