Hello,
I had an idea for writing a third party plex client with a focus on music.
How does one get started with writing a new client? I found http://dev.plexapp.com/ but that seem to about writing plugins etc for the media server.
Is there any documentation of an api for writing clients?
There’s actually no formal documentation relating specifically to 3rd party clients. There are a number of people who have written clients that can help with specific questions, etc. However, to start, one way to learn a lot about how a client talks to the server is to look at the network traffic. For example, you can install something like Charles Proxy and setup an iOS device to proxy through it. That way you can see the various calls it makes to PMS as the user navigates etc. There are also various open source clients that you could look through the source to see how they are implemented (ATV/Roku). Do you have more details of what kind of client you’re considering writing?
