Has Anyone Tried this with Plex? If so how did you configure the buttons?

I am using it on a Windows 7 machine and had to configure absolutely nothing.

Not sure - but I did find it annoying the remote did not have direction keys (ie: up, down, left, right) it only has a mouse which isn't always effective for htpc configurations especially when the application UI is normally manipulated with direction keys for quick navigation. My use was on a htpc with xbmc and had to return the product because it didn't satisfy my need. Hope this helps.Wm

You can use whatever remote you'd like. I have directv. I'm not using there remote. I have ir emitters on the boxes and an mx3000 set to rf. I've been using this hdflow for a while now and it hasn't blinked. I'm about to add 2 more

Update, i called Roku customer service, they said no. They are preset from the manufacturer. They advised maybe sometime in the future.

Yes, I have mine controlling the Roku now.I used to have it programmed to the Harmony 550 and the "menu" button took you to the home screen, on the 510 it does not. You have to add this command, no problem.

What seems to be happening? How do you have them configured? Provide more specific details and I can possibly assist.

Yep, but in some installs of xbmc the volume buttons might not work (on mine the volume up didn't work but the volume up did.) if you find that's the case, check into keymapping, or PM me and I can help you fix it.

HDMI 3 solved the "issue" for me - never saw it again once I used that input. I also do have Anynet function turned on and my TV remote controls my Receiver. When I used HDMI 1 and switched source on my receiver, I saw the "STB Button" message all of the the time.

I use this remote with the original Roku that is square and came with a rectangle remote. I don't remember what the A/B buttons did but this one I use the back button, the arrows and the okay center just fine. Even the play/pause/stop and home button works. Sometimes I won't work and I will have to push the streaming button again and it works just fine. I think my kids get ahold of it and just push buttons. It has worked great for me and I cannot lose it because of it's size. The Roku remote is so small I lost it so many times and the last time it was never found.

so far I can only do it with remote. If there is another way I haven't figured it out yet.

Actually I just did this in an art gallery. I put one 8 minute mp4 in the root directory (no subfolder). All the staff had to do was turn on the player and the monitor, and it played looped all day automatically. They never used the remote control. What it doesn't seem to do is play mixed files (video and photos). But it will play through multiple movies then loop back to the first one.There is a "settings" from the remote control. You can choose "autoplay" and "movie" in the menu items. That sets your "default" player.

I have different components, but I have 2 Harmony remotes with a mix of Sony, Samsung, Apple TV, and an x-box 360. All are controlled as I wish them to be. Set-up is a grind, but cannot be rushed.

I purchased the DS412+ primarily to serve my media via Plex Media Server. I have not encountered any issues with multiple formats although I do tend to use mpeg2 for most of my movies. I stream across 1GB LAN to Rokus and games consoles but have not experienced any significant lag streaming wirelessly to tablets either. I have not had to alter any of the transcoding environment variables in the Plex Server. Install is a breeze too as Plex is listed in the application portfolio on the management console.

To do anything, first you have to set it up right, program the rf-20 to take the place of all your remotes. My setup uses the audio receiver as the "heart" of the system. The DVD and cable box feed the receiver with audio and video, then the receiver feeds the projector and speakers. I hit "audio" from the main menu, then that switches the rf-20 into a control mode for the receiver. One of the menu options is "input", by pushing that button, the receiver toggles through all possible hdmi input options. You can also program one of the buttons as a "macro" which will automatically turn the components into the right operating position. It takes pre-programming about 10 steps for my system to do it right, but is very possible.

I have not tried that but I stream from a home server with no problems.I hope this helps.

Glad I could help you and that you're now able to stream your MKVs! I didn't even bother with the CIFS Login/Password thing because the WMP12 server worked right away for me once I 'allowed' it in my Homegroup settings. If you ever figure out the CIFS thing, feel free to give us an update here and let us know what you did. I'm not really worried about it since the WMP12 feature works fine, but I'd still like to know just in case.
