Thank you for the reply. I was actually about to post that I had solved my problem and share my solution for anybody else with similar questions. What I discovered this morning while searching for more answers is that the "Virtual Remote" in Remote Buddy not only sends button presses but passes through the Apple Remote ID (AR ID) that the IR receiver receives. That means to get all of the functionality of the Harmony Plex Remote you don't have to know to which AR ID and button each Plex function is mapped to then map Plex actions to those buttons in Remote Buddy. The setup is *much* simpler. Once you have added all of the AR IDs used by the Harmony remote for Plex to Remote Buddy (by pressing all of the buttons on the remote until Remote Buddy has added each AR ID 150-160 except for 156) then you create logical remotes for each AR ID and match them to each corresponding recognized remote: assign AR 150 to ID 150, assign AR 151 to ID 151, etc. For the last part, go to Mapping > Global mapping and map each button (up, down, left, right, select, menu) to the same virtual remote button for all the newly created AR logical remotes. Now Remote Buddy is transparent to the Harmony remote and passes every button press from the remote to Plex as if Remote Buddy wasn't even there. Hope this wasn't too confusing and will help some others trying to achieve this same functionality.
