Re: Plex issue, remote won't respond when in background

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.
The problem seems worse than I thought, this issue seems present in both Plex 8 and Plex 9. I'm using the default Plex behavior. Even if I use custom actions it doesn't work. Using the virtual apple remote actions doesn't work either. If I try "run actor" it does work, and Plex responds to commands while it's in the background. So it seems there is just a conflict over the apple remote between Plex and RB.

I don't think that Plex turns off Apple Remote support in the background because when I quit RB, the apple remote works in the background for controlling Plex.

And again, other programs such as Hulu Desktop and XBMC work with the apple remote while they are in the background.
