Static Devices
Here is where you can statically assign devices. You want to statically assign a device IF:
- It's a cast device, and you want fancy TTS broadcast notifications to play to it.
- My device scanning function sucks for you, and your device isn't reliably shown in the client list, despite always being on and connected.
Any device defined here that is of the type "Cast" and has the "Broadcast" checkbox checked will be used for broadcast notifications.
Friendly name to display in the client list, and to be used to refer to the device in speech commands.
The IP Address and Port of your client. If you're unsure of this, you can hover over any client entry in the dropdown menu and see it's detected IP and port. It is NOT necessary to specify a protocol - the format of '192.168.1.10:8009 is sufficient.
Options are Cast, Direct, and Indirect.
Cast devices are those that specifically support google's cast protocol.
Direct devices are most FULL Plex clients...like the Windows App, Android App, etc.
Indirect devices are those that aren't necessarily the full Plex app. This is for devices like smart TV's, Rokus, etc.
When checked, and the device is listed as a "cast" device, Phlex will attempt to send TTS notifications to this device if enabled.
