Now working towards v0.6. Yes, there are things to come... For beta-testing grab the latest from PlexConnect on github.

PlexConnect v0.5

Major improvements:

  • Revamped Audio/Music handling (for iOS>=7.0. That version got a new XML audio player... thanks Beats!)
  • GUI improvements: Fanart, Backgrounds... (needs PIL/Pillow library for Python)
  • Playlists support (video/audio): continuous play, shuffle, also for TVShow/Season/Episodes
  • Save ATVSettings.cfg after changes

Known issues:

  • Missing support for Plex Home
  • No news on subtitles/stacked files replay over v0.4

PlexConnect v0.4

High level changelog:

  • Channels working in MyPlex
  • Refresh sections on servers via the ATV (press and hold select when the sections highlighted)
  • Validation of settings.cfg file (incorrect settings revert to default)
  • Flatten seasons if only one is present
  • Ability to run PlexConnect as a service on Windows (see support/Win folder - note: requires install of pyWin32 for your specific version of Python)

  • Support Plex dialogue boxes
  • Subtitle renderer
  • Stacked files: notify PMS of correct time to resume on other client
  • GUI: library view options for Grid, Bookcase

Known issues:

  • Subtitle renderer: sync issue after RW/FF/jumping in the file - currently blaming PMS/transcoder?!?

  • Audio replay: only one song in a row. :-(
  • Portuguese localisation - fixed in commit 6c00e3b.
