#Pyplex

##Introduction

This is an implementation of an idea on the Plex forums - that the Raspberry Pi could use a Plex client that had no interface, and was just designed to be operated using an iOS device or similar as a remote. Only the very barest bones functionality is here, but I hope that it is reasonably easy to extend.

##Before you install

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo wget https://raw.github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-update/master/rpi-update
sudo cp rpi-update /usr/local/bin/rpi-update
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/rpi-update 
sudo rpi-update 192
sudo reboot
sudo vim config.txt > to set arm_freq to 1000
sudo reboot
sudo apt-get install avahi-daemon
sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo pip install tornado
sudo pip install pexpect
sudo apt-get install python-avahi 

##How to use

Launch with

python pyplex.py [hdmi]

Where [hdmi] is optional to make sure audio is going over hdmi, leaving it out will devault to the 3,5mm jack output.

Then 'Raspberry Plex' should appear as a player you can choose in your Plex client. Choose your media, and select this as the player to play it on. It should begin playing on your Raspberry Pi!

I must reiterate how bare-bones this is. Once you start playing the media, you either wait for it to finish, or

killall omxplayer.bin
