but it isn’t. My phone’s MAC is 24:da…
Okay is it your CC’s?
negative, sir
Come on don’t keep me in suspense here 
the position of the MAC address should be your player ID (thinking Squeeze)
That MAC address doesn’t exist on my Network. I checked every item connected to my router. And I didn’t change it to 00.01.02… it really is showing that way on the page.
It’s a 3Com MAC and it’s pointing the picture to that specific player owning that MAC address
Weird. I have no clue what that MAC is. I checked all the devices connected to my router a 2nd and 3rd time. It does not exist. Off to work now though, so THANK YOU for all your help!
I’ve updated the code to include catching and displaying an error. If the screen is going blank, an error is occurring. If you want to try it, check out the post where I put the code.
You may also want to change your media player in your code to be your phone instead of the chrome cast. On my iPhone, if I airplay from Plex to an Apple TV, I have to use the iPhone as the media player.
I’ll check it out when I get home this evening and see if I can get it working with the new code. I’m not feeling up to SSHing in from my phone today to do it. Lol
Ha! Yeah, I don’t blame you.
The more I think about it, this may be a situation just like me air playing from my phone to the appletv- you’ll need to specify your phone as the media player because that is running the actual Plex client (you’re using the Plex client on your phone).
Still, some event is getting triggered and sent by your chromecast. My guess is it just doesn’t have the pic, but there should be a log entry showing the bus signaling. If you go under the developer tools and click the i button on the far rogjt, you’ll see the log. I’ve attached an example from my system showing the log after I scrolled down to the latest entries.
I had checked that one and the log in the config directory thinking it might have more info. The problem I am beginning to see is that if the DMP will only follow one media player, it probably isn’t going to work for me with the CC. I may have to stop are 4 of use in the house with phones and any one of them could be starting a movie, not just mine.
You can list multiple players (or phones in your case) in the entities variable. DMP will show whatever content the last phone/player uses.
This is odd, but my phone does not show up as an entity. My wife’s ipad does though…
media_player.arwen_s_ipad
media_player.gorgonAnd the MAC is her’s? I’ll keep repeating that the MAC belongs to the player where the movie is playing. 
Nope. That MAC does not exist on my network lol
That is like soooo weird.
Dude, try running an ARP command. If you have Windows its “arp -a”. Sometimes your router will not show all MAC addresses.
ran ARP from the linux server and still no MAC anything like that one
I made a few changes to DMP for Plex.
The big change is when you first load the page or stop watching something in Plex (meaning Plex goes to idle), DMP will cycle through the movies posters for all unwatched movies.
I made a few other tweaks as well, mostly to just verbiage (using terms like Now Showing, Intermission).
The updated code is at post 53 in this thread.
Nice Lanky. You beat me to it. Good job
