Hello all, Question for the Devs. I've been a long time Kodi user and finding myself leaning towards switching to Plex. My reasons are mostly due to the several issues I've had with Kodi for a long time and finally I just decided to switch to a more polished but more simpler offering. With that said, I am curious if the developers have reached out to Plex for integration and if that is even in the conversation for the future. Thank you for this awesome tool and keep up the great work. Best Regards, - JD

I have seen a previous request to integrate CinemaVision into Plex. Given Plex's current direction to monetize everything, and provide worthless features like news, that is extremely unlikely to occur. The best case scenario is that they buy you guys Which is also the worst case scenario, as they would only have the integration on certain apps, get a minimum viable product out the door, and promptly move on to something else, ignoring Cinemavision from a support standpoint. However, there could be a backdoor way to use CinemaVision with a Plex server and client - OpenPHT. OpenPHT is a community driven fork of Plex Home Theater, which happens to be built off of Kodi. It is feature rich, customizable and supports many feature and capabilities that the official Plex client for windows does not. I recently switched to OpenPHT from my Roku clients, due to it's limitations (primarily around Plex and Roku's inability to play DTS-HD.MA 7.1 audio.) The OpenPHT developers are currently working on version 2, which will be built of a new version of Kodi. Now seems like a perfect time to integrate OpenPHT and Cinemavision I have posted a feature request over at the OpenPHT section of the Plex forums, to drum up interest from that side. https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/296492/feature-request-cinemavision-integration/p1?new=1
