I´m playing with the thought of building a fake car stereo for a racing sim rig to control Plex. Is it possible to control with external controllers? Maybe even send data back to display whats currently playing?
Server Version#:
Player Version#:
Plex is controlled over https with your token as the key to getting access. You should be able to do quite a bit. Start by having a look at the URLs issued with various commands in the Local Plex Web App.
https://192.168.1.20:32400/web is the type of command that will spawn that player (but put in your server’s ip ofc).
People run PMS and they run Plexamp on Raspberry Pi. If you feel like a full distro SFC, you can have quite a bit right there in your car.
That is interesting! Allthough that url only seems to start the webapp.
The real question is if I can use HARDWARE to control Plex, just not use plexamp as a remote?
Yes that starts the web app, and whenever you issue a command to plex using that web app you’ll see a specific url.
an arduino can curl the url for play, pause, etc. Is that what you mean by hardware controlling Plex?
