Would it be possible some how to play to a specific tv from the media server or or plex.tv and tell it to play to a tv without doing it from the tv? Im sure not with plex or way of doing this with any media center?
Thatāll depend on the TV. You might be able to handle this by casting from Plex to your TV (e.g. if it supports Chromecast)
Kindaā¦:
You can āflingā, ācastā from one Plex App/Device to any other on the same network as the device on the TV.
Check the Flinging Icon upper right for a list of the available devices/apps.
The targets must be started and running.
Plex canāt toss stuff at a cold app/device:
With everything up and running on the network, I can open my mobile Plex App and enter a āSessionā. Anything I do on the mobile app will be āmirroredā on the target app. Thatās great for running PMP - that is āMouse Challengedā.
Depending on your goals here ā¦ you can also āflingā from one Plex app to another.
If you have any Plex app at your TV - whether itās built into your TV, or part of a streaming box (Roku, Android, Apple TV), you can use another device, such as your phone or a web browser, to start content playing on the TV.
Whatās your use-case?
We have a store that has 10 vizio TVās. We play 10 different videos on each tv and just loop the video. You just have to go around to each tv and play it. Im sure the default Vizio tv app doesnt support it but maybe if we got chromecast for each tv or roku. Could we have the PLEX app open and just throw that video to that tv with the web interface?
IF - and itās a big one - theyāre all using the same App. Not likely, eh?
So if I got a chromecast for each tv as long as the tv is on we could send the video to any tv and have it loop all through the plex interface without having to go to each tv?
Just to mention - the Plex license doesnāt permit commercial usage.
Thereās no ārepeatā functionality in the Plex players, but you might be able to create a Playlist that satisfied you. You could duplicate any videos you wanted to appear multiple times
Plex doesnāt support ābroadcastā playback to multiple devices simultaneously, either. You could initiate playback from each device, but you canāt control an army of devices from a single player.
You might be better off with a different product. There are lots of signage/display control systems out there.
Iām pretty sure you can only āflingā to one device at a time.
As I indicated, if, somehow - all your TVs were wired to ONE DEVICE - flinging to that device would, technically, fling to all the TVs being fed from that āMother shipā device.
This is a job for an 'Electrician/Video Networking Engineer. I wouldnāt recommend a 10 way HDMI splitter hacked into a Roku Ultraās outputā¦lol (but the answer is in that area - somewhere).
What you want to do is against the terms and conditions of that wordy document you (and everybody else) didnāt read. Soā¦ Iād forget about (doing more than we already have) it.
