In addition to being a stand-alone media center, MrMC can also be a Plex client. This feature is built-in and requires no additional files or modules of any kind (besides a Plex server, of of course).
If you don't already have a Plex server set up, or would like to learn more about Plex, see http://plex.tv and the Plex Media Server documentation.
How it works
When a user is logged into their Plex server from the MrMC settings, the Plex video library is used as if it were the normal MrMC video library. Movies and TV show tabs will show up on the home screen, and watch/resume history shared, just as any other Plex client would do.
Singing in
From the MrMC home screen, go into Settings -> Services -> Plex client
- Plex.tv Manual sign-in
- Manual sign-in will ask for your Plex.tv username and password. These can be entered using the on-screen-keyboard. You can also enter text by using the iOS remote app, which might make entering long passwords easier.
- Plex.tv Pin request sign-in
- Pin request allows you to log in from a web browser on your computer, phone, or tablet. A code will show up on the screen that you will need to enter on http://plex.tv/pin. This code is only valid for a short while, so if you wait too long then you will need to select the pin request option in MrMC again for a new pin. Once entered correctly, the Plex settings will show that you are now logged in.
- Plex Server GDM discovery
- An older method of finding Plex servers. Not recommended, as Pin Request is easier and more secure, but is still available as an option. For more information about GDM discovery please see: https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200430283-Network
