Tip O' The Day : Searching for Media

[Bugman]

I think that the Plex driver assumes that it's only dealing with movies. I wasn't aware that Plex handled music at all, so the driver doesn't really look for any.

Ah, that explains some issues...:-?

[Ron Haley]

Plex does handle music - art work and all. So you can play music through any Plex client via chromecast, roku, apple tv etc. I looked through the CQC Plex driver source, and it specifically says no music supported.
Who developed the driver?

[Dean Roddey]

I did the driver. I can maybe take a look at it later in the 5.1 beta cycle.

[Ron Haley]

Great! I like the plex product!

Here is some useful information on the plex music product.

As you can see, has a lot of cool features. I love that it will generate playlists based on mood. It would be great if we could play those playlists from within CQC, especially with echo.

[Dean Roddey]

CQC wouldn't see playlists created on the fly. If it pre-creates them then it would work. But if it just does it on a whim, CQC wouldn't see it. That would require constantly pulling down all the data on the chance something had changed, which wouldn't be practical.

Dean,
It's pre-created. It's created by a filter within Plex.
