Plex Home

Will this feature be implement into plexconnect ?

You might want to give us chance to look at the API first :wink:

Of course!

If this feature is enable i lose the ability to use plexconnect ???

Updated it.. it breaks it slightly.. you can connect only if you sign into plexconnect with your plex id.

I updated to server (.9.11.4) and now I cannot connect using PlexConnect.  I am signed in with plex id but still can't see anything.  If anyone has gotten this to work please let me know.  thanks.

Thanks for the info, i don't have your problem, i don't sign in into plexID with plexconnect.

If you don't login plexconnect works

Not sure what was going on... I downgraded to .9.11.1 to see if I could get plexconnect to work and it still didn't work. Then I upgraded again to .9.11.4 and it started working. 

I can't get PlexConnect to work when I have PlexHome enabled.  It keeps saying there are no libraries to display. 

I disabled PlexHome and everything started working again.

It would be AMAZING if PlexConnect could display the user profile selection on the first screen the same way that the Netflix app does. 

Ideally with PIN support.

Is the API documented anywhere?  I would love to try my hand at a commit if I can find the API docs.

Can you post a screenshot of the Netflix user profile select screen?

For users having problems with accessing their library's after updating to PMS v0.9.11.4 with Plex Home - simply go to Settings/Server/Connect and logout, this will restore your Library and Channels views.  This will be temporary until the PlexConnect team have a chance to look at he changes that have been implemented in PMS v0.9.11.4 including the Plex Home user management.  I would guess that they will find a way to build in User Management prompts into PlexConnect in time - maybe something similar to the way that NetFlix handles users as one user has suggested (I personally think if this can be done - would be the best method - very clean).  I have included a quick mock-up of what a PlexConnect Plex Home logon screen could look like as a suggestion :-)

Hope this information helps.

I would love to see a "default user" implemented at the server so that I don't have to choose a user every time.  95% of the time I want one user but occasionally I would want the ability to switch to a different user.

I know they are two separate projects but could be really nice if plexconnect and PMS will be more integrated, even if PMS could be do the job that Plexconnect do, this should be solve all this problems.

No client is interrogated with PMS even plex web is a deprecate development stream, with Plex Home not all official Clients received the update to allow for plex home at te time of release. (PHT, Plex Web & Roku) so a lot of applications do not support it yet (Xbox one, Xbox 360, Vizio, iOS, Andriod, to list the official apps). Then Samsung, LG, plex connect, plexbmc, etc all being third party apps that don't have the functionality yet.


If it was not for the work of the main plex connect developement volunteers we would not have anything to get out PMS content to our ATV (other than AirPlay). Until Apple open up an App Store for the ATV I cannot see plex having an official application as the current "Hack" could be stopped by Apple if they really wanted to. So why would Plex develop this, also Apple may be able to issue Stop type notices if it was not a few individuals developing this.

I am more than happy to wait for a while before te Plexconnect team can work through the API documents and work out how to implement this within the limitations of the ATV UI. But also whatever is developed for fast switching I hope it's and option as I can see plenty of people not needed this functionality

That is not likely to happen - PlexConnect is a 3rd party service to allow PMS to work on Apple TV - If Apple ever open up the Apple TV platform via an app store and allow apps like PMS on the platform then there will not be a need for PlexConnect.  As a result the PlexConnect team work with the API's that available to exploit the features of PMS to allow it to work as we see today on Apple TV.

So is PlexConnect working with PlexHome? Anyone tested it with the latest?


I can’t turn it on unless it works because the family will flip out! :slight_smile:

No update has been made specifically for Plex Home so at this stage don't enable it otherwise you will have issues

In a word - no.  It is not working at present.

Working fine for me on PlexConnect with Plex Home enabled. I am signed in as MyPlex user not home user.
