As a Plex Pass subscriber, I was happy to hear about the new Plex Media Player... Will we see an update to Remote Buddy to work with this?

Blog post for reference:

Thanks in advance,

Yes please add support for the new player. Plex is the primary reason I bought remote Buddy as well.

Here you go, I initiated a behavior with a default mapping for a Logitech Harmony Smart Controller:

Does this launch the New Plex Player and do the Play,Stop Fwd etc. all work?

Yes. There might be some additional tweaking or default mapping if you use any other remote that a Harmony Smart Controller but I have been using it yesterday and I mapped all my remotes buttons and it works flawlessly except for the remote buddy menu when app is enabled. I'll post an update when I have some time to tweak this.

This is my first behavior so I mostly wanted to validate the core key mappings.

Yes, it's my plan to add support for the Plex Media Player with a free update.

Sorry that it takes so long. I'm just incredibly busy. Check the blog to get a taste:

Hello Antoine, and thank you for your script! It works great.

I was wondering if there was a way though for your script to close out any prior application before launching. I am switching between Plex Media Player, Plex Home Theater (still trying to migrate getting used to media player) and XBMC.

Didn't want to have all of them open whenever I try to open another application.

Thanks!

Hi,

I will post an updated version supporting a few more configurations. As for your question, I think it is possible, you just have to edit the behavior the creation tool. You can orchestrate action, including scripted actions so basically you could type any code to close any apps in between.

Awesome! Yeah i'm not sure how I can add my action to your behaviour. Every time i add your behaviour to the construction kit it doesn't come up correctly. Only when I drop it straight into the folder does it work. THEN if I add a new behaviour to add my action too, it creates a duplicate Plex Media Player >_<

Basically... I'd love to have your Behaviour with the "Behaviour Action: Quit currently controlled application" Prior to the "Behaviour Action: Activate Plex Media Player Behaviour" being activated. That way when plex opens, last app is closed.

+1 for PMP support! It seems to work fine for me now but wish it wasn't such a hassle to go through the whole Applications list to pick PMP out of that list.

How is the current status on PMP support? I would love to switch to PMP over PHT... I couldn't get the behaviour that was posted here to work with our Apple remote.
