choosing PleXBMC as a Player in Plex iOS App
Hello,

I am running Plex Media Server on Ubuntu.
For playback, I use PleXBMC which works just fine.

But PleXBMC is not recognized as a player client in my iOS app.
I tried both PleXBMC version 1.9 and 2.0 Beta 4.

It would be really great to get it to work. Is there any way i can set up PleXBMC or the unterlying XBMC to be discovered as a Plex player client?

Thanks in advance.

I know the reply's a bit late, but the answer is very likely "Not easily".

You could do a hack with Avahi to register the device as a plex client (see the Raspberry Pi code which does this for a python example, here: https://github.com/megawubs/pyplex/blob/master/pyplex.py ), and just not listen for the commands, and xbmc should get most commands just fine. I think the only one that'll immediately fail is PlayMedia, so initiating playback via iOS wont work, but direction, select, volume, page, etc. should all work.

Other than that, the answer is quite probably no.

The other option would be to compile and run the Plex Media Center build for linux.
