Yes, you should setup connections. something like this: If&nbsp; you have folder K:\media\movies on plex server and folder \movies\ shared as "my\_movies", you should set you connection like smb//(or nfs) \my\_movies

And I should make those setting changes where?

If it's on the Dune, within "Setup/Applications/DPC Setup/Connections", it won't let me change the settings. It highlights the box/field, but won't let me select it and change it.

If it's not there, where do I make the changes?

I feel I'm missing something here, as I seem to be the only person with the problem?&nbsp; :wacko:

This is the problem, I am pressing enter (and many other buttons), but it won't do anything other than highlight the path. It won't let me change it...?

Just to add, I'm using b1\_02

That's the version of DPC I'm using, as that appears to be the latest one on your site? Is that not correct?

Oops, sorry :) of course It's correct.

Do you setup SMB or NFS share on server? If you can't press connection buttons means same internal error appear. Could you send me log file?

hi jmper,

the movie I watched today with DPC does not appear as "watched" on PMS...

:blink:

I saw this : [https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/2xwf8y/when\_does\_plex\_mark\_something\_as\_watched/](https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/2xwf8y/when_does_plex_mark_something_as_watched/), so as I watched until the credits, it should be ok

is it ok with everybody else ???

regards

Its already been mentioned in this thread that watched/unwatched isn’t supported yet.  
  
jmper is working on supporting that and it’s high priority.

hi jmper,

would it be a good idea if you gave the list of bugs & functionalities you are working on now ?

so it would prevent people (like me...) to tell you about problems or suggestions already taken care of, no ?

:rolleyes:

Hello all

Yes, it's good idea.

My task list by priority:

1) make Plex server notification

1a watched/unwatched

1b register dpc as player and notified how long time watched

2 make possible play all albums of artist / shuffle play list

3 design improvement ( add screen without left part but with captions of movie/serials )

&nbsp;- remove additional series name on unwatched list

&nbsp;- maybe something else

bugs:

avoid crash with windows based plex server

avoid crash with some series filters

any proposal?

hi

it's already a lot to do !

I can add as suggestions :

- show the fanart (in the background ?) when you click on "info" to have the summary of the movie

- developp the "info" window (with the summary, etc) in such a way (specific config file ?) so other people (like me) can customize it (I'd like for example to reduce the size of the letters)

kind regards !

add fanart is possible but customize info screen, I'm afraid, not.
