Has anyone got any information regarding the use of external inputs to a channel, in particular I'm thinking key presses for triggering events in a channel such as pausing a stream etc. I've been looking all day and found nothing.

[REL] MythTV plug-in
Update: version 0.5beta has been released for beta-testing - see https://forums.plex.tv/topic/86644-mythtv-plug-in/page-13#entry852522 for features and other details.
Note: This is a beta-release, and will contain (even) more errors than a regular release. If you're not prepared to put up with this, wait for the regular 0.5 release which is expected in a couple of weeks (quicker if enough of you volunteer for beta-testing)
Update: version 0.4 fixes bug causing snippets of live TV (watched using the MythTV frontend) to appear as recordings
Note: PlexSync - which stopped working for recordings a while back - now works again after I upgraded my Ubuntu to Plex Media Server 0.9.11.4. I'm crossing my fingers that it doesn't break again - but so far it's good (on iOS clients)
Update: version 0.3 fixes bug causing deleted recordings to remain visible.
Update: version 0.2 now supports PlexSync!
If you have a PlexPass account (required for the PlexSync feature, I believe), you can now sync MythTV recordings to you Plex client (e.g. iPad) for offline viewing. See http://mymediacenter.me/2012/11/26/new-plex-feature-plexsync/
Note: 2 lines of code on my part - all credit goes to the Plex team for the awesome PlexSync feature!
Guys,
I've had MythTV installed and working on my servers for ages (3-4 years) - primarily for recording TV - but is has always been a bit of a pain to actually play back the recordings on the TV in the family room.
So having enjoyed the ease-of-use of Plex with a Roku3 client for a while, I thought I'd try to make a plugin allowing me to watch MythTV recordings through Plex.
The result has passed the family test (ḱids & wife have used it for a couple of weeks now), so I thought I'd share the results, in case anyone else out there could use it:
The plug-in can be found at https://github.com/tschaumburg/MythRecordings.bundle, along with a wiki at https://github.com/tschaumburg/MythRecordings.bundle/wiki, including installation instructions and a load of screenshots.
Note that this plugin requires that you have a Linux server with a working MythTV backend (I can recommend the MythBuntu distribution, which wraps everything in one install - but expect the tuning of channels and setup of program guide data to be a bit cumbersome...:-).
Let me know if you find this useful - and contributions through github are most welcome!
Here's a screenshot (the gobbledegook in the programme descriptions is Danish - hopefully your EPG provider will have descriptions in your language!):

IMDB movie trailer channel broken, can it be fixed?
Hi everyone, I was using the IMDB channel for quite a while, essentially the only way I watch trailers, most times better selection than what apple offers. Then IMDB updated their site and now it doesn't work. All I get is "The channel is not responding".
I tried my hand at possibly fixing the channel and honestly didn't know what I was doing. Still don't 
The original channel is here and it is installable via the unsupported appstore. My fork/comment to change it has gone silent for 6 months now. It's found here with a few changes I thought were correct. The main trailer section of their site is here.
I even downloaded and modified the python script, then created a new bundle and copied it to the server. It still didn't work.
Any ideas on how to get this to work, or if it's even possible?
Thanks!

[REL] Dreambox plugin 0.1 is done
A first draft for your viewing pleasure
Hey everyone,
Early January I gave the very talented Sander a challenge, and we worked a week on it. The challenge was to try and create a Dreambox plugin which I could use in my setup which would fetch my cousins dreambox content.
I am pleased to say that we have a working first draft which you guys can tryout if you want to.
It uses the raw stream at a specific IP, but we also tried to build in support for having a transcoder at a seperate address in case people outside your network wants to view, but has limited bandwidth.
The development of that plugin is on hold at the moment, but you are welcome to try it out: https://github.com/sander1/Dreambox.bundle
EDIT: The above link is for the original version which now is outdated. The latest greeeny101-version can be found here: https://github.com/g...Dreambox.bundle
Go into the plugin, choose preferences. In the host field you add the IP address to your dreambox. In the "web interface port" you add the port which the web interface uses. This plugin uses the web interface to change channels. The field called "Streaming video port" should contain the port from which you stream transcoded material (if any).
Maybe in the future Sander will have time to help me flesh this out, but for now this is what exists. Let me know how it works for you guys.
Limitations: This plugin is only tested with the web interface that is called Enigma Web Interface - Pli Edition. Until more development is done to support the Dreambox API, no other web interface will work I believe.

