I have followed all advice, instructions, tips and hints.
No luck.
I'm beginning to sense this just doesn't work, because I am not finding an answer.
My Harmony Remote works with my iMac. BUT I have to manually start Plex with my mouse to use it.
Is there a way to start Plex with a button push? I've tried mapping, I have tried Global Mapping. I have tried behaviors. I've tried mapping to "Home" under Plex Home Theater in behaviors. I've tried mapping to Behaviors and Activate Plex Home Theater Behaviors.
Nothing turns Plex on.

There's a complete, pictured walk-through of all the necessary steps when you click on "Show" next to "Unlocking all buttons of the Smart Control" at the end of that FAQ entry.
Without performing these steps, the Harmony won't send anything to Remote Buddy for presses of the Record, DVR, Guide, Info, Exit, Vol+, Vol-, Mute and E buttons. The Harmony also won't share the duration of button presses for the Rewind and Stop buttons, making it hard to use Rewind in some applications.
Since both DVR and EPG are among the buttons that Harmony won't send anything about to Remote Buddy with default Harmony settings, nothing happens when you try to use these two.
Once you have followed the "Unlocking all buttons of the Smart Control" steps in the Harmony app, the DVR and Guide (EPG) buttons should just work.
Alternatively, you could also map the actions to a button that Harmony sends button presses for with default settings - like the red button (in the red, green, yellow, blue row of buttons). But then you'd, of course, not be able to use the extra button, which can be really useful to have around.
Hope that helps.
