couple of questions

Hi,

Is it possible to do the following w/ a channel

  1. prompt a user selection dialog for example, “Pick a Server” where I would present them with a list of servers to choose from
  2. determine if i have a movie/episode in the plex library and play it if it exists. this way my addon wouldn’t need to stream it online.

Thanks

Sadly, the Plex framework is very limited when it boils down to the presentation level, so the first answer would be no, unless you embed your own web-server within the channel, and take it from there.
Plex framework is more focused on providing contents to the UI in a Plexified way :wink:

2nd Q would be from within your channel to search all libraries for the contents.and haven’t tried it myself, but take a peak here: github.com/Arcanemagus/plex-api/wiki/Plex-Web-API-Overview
