I feel there could be more work to improve remote streaming. I’m noticing buffering that I don’t see using when using PMP.
Is buffering set by the plugin or using Kodi defaults? By default Kodi buffer setting are better suited to LAN streaming. You can change them using an advanced settings xml and that should help your streaming. Google Kodi buffering settings. If you can’t find it let me know, I will post them when I am in front of a computer.

Not sure really. I am attempting to stream high bitrate i.e. 30Mb but PMP handles it without issue.
The issue is I’m using a eMMC card. AFAIK, you can’t change the cache without damaging the card.
I think the issue is related to SSL connections being forced by the server (which I want forced) and the delivery method of the packets.

MKV’s play different than 1080p.this statement is plain wrong. Mkv is a container, 1080p is a resolution.
i meant mp4 plays different than mkv,sorry about that.
Changing the cache rate won’t affect the eMMC. At some point the entire file gets written to the eMMC. What you want is to make sure its buffering ahead far enough to handle small changes in the network speed. Kodi by default does not do this. Its configured best for 100 / 1000 LAN. Low latency high speed. Your internet connection while fast is higher latency, Lower speed, and less steady. Is PMP getting transcoded streams? It will also automatically raise and lower bit rate to match the network speed if it changes. Kodi does not by default.
Is this project dead?

Of course not.

Our guys have been pulled off to work on other Plex projects and there has been no updates in 2 months; which sounds like the project is dead or has no priority.

No, it just indicates that it’s coming in line with other Plex apps. So much was done with PfK in such a short time it was pretty inevitable that pace wouldn’t keep up. (not a criticism) 
Its Plex after all !

Keith and Ruuk have been given other projects since they have begun working at Plex. While it does worry me that this particular client doesn’t appear have a dedicated team working on it like we’ve seen with the Plex for Android dev team and others, I can only assume they are given additional manpower / £££ to help improve it further in the future.
I hope it becomes the next major client behind Plex Media Player as it’s brilliant.
There’s clearly been some influence though. In the Android TV beta’s we briefly saw a update UI with a top bar (with a user / settings toggle in) that looked suspiciously similar to what we’ve seen in Plex for Kodi so clearly there has been some inspiration drawn from it. I’d love if they mimicked the UI from it inside their Android TV application with the server selector up there but it’s clear to see that there’s been some kind of influence.

Perhaps we should have a dedicated “Is this thing dead or what?” thread like there is in the PMP subforum :),
At least it shows that PFK now follows the usual Plex development cycle. Introduce with lots of enthousiasm, bring frequent small updates and then pretty much abandon it for the next big thing before a stable or v2 version is out.
It’s still a great client, too bad development has slowed to a crawl, though I do understand it’s because the devs have been moved to other tasks. Strange in a way that development for Plex clients is done best by non-plex-employees. When It was a Plex hired Kodi thing development was a lot more active. The next best “client” is PlexKodiConnect, also not internally developed.

Simply amazing! Thanks for sharing this
Gone!
I take it this means this addon is dead? Real shame

?? What means the addon is dead? PKC? PKC has been around for long while and has nothing to do with the addon.
One of the addon developers (and plex employee) one page back, stated the addon was still under development.
People Can Not Read. This is not Dead. Development has just paused for awhile. The plugin is stable and works great, I have been using it for months on 2X 24/7 Set top devices with no trouble.

I think when he said “Gone” he simply meant he had switched to PKC lol
No I don’t mean PKC, I mean the Plex for Kodi addon. The information in this forum is slightly confusing as there are mentions of the developers being pulled onto other projects and lack of updates etc

Yeah I was referring to anthonws comment of “Gone” meaning HE had switched to PKC.
Either way PFK Isn’t dead just slowed down.

Well “slowed down” is stretching it I think. If my heart beat slowed down this much I’d be dead for sure
I guess a polite way of describing the current state, is that development has been aligned with the PMP team

Yep, totally agree. The only difference is that with this project they’ve actaully delivered something which is usable even if it’s not pretty much dead.
Real shame that Plex don’t value their userbase anymore.

Which is funny because now that this exists, I’ll never want to use PMP again…
This is infinitely superior. Even in its slowed development state.
