This is fixed. Looks like the Plex api always reports "Partial HW," even when Direct Play. I've filtered that out and added some additional details to that mouse over tooltip that I'd been wanting to add.

I just tested deleting and adding a server with no issue. Can you provide additional details? Plex/Emby/Jellyfin? What version? Let me take a look at the API and see why that Partial HW is being returned.

Perfect. I'm going to push it to the main release. You'll want to uninstall and switch back so you don't receive any more test releases.

This is the first I've heard of it. What media server were you running?

try this test build. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gthrift/activestreams-unraid/main/activestreams_test.plg uninstall the current plugin and then install using this test link. Your config will be kept.

This is where I'm terrible with front end development. Its strange your's is cutting off so much when there is so much white space... Is this on desktop? What resolution?

Minimum is 1 second, max is 60. It defaults to 5.

I’ll look into using the actual icons. I used the generic colored ones because I was unsure of the legality of using their icons. Jellyfins is likely more straight forward depending on their licensing. Plex and Emby are companies with their logos trademarked I’m sure. I don’t want a takedown for using their IP.

I've pushed version 2026.02.03. It includes the fixes for the rogue Active Streams header, a toggle to enable the text scrolling and some improved CSS that hopefully finally takes care of the overflow and sizing issues (I'm terrible with CSS and styling). I appreciate the request but at this time I don't want to add any additional icons The justification for the orange/green/blue dot was a quick, simple visual indicator of which platform the stream was coming from without too much going on visually. The same goes for the device. My original build when this was just going to be for Emby had icons for the streaming devices along with the title but it was visually too much. I considered just icons, but my personal need was to see where the device was streaming. I have all of my devices named so I'm able to see "Living Room Apple TV" and "Bedroom FireTV". When it was just for Emby, I could also get away with a generic icon, android, apple and firetv. But that was also ignoring the linux, webos, Samsung, Windows, Xbox and other platforms for just Emby. Then adding Plex in and it's probably running on refrigerators and toasters at this point. Jellyfin has new clients popping up everyday. I don't want to go down the path of someone wanting an icon for every client device that exists.

I see that. Easy fix and a stupid oversight. @Wes_S , which version are you running. That should have been fixed on 2026.02.02. I like the scrolling idea. I'll see if I'm able to implement quickly.

I've DM'd him here last week and a day or two ago. I'm not a discord user.

My Active Streams plugin (GitHub | Support Thread) was blacklisted due to a permissions issue on install killing the SMB service. The permissions issue has been resolved and I've reached out to Squid to see if it could be reinstated but have not had a response in a few weeks. I have multiple testers confirming no issues. Is there any other path to reinstatement or am I just waiting on Squid?

Updated to 2026.02.01 today to implement some better security and some best practices based on some useful plugin development documentation another posed on reddit yesterday (for anyone interested - https://github.com/mstrhakr/plugin-docs). The plugin is still blacklisted in the ca store though. I've messaged @Squid a few times but the message still shows unread. Anyone know of anyone else to contact for a review?

If you haven't noticed any SMB issues, rebooted since install or are on 2026.01.07 you should be good. I believe the issue was limited to 2026.01.03 and the SMB issue would be resolved after 1st reboot.

@Squid I think the plugin is in a good state and ready to be evaluated and allowed back in the CA store. The issue was the way I was applying permission during the package build process and during install. I’ve fixed both issues, along with a conflict with the Dynamix Active Streams plugin.

I've renamed the widget .page file to fix the conflict with Dynamix Active Streams in 2026.01.07.

Awesome! I’ll install the dynamix plugin and see how I can resolve the conflict.

If someone is willing to try, I have confirmed 2026.01.06 does not kill SMB on install and the widget shows immediately on the dashboard. I have confirmed this on 7.2.3 and 7.0.1. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gthrift/activestreams-unraid/main/activestreams.plg

That's good. I ran the code through Claude code. The code I used to change the owner from 1001 to root was recursive and changed the permissions for the system folder, breaking SMB. Because it's loaded in RAM, the reboot loads the config from the boot drive and restores access. I never noticed because I rebooted after install to see if it made a difference with the widget not appearing for some. I've removed the owner changes from the install script. I'm going to do more testing and debugging to make sure there's not any more issues before seeing about public testing and reinstatement to the CA store. Apologies to everyone affected.

I haven't seen that on my end. I'll investigate.

Try updating to 2026.01.03. I removed code to hide the widget.

It looks like I have assigned the wrong permissions to the plugin files. Run the command below to assign ownership to root and see if there is a difference. #Change file owner to root chown -R root:root /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/activestreams/ chown -R root:root /boot/config/plugins/activestreams/ #List files to confirm owner change ls -lan /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/activestreams/ | head -5

I have not noticed any conflicts with Plex Streams on my end. I believe the issue either has to do with the way I'm hiding the widget if the user turns it off combined with file permissions. Can you all un the following command in your Unraid terminal and paste the output here or PM it to me? ls -la /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/activestreams/ && echo "---" && cat /boot/config/plugins/activestreams/activestreams.cfg

Delete the installed plugin and reinstall. I was attempting a rebrand but there’s a conflict somewhere I can’t find preventing the widget from loading. I rolled back to my last good version. The current version is Active Streams 2026.01.02.
