Yup that’s right I am still here and I believe for most of us the plugin is working just fine. It’s when the plex instance isn’t registering with plex that there is an issue and I don’t know the circumstances that cause that. I just know that I can only work off the list of servers that comes back in my initial call to plexes server to get the list of servers.

What issue are you reporting?

Still working for me on unraid 7.2.3 I am not really sure why some people are having problems are others arent. @Squid Not sure why this was marked as deprecated.

Ok I’ll take a look

What file is it putting entries into specifically?

Working just fine for me today. I just upgraded to RC2 and its working as expected. Both the Plex Stream screen and the widget on the dashboard For those of you having issues, is your plex instance running in a container and if so what do you have the Network Type to? I believe depending on the network type the plex API has a hard time getting IP addresses. My Plex instance runs on a different machine, but when I was running it in docker, i used bridge or host and those seem to work just fine. Please let me know and I can try re-creating that locally to see if I can get it to work, but ultimately the IP address list is populated by an API call to Plex, not to your local plex instance, and if that call doesnt return a list of IP addresses then I have nothing to populate the selection list with.

I will take a look this weekend

It does just work for MANY. Have you tried my suggestion yet? I definitely want to assist in getting this issue resolved for many, but as I stated it is the results coming back from Plex that are the problem. Also feel free to open a pull request here https://github.com/dorgan/Unraid-plexstreams if you think there is a code issue. When I have some time this weekend I will see if I can update the plugin to be able to operate without getting the IP's from Plex, maybe a local only mode. But if you could also try my suggestion I believe it will help you work around your issue. I am a single developer working on this, i do it in my VERY little spare time which has gotten less and less are my children have gotten older, but I personally still use the plugin and like to add fixes and enhancements when I can.

I would say I am pretty responsive as life permits. Unfortunately the issues that some are having lately is related to the fact that PLEX not my plugin doesn’t have an IP address recorded on their side. The plugin uses the plex API both on your local plex server as well as on plex’s side, and unfortunately the first request I make is to PLEX to get the list of IP addresses and they are giving a valid response but it contains no IP addresses. The only thing I can suggest that has worked for others that have encountered this is to actually expose your plex docker to get an IP from your local network and not the docker network.

I‘lol have to look into this.

The API call I speak of is directly to Plex, not to your local plex server.

Interesting. That list is populated by a call to plex’s API. So it means plex cannot get the details. I’ll add a note for this.

Interesting. My plex server doesn’t run on unsaid, but I can look into this and see if there is something I can do.

Damn I was hoping that was the smoking gun… I’m not really sure why the plex api isn’t returning any servers for you.

just occurred to me, do you have a plex pass?
