I would like to have the lights turn on when the media is stopped. However, if I stop media from playing, the status doesn't change. It still says Playing, even though its stopped.
Even when using the STOP keyboard shortcut ("X"), the client stil says PLAYING in the status, so something is not being updated here...
Hey guys, unfortunately there is nothing I can do here... I was able to replicate your
exact situation by installing PHT on my Mac. I played a movie, stopped it (view returned to the details page, no longer showing the play screen) and watched the communication between the plugin and the server. The server still believed the PHT application to be playing for at least 80 seconds at which time I closed the details on PHT and approximately 20 seconds later the server showed the client as having stopped playing. This is looking directly at the server's published information and the same that updates basically instantly for Roku and Chromecast clients, so this is an issue with PHT.
One theory may be that the PHT is doing something with caching or leaving the player up-but-hidden in case you were to click play again. Just a guess, but it is doing SOMETHING that makes the server believe it is still player, so the Indigo plugin won't be able to do much of anything with improving the status updates. I would suggest switching to another client if you relish immediate feedback, at least for the time being.
