Plex Support for VBox XTi 4174

Thanks for the response and clarification. I was trying to add it manually.

I had some challenges getting it discovered via SSDP (devices were in separate VLANs plus Plex was in a Docker bridge network that couldn’t send/receive UDP broadcasts outside its subnet). Obviously those are self induced, but being able to enter the address manually would have been beneficial and saved me a few hours in Wireshark.

At least one other person had similar issues, so I might open a feature request:

On @Volts question, it doesn’t look like there’s support for transcoding on the VBox before hitting Plex yet. I don’t see a “Transcoder Quality” option in Device Settings. VBox has an API and Plex already supports this for HDHomeRun EXTEND (https://support.plex.tv/articles/225877347-live-tv-dvr/#:~:text=Transcoder%20Quality), so maybe it could be added.
