this plugin looked interesting so I tried to install it. from what I have read the new version 2 does not support SMB so I tried to install version 1. it seems to install ok but when I launch it I get the error (impossible to launch application)
I tried this on both my players (zappiti minis) which are basically dune tv303d's. the firmware is the latest zappiti firmware
(140430\_0849\_b8)
after that I decided to try version 2, that installed no problem and I was able to configure my plex ip. seems to work ok. I see movie wall and it plays video fine (would still prefer smb) but anyway I do not see any way to view movie synopsis. it shows movie posters and it plays the movie if I hit ok or play but I don't see any way to view movie details. am I missing something is there anyway to view movie details in version 2 of emplexer?
or if not does anyone know if this will be added in a future version, also does anyone know the status of version 2 is smb version coming out soon or has development stopped for this dune plugin?
thanks for any info you can provide.
Michael

hello Mike !
i'm not sure to know where to look !
is it in PLEX ?
all i could find in PLEX "network" parameters related to my LAN is :
"list of networks authorized without authentication :
192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0"
is it what you were thinking about ?
an other parameter seen in "connection" (translated from french) :
"force authentification on local network
set authorized networks to 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255. It forces others PCs on the LAN to authenticate in order to access the server."
--\> it is not enabled
kind regards

@weyb:
Yet, that´s what i mean, but when the authentification on the local Network is disabled you must have another Problem, on my Dune TV-303D the build works perfect.

Hello people and sorry for my very long absence,
I think in fill days i'll be able to go back to emplexer development.
If any one have some problems with v2 (like that unhadle php error) try to use the release version [https://github.com/newloran2/emplexer/releases](https://github.com/newloran2/emplexer/releases) if the problem remain please send-me your emplexer2.log.
Thank's to all.

Michael,
The development of emplexer is not stopped only paused due other things that demand my attention.
If not goes wrong in some days i will able to go back to emplexer development.
About the info screen i added a issue on git hub [https://github.com/newloran2/emplexer/issues/89](https://github.com/newloran2/emplexer/issues/89).
About the smb i'll add smb and nfs in the next releases.
The v2 for now is not production ready, i just release him to people make some tests, i strongly recommend you to use the emplexer v1, these version have some problems, but have more features and is much more stable.
Is possible to install emplexer v1 and v2 in same dune unit.

Just got reply on my question about emplexer's support of "seek" functionality so I have option to go to time where I stopped previous time: "For now resume and seek with plex client are not supported. I'll add this feature in next releases."
```

I wish you have time to add this feature soon:) This will allow me (and other's, probably) to use Dune more frequently as Plex player.

I use two dunes at home, one 303d and one smart h1 both work very well.
To buy I recommend one 3d model.
But if you can, go to hdi site [http://dune-hd.com/eng](http://dune-hd.com/eng) and compare some models.

Hi Newloran2,
its good to hear you will continue to work on this. I am excited about it. however you mentioned in your reply to me to use version 1 for smb, however I have tried to install and use version 1 on both of my media players (zappiti mini) which is basically a dune tv303d but as I mentioned in my original post it does not work. I cannot get it to launch. I get the same error on both of my media players (impossible to launch application) I cant configure plex ip it just doesn't launch. any idea why or how to fix and get it working? as I mentioned I don't have this problem with version 2
thanks again
Mike
actually just found the solution a page or 2 back in this thread... version 1 works great, looking forward to smb and movie info in version 2. thanks for this app, it works really well

How did you get version 1 to run, I download it and it isn't a zip file, so it doesn't want to work. I tried renaming to .zip and that didn't get me anywhere, but I am using a Mac .

Newloran,
I was able to get the release v2 to load and start. A Few issues:
1.Is there a way to change the view in this version. At the season level I get episode thumbnails, but with no episode title. I can't tell if my problem with the watched/unwatched status is actually working without seeing the titles.
2. the pop-up menu button does not seem to be working no matter what level I am on. Correction, it does get me to the menu while watching an episode, but nowhere else.
3. pressing the info button now gives the dune style info box and a filename box at the to of the screen. However the filename is not very informative as it has the form "[http://10.0.1.5:32400/library/parts/40054/file.mkv](http://10.0.1.5:32400/library/parts/40054/file.mkv)" rather that the actual file name. Any way to change this?
4. hitting the popup menu button when viewing the episodes within a season causes the dune to restart.
I like the fact that it now has a banner view to choose TV series.
Also, after I installed the new release version 2b03, the resume function is working again on v1 ?!? Not sure what's going on there. \*\*Correction, this worked exactly once and then back to not resuming.

I've tried to run v1, however, as few other people I couldn't do it due to some generic PHP error.

weyb,
To get the emplexer.log attach to your dune one usb drive or internal hdd.
In the root of that hdd make a folder named dune\_plugin\_logs, after that restart your dune and use normally your dune.
The emplexer.log appear /dune\_plugin\_logs/emplexer.log

Use that link [https://github.com/newloran2/emplexer/blob/master/dune\_plugin\_emplexer.zip?raw=true](https://github.com/newloran2/emplexer/blob/master/dune_plugin_emplexer.zip?raw=true) and don't extract it. the safari usually extract it.

rat mice thanks for your report,
1) Change view is in my todo.
2) pop-up button for now have no use on employer 2, maybe i add some functionality to it in one future release.
3) Today emplexer aways show the file path i opened a issue to fix it [https://github.com/newloran2/emplexer/issues/90](https://github.com/newloran2/emplexer/issues/90) .
4) Can you please open an issue on github with your log after this restart?
Fell free to suggest any thing you like to see on emplexer.
