-**wmc2Plex** Created by: Salphonso\\ +Wmc2Plex is a Plex channel (plugin) that provides PVR functionality to Plex by enabling it to act as a client to ServerWMC ServerWMC is an application that runs on a WMC installation giving clients like Wmc2Plex access to the Windows Media Center PVR.

-For discussion regarding wmc2Plex please go the forum +ServerWMC must be running on the wmc machine in order for the clients to connect to these services.  Please note that this software relies on wmc being completely configured  (tuners, EPG, channels, etc).  Once configured, it is not dependent on whether wmc is actually running.

 +For the ServerWMC log file, in its application window go to the 'Debug' tab and click the 'Current log' button.  Older logs from previous days can be accessed through the 'Log Directory' button.
 +==== Updates ====
 +Update out on Git for Alpha 0.9.0.
 +
 +**Major changes:**
 +
 +  - Added seperate Guide and LiveTV sections.  Currently LiveTV will just give you a list of the channels with no EPG data.  This is for if you want to get a quick channel list and select to start streaming one.
 +  - Guide sections functions as Channels section did before.  It will show you now playing, and more detailed listing when clicking in the channel itself.  This is where you need to go to schedule recordings.
 +  - Other sections still function as they did before.
 +//Any feedback on the changes are greatly appreciated.  Keep in mind I do plan to add now playing to the LiveTV section.  I am just working on a way to do it without over encumbering the system with channel listing requests.//
