Is there any interest in a touchpad plex?

Hi all,

So some of you might have heard of HP’s late tablet. You also might have heard that if your lucky you can snag one for 100 dollars making it a great deal. After glancing over the SDK it seems pretty simple to program on, looks like its literally just java script. I was wondering who else on the forum might have one of these, because I might take the time to write a plex client for it (I have been saying that I would write some sort of plex client for a while so no garentees it will ever get done) and was wondering if anyone besides myself would actually use it.

I’m here looking for info on the remote and transcoding APIs, with an eye toward writing a webos client. So I’d use one if you write it. :slight_smile:

Count me in !

I’d use it. Came to the forums tonight to see if any movement had started on a Webos client.

Exact same reason I came here today.



There is a lot of new touchpads out there, I would expect a lot of interest.

I would! I was lucky enough to snag a Touchpad for $99 and would love to be able to use Plex on it. I currently use it on my Roku.

oo yay! I would love this!

+1 Here. I’d love a plex client on my TouchPad.


Didn't someone do a WebKit player to allow playing files in your browser?
You could get inspiration from it, methinks.

edit: auuuugh triple-post.

edit: welp, sorry about that.

I would love this as well!

VERY interested! Oh how I hope this happens…

I would love this as well… Has anyone submitted a request to lighthouse?

I would certainly love this app.



I’m also a WebOS developer. If you’re interested in collaborating on this shoot me an email: dottru@gmail.com

Another expression of interest here. I think there are quite a lot of firesale Touchpad owners out there now, and as you say webOS is delightfully easy to develop for!



Yes please!

+1

A plex client for webOS 3 would be awesome.

Just got my brand new TP and I’m quite impressed with the OS ease of use.

I’m no developer but I might help if you ever need a french localization.

Hecks yeah! I haven’t been around much in the forums lately, mostly because Plex has been meeting all of my needs and I ran out of questions! My new touchpad has renewed my need to come here!




Count me in!!! I am interested

Or how about a documented web api. We can more than likely write a client with no issues if we have an api.
