Hello everyone,

I am developing an iOS app around movies, and I’d like to redirect from my app to the iOS Plex app then directly launch the movie.

Any idea on how to do that?

I spent some time on the playback API without success, I heard also about GDM discovery but not sure where I should dig more as :

- How to discover Plex player on my current network from an iOS app?

Thanking you in advance.
