Remote Control? #84

Open blastbeng opened 7 months ago

blastbeng commented 7 months ago

Hello, I have a remote rpi server that I use to power on and off my Computer

The reason I've installed plex on my PC is that I have a Powerful GPU inside it, for sure better than the potato rpi gpu. So using plex there with attached SATA disk is better in my opinion.

But now the problem is that when I'm outside home i'd like to have the ability to start/stop/reboot the plex services remotely (via windows SSH, it is already enabled in my PC, i can ssh into a Admin CMD shell). Is it possibile to do that with the PmsService?

I don't want to have plex open when pc power on, but i want to control the PmsService remotely to power on plex just when i need it.

Thanks
