Devices

(Devices)

Overview

Media grabbers provide ways for media to be obtained for a given protocol. The simplest ones are stream and download. More complex grabbers can have associated devices

Network tuners can present themselves on the network using the Simple Service Discovery Protocol and Plex Media Server will discover them. The following XML is an example of the data returned from SSDP. The deviceType, serviceType, and serviceId values must remain as they are in the example in order for PMS to properly discover the device. Other less-obvious fields are described in the parameters section below.
