Hi

I understand Simple can control Plex when it runs on a Mac (or PC, I presume). I was able to do that on my mac, with my media residing on a QNAP NAS.

However I mostly run plex on my aTV4, and was wondering if it can be done there? Both PMP and aTV has its own control, but...

on the same token, any way to control Netflix app on aTV (or mac?)

thanks

What we are compatible with is Plex Media Player and the old Plex Home Theater. Exactly which editions of their product Plex offers on each platform varies widely. I do know that nVidia Shield for instance is a full Plex Media Player client (in addition to most other platforms). I'm not sure if they have upgraded their ATV app yet.

Thank you.