[REL] TheOldRadioSet - simple internet radio stream (of your choice)
This is a very simple internet radio streaming plugin for Plex. In the settings, you can add your own internet radio URL (mp3 only at the moment) and a title for the station. Then it plays it. That's it. It is useful for me so hope some of you find it useful too....
https://github.com/WBGSReject/plex-plugin-theoldradioset
The code was copied from an example by DiegoV in New Zealand so thanks to him for the example.
Cheers, Ian

[REL] ExportTools
This is the official thread for
ExportTools
About
What this little app/channel can do, is simply to export your library sections into csv or xlsx files, allowing you to open up the exported files in like Excel or siml. afterwards.
It also can export posters, in the size you decide
Note: If running PMS on Windows, and exporting into xlsx format, you must be running a version above PMS V1.3! And if not, use csv output format until upgraded
Currently exports Movie, TV-Show, Audio, Photo sections as well as playlists
Do note, that when doing so, to set the encoding to UTF-8 in excel, if exporting to csv.
This plug-in will always be considered "a work in progress", and will change rapidly, if devs get an idea, or you guy's suggest something, so fire away.
Manual
To see the manual, go here
And please read above, before posting a question!

[REL] PrimeWire
This is a rewritten version for PrimeWire. It's KISS: you can browse and watch movies and TV Shows, that's it 
I might add some more video providers, but I'm not going to add any other options to this.
NOTES
- THIS PROBABLY DOES NOT WORK IN THE UK
- REMOVE ANY AND ALL OTHER "LET ME WATCH THIS" CHANNELS BEFORE INSTALLING THIS ONE
- ALWAYS TRY THE PRIMEWIRE URL YOU'VE CONFIGURED IN A WEB BROWSER BEFORE POSTING "IT DOES NOT WORK". MAYBE YOU ARE BLOCKED OR THE SOURCE SITE IT DOWN!

HDHOMERUN PRIME- Viewer Channel... Is there a way to get all my live channels listed as channels?
I realize this question could fit in multiple categories. If it would be better suited somewhere else, please let me know.
I have dedicated a lot of time and resources creating my server for Plex. I currently have an Apple XSERVE 3,1 with 64GBs of RAM 2 Quad Core Xeon Processors at 3.4GHz, and a 500GB SSD as the primary drive. My storage array consists of 2 Apple XSERVE RAIDs connected by fiber to the server with a total of 20TB's of storage. I currently have 2,000 movies, and 200 full series tv shows.
Alas, it's not enough for me. Plex has become my favorite pet project. I want it to replace everything. So I recently purchased an HDHOMERUN Prime. Got a cable card from Comcast and proceeded with the setup. I installed the thirdparty channel HDHOMERUN Viewer and that brings me to my question...
The viewer works pretty well. But I've always wanted the channel section under plex to contain actual live channels. I find it annoying that I have to click through three menus before I actually get to the live channels. I also want a cleaner look. I am using Plex for literally everything. I realize this isn't how it was designed, or even what it was meant for. But that is the beauty of Plex. You can really make it custom to whatever fits your needs. So, has anyone been able to find a way to list live channels under the Channel section? Some plugin, or custom script I could run to make it easier for my household to navigate the live TV section? Any other awesome things I could do with my Plex that I'm not thinking about?
Thanks!

Wondering if HDHR viewer recently stopped working for anyone else?
It doesn't matter which channel I select I get the same message "cannot load m3u8: 404 not found." I tried reverting to previous version of PLEX server but still get the problem. Everything else on PLEX is working. Not sure what to do next?
