Using Remote (iPad/iPhone) to Open Plex via Media Server
Is there any way possible that because I'm running Plex Media Server on my lounge computer (mac mini) which I use to play all my plex media... Via the iphone/ipad app which I use as a remote, can we also use it to open the app on the computer you want to show the movie/tv show etc...  
  
At the moment the remote option is blanked out if the app isn't open... But I think it would be a great option to allow us to "Play on Lounge" which would subsequently open the app and then play the media on that computer?  
  
Just an idea?  
  
P.
