I wonder why Plex hasn't made an app for it. Sure would be nice if we had an official app with official support

I'm putting my Base3D on eBay. It's being replaced with an Intel NUC and will be running Openelec with Plex Home Theater. It's a little more money, but will do everything I want and way more. Plus getting that sexy PHT interface is definitely worth it. Thanks newloran for your work!

First of all, sorry to everyone about my months of absence.
In the recent months my work required much more time and attention on my part and i had a really little time to work with emplexer.
> Is emplexer dying a slow death? Still no news about any updates.
While i have at last one dune working, the emplexer will not die.
> I hope not. I use v1 almost every day and it works great. If PLEX gets a major update which requires emplexer to change I think we will be in "trouble".
> I hope newloaran2 find time and motivation to work on emplexer again but life often gets in the way of this kind of "hobby" project.
Yes i see the PLEX get more complicated and useful in the last months, things like parental control and multiple users are very useful to every one (me included), and to use emplexer the user need to disable all these things (that is very bad).
> I wonder why Plex hasn't made an app for it. Sure would be nice if we had an official app with official support
I Agree, an official PHT are a best thing possible.
These project is a more or less one man project (Much people contribute with translations, and one Guy with the logo).
All job in these client is a reverse engineering and get much time and trouble to get it done.

the Intel NUC is a very good machine, this is a really good choise if you like to get the full power of PMS.
I think the HDI have a very nice Player but the support absence to the plugin developers, and the ausense of some basic things in Dune (Like https support) makes this exchange is a good choice.
> Any update on a new version? :)
I will try to go back to work soon as possible.

That is a thing i really appreciate.

Hi newloran2,
I started this tread back in 2011, How time flies. I really appreciate all your hard work. Sadly I've moved on and now have a NEO X8-H PLUS.
Good luck with your next emplexer release :)

I was just thinking of purchasing one. Do you like it? Is it powerful enough to play Blu-Ray backups or remuxes?

1. Yes
2. It plays my ISO Blu-Ray fine. Even with wifi.
It can play True HD/DTS-HD with full BD menus. But you have to subscribe to Vidons modified kodi with a fee of £11.00 a year.
Vidons kodi is in early beta. At the moment i can't get True HD/DTS-HD to work. I'm waiting for a reply from vidon regarding this issue.
It's not perfect but better than the Dune. The customer support is excellent. I reported stutter/frame drop with 23.976 fps output. Within two weeks Minix released a firmware fix(f/w 005)

Just out of curiosity, what’s better then the Dune? I can play everything I try the play.
Sure, I’m only using emplexer for series and yadis for movies but I have yet not been able to a single show or movie. Everything works great.
I know it’s ot but I this thread isn’t much about emplexer this days anyways. 🙂

I fine the minix more flexible with kodi apps/add-ons.

Thank's 20mxm1,
This neo x8 is a very capable player, I purchased one generic mk903v to use in my travels and i was very impressed with these new android players with kodi, i think these devices are a really valid replacement to dune if like me you use it primary to videos.
The android+kodi ambient is more flexible to do many interesting things, the hdi does not care about customers and even less to developers that could improve its platform.

I think to video these android devices with kodi are petri equivalent, better if you consider the system flexibility.

i agree :).
Despite I agree with android devices the emplexer v2 will be released sometime :D.

Are you working again on emplexer?
Your github page says thats its 3 months ago.
If the php error is fixed can you already send that in our direction :wub:
Other extra functionality is not a great miss.
Does this sounds like begging :ph34r:

I've installed latest release of Plex and since then my emplexer is malfunctioning. When I choose a category (i.e. Recently viewed, unwatched..) some icons are missing and others are duplicated. If you try to watch a movie named "Ja... B..wn" you'll watch another. If I use UPNP it works perfectly, I obtain the correct list per category and the right movie for the right title.
Do you have any idea? I really don't know how could I do.

As far as I know it can decode as well as pass through. I have mine connected to a receiver and it passes through both just fine. It plays everything I have thrown at. I went with the NUC5i3RYK and went with kodibuntu over openelec. It runs much better than openelec. I wrote a bash script to automate most of the process [https://forums.plex.tv/topic/110264-xbmcbuntu-with-plex-home-theater-install-guide-on-intel-nuc/?p=916048](https://forums.plex.tv/topic/110264-xbmcbuntu-with-plex-home-theater-install-guide-on-intel-nuc/?p=916048) if you want more info shoot me a pm so not to hijack this thread.
