The URL for PMS uses the local IP as shown in settings, however, there might be more IP's available for your PMS machine (ethernet, wifi etc). So it might not choose the correct one. Secondly, the PMS streaming url uses a loopback address to connect…
-
Yes, but that might use another IP address..
-
@Imko did you manage to get it working with your PHT?
-
@MennoVanGrinsven - maybe we should have a look at your network? ChromeCast will try to connect to your PMS using the IP address (the local one) as shown on the (Homey Plex) settings page. Would there be any reason why your chromecast would be unab…
-
Probably not silly at all :-) Yes it is on my list of things to investigate.. The challenge though is that Homey is just the intermediate so it simply gives a device (ChromeCast in this case) a URL and it is up to the device to then contact that de…
-
I'm sorry, there isn't yet. I'm pretty limited on time at the moment, plus, I need to be able to reproduce this issue in order for me to find out what is going on. Seeing it does seem to be able to contact plex, understand the voice command and send…
-
Correct @DieterKoblenz, samsung doesn't allow it it seems. Only option is a chromecast for now. Maybe in the near future it will be possible though. I hope so as it's my main player as well..
-
Ah, missed that. No PHT works! There are some things no note. The PHT instance needs to be loggedin with your PMS and it needs to be running. Did you try it with a voice command? "Okay Homey, watch minions"
-
Yes, I'm missing the install device step in your steps @Imko
-
Thanks @jorden
-
Not sure what it is, I tried a lot of movies from my library and 95% runs without a hitch.. i need your specific scenarios so I can reproduce this issue. is there anyone here that does have a working chromecast setup? btw, I just publised 1.0.5 i…
-
It is slightly strange as the blue bar indicates it does try to play the movie. In other words, at that point it is between pms and the chromecast to sort it out. Homey is no longer involved. the new version has just been approved btw. Reboot homey…
-
So @phb , what exactly is and isn't working for you? Did you also follow the install steps on the first post of this forum thread?
-
Just in case you din't realize, you will *also* need to add your chromecasts as a Plex Driver. So even though you might have added them for the Homey Chromecast app, you also need to add them for Plex (in the devices window).
-
Yeah, that doesn't help :-)
-
That doesn't sound right. Indexing a library of a 1000 items takes about 10 seconds. if it was set to english, say: okay homey, refresh media (media updaten ofzo?) unless of course your PMS connection isn't working?
-
It means the media cache is empty. Hmm... but you are able to play stuff sometimes? In that case, it is probably the auto-refresh that is maybe running too often (or you accidentally got unlucky). There is an interval (every 30 min) - that refreshe…
-
Well, as I mentioned before, no guarantees for dutch :-) I'm not sure what I'm looking at here? You should go to /manager/zones/ page, find your device, click the name and name it as explained. Than you *should* (again, not sure about dutch) be abl…
-
Actually, now I think about it, you can't actually use a flow to do this. You could if you have for example one chromecast and one PHT (as this will give you two devices in the flow editor) - but not with two devices of the same (driver) type. As I…
-
Hey @MennoVanGrinsven , you don't need a flow, this can be done with voice only. You are probably now in a situation that it will only play on one chromecast, this is simply the first chromecast it will find in it's array of devices. Now there is a…
-
Oh.. And as a PS.. There is an update in the way 1.0.3, that forces local pms access instread of using the remote IP (as 1.0.1 does). In case your problem is not related to transcoding, this might actually help you...
-
Hi @John , I'm not sure about this one. @posthok confirmed that it is working on his synology, however, he didn't say which player he's got. The issue in this case might be chromecast. Because I'm using a non-optimised universal transcoding to offe…
-
Good to hear!
-
@TedTolboom , I guess it is probably technically possible, however, not very easy to do. Plex is pretty picky on what players it allows to connect. It does that by pairing players with PMS's through plex.tv using access tokens. I'm sure it can be do…
-
technically, only the players need to be accesible locally for Homey. With Plex remote access enabled, the PMS can also be somewhere on the internet. Although remote access has now been disabled until I get a chance to make the settings page better.…
-
Ah cool! I really hoped that was (at least part of) the problem! I'll update the installation steps to reflect that setting!
-
Okay, for everyone that is seeing socket hangups or ECONNREFUSED errors, make sure that 1) Your server is fully accessible from the outside (green checkmark next to remote access in Plex Server settings on plex.tv) 2) You server does NOT REQUIRE h…
-
The interesting bit is what comes after this @Panda .. Ones it reaches this, you should see the server on the settings screen, hit select and it should index your plex media..
-
Yes that might be easier. No time for the rest of the day though, I'll ping you this evening hopefully!
-
@DennieDeGroot, from another machine on the same network (not the PMS machine) - can you actually open a browser window and go to http://PMS.ip.addr.ess:32400/ (where PMS IP address is the same as the one showing on the settings page) ? You should …
