Dune HD Media Player Plugin

The Dune HD Media player is a device that can play audio/video shared from a NAS on your home network. It can also act as a NAS by itself by installing disk(s) into the device itself.

This plugin can be used to trigger scenes on your Vera device automatically when player enters different states. For example lower blinds when movie starts or turn on lights when movie is stopped.
