So for my own sanity, was it a different ID showing up when playing Vs adding?
Secondary question: when you were playing were you using the primary profile in Plex? Plex is weird with profiles and only updates in some places if it's not the primary profile using it.. i.e. if you use a secondary on a new TV it'll not show in the Plex devices page! (But should show in currently playing) hence why I have to lookup in two places to find devices!
Hey! To clarify my problem: I was not able to find my TV in the devices list when setting up the Communicator app, but I noticed that after using my phone as a test client (which did appear in the list), the Communicator app was still logging actions from the TV when I would play / pause. So I went through the code and enabled all the DEBUG lines I could find, then did some testing. I picked up my TVs GUID from the logs and used it on my phone's Communicator device which was created. I changed the greyed out value, the Device Network ID and that got it working.
To answer your second question, I was using my main account and main profile (I don't have any other users set up at all) so not sure why the TV would not show up in Authorized Devices, but as you say, I did see the client listed correctly in the Dashboard (now playing section) so I figured they sure are talking to each other properly.
What I think is wrong with the app code: the device is there, it's playing content but not listen in the XML version of the scan at all from what I can see. But I don't see how to fix this particular problem, as Plex's APIs are a mystery and don't have time study up. But what I did works and I recommend to all who have the same issue during device discovery. Maybe the app should have an option for debug logging to make it more user friendly, but as it is, it's not rocket science to uncomment a few lines and watch the logs come in as you play with it.
Thanks for the response, the Plex APIs are are a mystery even after reading up on them, Plex doesn't show some stuff it should and different devices share different information, there is no consistency with it. Although grabbing devices isn't really a formal API, so probably part of the problem.. if the device is there to trigger actions though it should work.. but would need to recheck the code..
I agree adding a debugging option would be helpful, although I've not formally released this, hence some rough edges, will get round to it one day..
@jebbett - Did you ever update the app and driver codes to include pulling the currently playing title? I would love to use that on a hubitat dashboard.
Are Roku boxes supported? I keep getting this in the logs:
Error creating device: com.hubitat.app.exception.UnknownDeviceTypeException: Device type 'Plex Communicator Device' in namespace 'jebbett' not found
Most definitely. I have a Roku 2, 3, and Ultra being monitored. Different Rokus in different rooms, triggering different lights.
Yes they are, just looks like you have not installed the driver, you need to add the app and driver code to hubitat
Sorry I did not, I'll look at adding it today
You:
Me: I stayed up late trying to fix this, how could I miss the dri... I guess I stayed up too late.
Thanks, this is awesome work. Is there a way to have the lights fade in and out?
No worries, it depends on your bulbs I guess, hue bulbs at least have a setting you could set in rule machine to define the duration of the fade
Hi, I've done it for you!! (See the next post!)
Hello people,
I will no longer be anwering anything on this thread, and I will lock it if I can!
But don't worry! This is because I have pulled my finger out added the code to GitHub and you can now find the new and improved version here:
Thank you and see you on the other side!
