Plex Media Server for Mac: 1.32.4.7164
Plex for Android (TV): 9.23.0.1746
Plex HTPC for Mac: 1.39.2.3822
According to this article, Android TV and Plex HTPC are still listed as Receiver-Only Plex Apps, They should be able to use the relevant features of Plex Companion.
Here are my tests:
http://iphone.local.ip:32500/resources?token=mytoken
<MediaContainer size="1">
<Player machineIdentifier=
</MediaContainer>
Plex Companion on iOS works fine and can detect the player.
http://androidtv.local.ip:32500/resources?token=mytoken
<MediaContainer size="0">
</MediaContainer>
Plex Companion on Android TV does not work and does not detect the player.
http://htpc.local.ip:32500/resources?token=mytoken

http://htpc.local.ip:32700/resources?token=mytoken

Plex Companion on HTPC sometimes works, sometimes doesn’t, and when it doesn’t all of the above addresses are inaccessible, and when it works, I don’t know.
http://127.0.0.1:32500/resources?token=mytoken
Connection denied
http://127.0.0.1:32700/resources?token=mytoken
<MediaContainer size="0" content="plugins">
</MediaContainer>
My server is on the same Mac as Plex, and when Plex is running I can access the above address via 32700, but the player is not detected because Plex for Mac removed the Plex Companion feature.
To sum up, in my case, iOS works with Plex Companion, HTPC for Mac sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t, Android TV doesn’t work at all.
What are the reasons? How to fix it?
