Does the refer to home screen fan out ? ( i.e. that recently added movies/episodes that have been watched will still appear on homescreen ? )

If so - thank you thank you thank you !!!

Windows or OSX only, until someone comes up with an embedded build.

Thanks for this release. I wasn’t even aware that PHT proper wasn’t being developed actively. Long live openPHT

Thanks for still updating OPHT…

Is there not an option to play next video automatically? I mean, this is useful for watching tv shows episodes…

‘Play from here’ is in the context menu, will continue playing until stopped, it was in the release notes for 1.5.0.

I just installed OpenPHT a couple of weeks ago and - wow - everything I love about Plex Home Theater is there, but with all the bugs that were driving me crazy over the last couple of years fixed, plus lots of cool little extra options… And the latest preview release is running smooth as butter for me so far too… Amazing work guys, thanks so much!

I Placed freebase on top in the agents section, and did a refresh all, but there are no RT scores showing u at all. I’ve red something about RT having a new API or something and thus this would explain the problem.
Is this correct?

The fact there is a Limited RGB GUI toggle is awesome, thanks for implementing my request!
