Hi, I would like to know if it could be possible to send an IP command to the plex client to play a specific movie on a specific time frame.  
  
We design and install home theaters, so in my showroom we added a plex mac mini to the setup but I would like to create a smooth demo so that when I press a button plex would play a specific movie at a specific time frame (a nice scene to demo). So is there any command I could send to do that?  
  
  
  
I already have a control system that is sending some basic commands via IP to play, pause, stop, etc  
  
  
  
Thanks!
