Hey Guys!
This is my first post here. Sorry if i’m posting in the wrong part of the forum.
Today I was trying to find a script for Plex and found this post in Boxee forum (Link). I changed the script a little bit, hope you enjoy:

Thanks, It works Great!
Thank you for the great job!
Does anyone know how to implement a text field function to this script, so that one could use the phone's T9 system for searches on YouTube etc.? Here's how it would work: When a text dialog opens in Plex, the user presses star and a text field appears on the phone. The user types in text using the phone's interface, and presses Done. Then all the apple script have to do is to transfer the user input to System Events keystrokes or something similar.
I've been trying to implement this myself, but even though I'm used to apple script, scripting for Salling Clicker really confuses me. I've managed to write a script that opens a text field in the phone when you launch the script, but not one that doesn't open the text field until you press star.
Many thanks!
Actually, I found it out myself:
First:
else if the_key is "*" then
tell terminal of the_keypad to push (make new text field dialog with properties {name:"Text", title:"Type", prompt:"Type text"})
Later:
on process dialog ok the_widget
set txt to value of the_widget
repeat with char in characters of txt
simulate keyboard charcode (ASCII number (char))
delay 0.01
end repeat
end process dialog ok
I have Nokia 6120 Classic (s60v3).
Script works but not the volume and other buttons. I can move up, bottom, reght, left, I can play, pause.
Which version of leopard do you have? Which build of Plex?
I have Mac Os 10.5.2 and I tried Plex 0.5.22 and Plex 0.7.7.
I tried all the scripts on this page.
Thanks for the help.
I have Mac OS 10.5.6 and Plex 0.7.13. Maybe is your keyboard layout, try using this program [[Full Key Codes](http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/21215)] and check the key code for this keys:
[-] (Should be 27 Dec)
[=] (Should be 24 Dec)
[S] (Should be 1 Dec)
[C] (Should be 8 Dec)
[Esc] (Should be 53 Dec)
[Space Bar] (Should be 49 Dec)
If something is different, tell me.

Nice Job Akrug, would be nice from you to put the whole script.
Thanks

Here's the whole script with the text input function. I have also modified the keys pressed to make use of both the numerical keypad and the directional buttons, as well as added a function for recent text entries.

Where do i put any of these scripts? A bit clueless??
Copy and paste into a new Script Editor document, save anywhere and pull it into Salling Clicker's configuration.
i will make a tutorial as soon as possible.

is there away to communicate with Plex without the need of focusing on Plex (something similar to iTunes controller)?
It would be great that way, so that I can control plex and work on my mac at the same time.
EDIT: Just wondering if we can control Plex via HTTP protocol? Then we can ignore the focus dependence
GREAT WORK!!!! THANKS!!!! GO BRAZILLLLLLL!!!!
PARABENS!!!
Thanks for the updates…Also im waiting for the tutorial to be made…Hope this will come… :lol:

Hm, the scripts work somewhat for me.
Probably because I have an “unusual” phone, a Nokia E71, which has numeric keys only through the use of a special key combination, these scripts only work sub-optimal.
I have many media with multiple audio tracks, so I switch a lot between them.
However, I seem to be unable to configure it in a way that pressing the “m” (or any button for that matter) will bring up the in-movie menu.
Can anyone of you wizards please tell me how to achieve this?
Thank you and greetings.

Hey Thomas…
The “in-movie” menu is the button “5” in the cellphone.
Maybe you’re using the old script, I am gonna remove it in any case.
Tell me if it worked…
