Support plex home theater

2013 · 1 reply · Features

This thread is a feature request from 2013, preserved from the original Roomie Remote forum. It reflects what users were asking for at the time — many requests from this era have since shipped in Roomie Remote X. See current compatibility for today's device support.

In short

As of today, the new plex home theater has been released to the public. Would be nice to have official support. — Staff replied: “This looks pretty good as is. Certainly, for control, it works well. It auto-discovers as XBMC which is good because the old Plex support is way behind our latest XBMC support.”

As of today, the new plex home theater has been released to the public. Would be nice to have official support. I believe the new control is similar to latest xbmc. I'm not sure if you can integrate with the plex media server for the guide but hard be nice

This looks pretty good as is. Certainly, for control, it works well. It auto-discovers as XBMC which is good because the old Plex support is way behind our latest XBMC support. In fact, Roomie's Media Guide even appears with PHT including the file browser.

A couple of things do not work with the release of PHT: keyboard commands and most of the Media Guide.

It's safe to say that we will enable the Media Guide to bring it up to the full-featured level of XBMC in the next release. From a control perspective though, it's working well now.

Thank you.
