Dune player

Hi Newloran2,


thanks! Just a Short question: in your actual version the folder for unwatched movies is always empty. Is this a Bug? On Deck works. Continue watching do not work, Movie Start always at the beginnung!

But so far big thank for your great work! Do you think about a future update?

The DS212 is really slow, but tell what services are using to get help.
Wait plex index content.
Try to turn off other indexing services (Audio Station, Video Station and Photo Station Mainly).
Use the Resource Monitor to identify critical cpu process.
 
This can leave usable with plex (but do not expect so much).

I don't have Audio Station, Video Station,Photo Station installed at the moment.

If I bypass emplexer it works fine.

Hi newloran2

is it possible to setup the DS212 using NFS?

Hi newloran2

is it possible to setup the DS212 using NFS?

Yes,

On Control center -> win/mac/nfs -> NFS -> Enable Nfs.

After enable nfs click on Share Folder and add your folders.

In my case i add 1 folder each type (Tv Series, Movies, Animes, Photos and Music).

Now you have to edit nfs privileges (tab on top of this screen named Privileges).

If you this don't work call me on gtalk :).

Hi newloran2,

sorry, could you look at my post #221?

Thank you very much,

Peter911, 

Please excuse me, I had not seen your post.

About filters:

Some filter has not working, this is a very old bug, I was remiss in not fix this before but in next revision (that i working) all filters will work.

About Resume movies:

This feature works for me and I think for most people who use the emplexer, you are the first that have this issue.

To see hat happend plz tell me  what's the model of your dune,  what's the version of firmware that you use and plz send-me your emplexer.log.

For this feature specifically is need firmware firmware 120329_2012 or better.

Plz if possible test one this videos that emplexer do not resume, in other plex client and see if resume work ok.

OBS: Resume not work with DVD Folders, DVD ISO and Bluray iso because a limitation of dune plugin system.

Hi newloran2,

thanks for answering. My first tests are on an older 101; but today my new Base 3D arrived. More testing on it;-)

The Resume function: I was looking a movie on my Mini Mac PHT Client and wont to resume in an other room with the 101 Dune; the Movie starts from beginning. With other Mac-Clients or iPad/ iPhone resume works fine.

I will report after testing with actual Base 3D and Firm. You are doing a great Job and can`t wait for further emplexer releases...

Go ahead and many Thanks!

Hi !

I'm french & new on this forum, and would like first to thank a lot newloran2 for his great job on Plex Client for Dune !

Indeed I have a Smart B1 since 1 year now and was quite frustrated not to be able to use Plex, as some friends told me about his advantages that Yadis doesn't have (mainly the automatic scan of drives)...

So when I found this thread & discovered that a client was developped, I couldn't wait to use Plex !...

...But for the moment being, I can't say I'm totally satisfied with PMS...

I have indeed a NAS synology DS413j since 1 month, with a lot of movies (around 300 french movies in folder attached to a section called "films (fr)", and around 600 foreign movies in a folder attached to a section called "movies").

I started to scan the 2 folders with the last version of PMS last saturday, and in fact PMS hasn't finished yet :-(

I don't know why...

I'm discovering PMS functionalities on NAS Synology little by little, and am looking on plex web site for documentations (wiki, forum, etc) - and I can't say that I'm getting much help ! :-(

I have the impression that PMS on NAS Synology is quite "new" (there was a poll a few months ago), and so I am not sure that it is fully functional/operational...

there are some strange things happening !!! :-(

I know it is not the right place to ask questions about PMS on NAS (but if someone can give me a hand to find answers...)

all this is to say that documentation is VERY IMPORTANT.

so, the above commentary from newloran2 is very important from my point of view !

it should be on the list of limitations of Dune client of the download page...

...because for me, that limitation is an other stone (with many others) in the garden of Plex, because I have many DVD folders !

:-(

Kind regards

hi again,

just a question :

if i have problem with PMS that I see with Plex/Web, where should I post my questions on the forum : on "PMS/Linux", or on "Plex Client / Plex/Web"  - or the french section ???

Hi wayb,

welcome to the emplexer thread  :)

I've only had my synology DS212j for a couple of days and sent it back, because of the slow scanning with plex server NAS. it was really frustrating to use. emplexer also was very slow accessing files.

i'm back using my normal external drive, My Dune D1 plays blu-rays flawlessly using SMB, with SMB fast access enabled  :D

OBS: Resume not work with DVD Folders, DVD ISO and Bluray iso because a limitation of dune plugin system.

Weyb,

 

I'm use my plex on a synology 712+.

This model is a Good model with x86 processor, in this model I don't have any issue with plex.

Plex for arm that your model use is very new and probably have some bugs, and  413j have a small amount of memory and processor power, all this contribute to slow index and operation.

Try to disable some services and retest plex.

 

About resume feature on emplexer, DVD ISO and folder not resume with plex position but use internal dune resume.

If you see 10 minutes of one DVD ISO, next time that you see this video the dune (not emplexer) will resume this video for you, make a try ;).

From my experience, Disabling some services is not going to make any difference. The ARM CPU is not fast enough.

hi everyone,

thank you very much for your answers, meaning you try to "help" me !

do you think it'd be better to scan one folder at a time (ie. also correct all the problems), before scanning an other folder ?

other point  : do you know if the "naming rules" are strict ?

my friends told me that one of the main advantages of plex was that it was able to understand the name of the movie, especially if it wasn't correctly spelled (with dots, or "eng" or whatsoever...) !

but i have so many movies not recognised...

:-(

Hello newloran2,

thank you for you great app.

I found your Topic "Register Client as Player"...

Is this possible and how ?

Hello newloran2,

Hello stehohrhase,
 
Yes this is possible,  with hippojay response i implemented a server that emplexer will start, this server do the plex registration.
After the registration, emplexer show in client list on PMS.
When i play file and select emplexer on client list, the client (ios in my case) make a request  to PMS and PMS make a request to my server.
My server parse this request and convert on format that emplexer expect.
 
All this is working today in dev version of emplexer.
 
To add this feature on emplexer ( and i really like to add ), i need a missing feature on dune plugin system (one external process able to comunicate directly with a dune plugin).

Hey newloran2,


can Not wait for next Release of your emplexer. Can you give a little hint about the date?


Thanks & BR

Peter

petter911, actualy new release have no date, the project is currently on pause state, other projects demand much of my time, but wait, anytime there may be a release :).

So, there is nothing public - or a instruction how to do !?!

You can give some more Infos ?

I will be happy, if i can select the movie from my ipad and the playback on the dune beginns.

More interaktivit i don't need at the Moment... Ist perfekt, when it starts and the i can use the dune infrarot..
