Tasker can perform intents, so what I'd like to be able to do is create a Tasker scene that is in effect a "remote control" for Plex or whatever, where the commands are sent via intents (hopefully that suppresses the opening and closing of the remote launcher app)
So If you could make or show a basic scene that shows how 1 intent looks like in tasker, the creative people can carry forward with improving it
I also noticed that the PC server app will popup configuration message if a different user account logs into the same system. So you might want to see if there is a way for it to look for a config file or something.
Unfortunately even if using Intents with Tasker, the app will still popup and then close... I'm afraid that is because of how I coded it to begin with. That's is definately something that should be changed but requires quite a bit of refactoring.
There is a very basic Tasker example here:

but I'll try to add more details and examples.
Yes, the configuration file is unique for each user. It probably wouldn't be very hard to let the user point out a different path for the config file, but possibly an even better solution would be to run the server as a service with global configuration. Then again, in that case you wouldn't be able to have different settings for different users,,,
