thats OK.
saved me the frustration of looking.
thanks for the help!
Question for you regarding the media scene app. So I have a set of accent lights right now that are setup as a simple rule to turn on at 4:30pm and off at 11:30pm. I have the media scene for my living room to turn off the accent lighting when a movie starts which works. However, if its after 11:30pm and the accent lighting was already off, and the movie starts, and then ends, the accent lighting is turned back on, even though it was already off before the movie began. And yes, I have the option selected to remember the switch state when playback ends. Thoughts on why it's turning on the switch that is set to off even though it was off before playback began? Anyway to get it to evaluate against another rule?
Are you seeing anything in the logs, it's likely that there's a bug, I haven't tested that feature since migrating from ST, so there is likely a difference required in the code between systems, from memory I think current state is called slightly differently, I might not be able to look myself until Monday..
Is there any logs for media scene? If so I’m not seeing any.
Apologies for the NOOB question but I am a total NOOB here. this is my first post EVER! I am a Wink Refugee dipping my toes into Hubitat for the first time. I was looking for Plex integrations and this is the only thread I have come across. I copied the parent and child Code from the Nov '18 post and created the apps for them but I am still trying to figure out the integration of the media player. Is there a step by step or how to on making this work? TIA for any responses.
Welcome to hubitat, everyone has to start somewhere!
Do you have Plex pass or free Plex? If pass then you need to setup your Plex server webhooks, otherwise you will need to poll for updates, how you do this is dependant on your setup.. what are you running Plex server on?
I do have plex pass and I'm running on Windows 10. I am unfamiliar with Webhooks but I have played with Zapier to make them work on Discord.
It should be as simple as copying the webhook URL from Plex communicator and pasting in to the Plex server.. it should then all just work..
Like I said total NOOB!
I didn't know what Plex Communicator was. I tried to copy the github code and create the app and driver but I received error messages.
I got this when I tried to create the Plex Communicator Device: "Metadata Error: Capability 'musicPlayer' not found."
I got this when I tried to create Plex Communicator App:"unable to resolve class physicalgraph.device.HubAction @ line 262, column 22."
I know what neither of these things are nor am I mentally equipped to correct them on my own. Is there a front to back installation guide or should I just leave this alone?
Hi: Another noob here...
I have taken the "parent" and "Child" code from the Nov 18 post. and added them both as apps. After that I am stuck...
I have plex pass so can use webhooks on my server but I cannot work out what the webhook should be from the app.
Open the app, press connection methods then press Plex webhook settings, it will give you the webhook URL to paste in to Plex server, if you don't know how to do this then Google is your friend 
So I've just re-read you message, you mention GitHub code, the Hubitat version does not exist on GitHub.. so make sure you use the code in this post, you need to copy both the app and the driver to their respective locations..
I think you are using the SmartThings version, hence the error stating musicPlayer and not "Music Player"
Unless I'm reading your issue wrong and you can't even create the app? If that's the case, it's likely because you haven't copied all the code or copied a bit too much, i.e. some of the post rather than just the code bit..
So I've just tested this on my setup and it appears to be working.. so I suspect it may be related to misunderstanding of settings? So under all of the settings there should be nothing under the "stop" actions (bulbs or switches) for the items you want to revert.
This will only revert switch states so whatever you want to revert you will need to put under "switches on when playing" or "switches off when playing" if that doesn't solve your issue then if you can post your settings I'll see what I can do..
I'm getting an error when saving rooms currently although it appears to save an work correctly.. EDIT: Fixed code below
Updated Code For Media Scene below, I have removed Routines which don't exist in Hubitat!

Hi Jebbett,
Thank you - I have got it working now...
Needed to install connector app and driver and media scene apps.
I misunderstood and thought mediascene was an updated version of the original.
Many thanks.

Maybe I'm just being dense, but how do I get the "connector app"? I've installed the app and driver code.
He meant communicator, you should just need communicator and the driver if you have a Plex pass..
Media scene is a generic additional application I wrote to control lighting etc based on the state of a media device..
This works great, thanks jebbett!
