Currently, it supports only browsing and watching the recordings. You cannot schedule or delete recordings.

The code is avaliable at: https://github.com/derolf/Plex.ArgusTV.bundle
To install, it has just to be "git cloned" into the plugins folder of PMS

It has four "virtual directories":
* Schedules / latest recordings first
* Schedules / alphabetically
* Titles / latest recordings first
* Titles / alphabetically
* Latest 10 recordings

Inside those virtual directions, you will find the recordings and just click to watch. It tried it out with the following Plex clients for:
- iOS: iPad 1, iPad 2, iPad Air,
- WP8.1: Lumia 930
- Linux: Chrome web frontend

Omg, why haven't I seen this before?!? This is amazing, I have been waiting for something like this forever.
Gonna try it out as soon as I have reinstalled my server.

Do you have plans to develop further on it and get livetv working?
I would happily help test it.

Now I've just tried installing it, but I am having some problems with the settings. Could you elaborate a little on the different settings?
i.e. what is the username and passwords that should be used? Is this for the windows-user, for the database go for the Webinterface?

I've tried a bunch of different settings, but keep getting a "server unavailable" error.

Me too. Could you please tell us what these settings should be?

I think I figured it out....it isn't using any Argus TV ports or credentials...it's trying to log into and query the MySQL database directly. I don't think you can use this without using MySQL.

I'm using the SQLLite database, so I guess that unless I download the source and modify it, I'm out of luck.
