Request plexWatch Support
Built in support for plexWatch would be awesome! plexWatch let's you see exactly what's being used by your friends plex is shared with:
https://github.com/ljunkie/plexWatch
You might wanna include some info about what you info you want from plexwatch. Atleast i didnt get it. Its possible to see what your friends are watching in in the plex module already.
I would like to see the sorting of the library like XBMC and the direct link from the media-details to the Plex detail-page! (I don't think this needs PlexWatch to be honest)
https://code.google.com/p/plex-api/wiki/PlexWebAPIOverview See advanced filtering
You can already see what users are playing and in the current dev branch it is possible to se what payer they are using. https://github.com/tester22/HTPC-Manager/commits/plex-queue
Adding plexwatch might be to much...
@tester22 while your at it you should change how the getthumb works, atm it will always transcode images via plex. That reduces image quality.
@hellowlol yes. Like all other integrations the images displayed to the user are transcoded. I have been using the plex transcoder in favor of using the built in transcoder since it is much faster and no external dependencies. I don't think it would be better to transcode internally.
@tester22 I'd say is marginally faster, the biggest overhead is the http calls. While it's not visible on a low res screen the images has a lesser quality resulting in ugly images on high res screens. Also the opacity parameter is missing from the URL making modal text very hard to read.
In my fork we check if pil is installed if not we fall back to transcode. I also fixed the play command to you can push videos to iPhones etc.
@hellowlol Will have a look and can push to your version. I have rewritten all play commands in my latest version to use the same approach as Plex Media Served does.
The stuff about the images isn't merged yet but I plan to do that today and revert the stuff regarding dupes and make that a optional.
