Reboot after uninstalling fixed the SMB share issue for me.

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.

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.

I'll give it a try and reply with results

Installed OK and my SMB shares still work.

Found out why it wasn't appearing on the dashboard - this plugin appears to conflict with Dynamix Active Streams. I removed the dynamix plugin and this one popped right up like it should.

Awesome!

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

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

It works as intended now. Widget popped up automatically on the dashboard.

It works now. smb is reachable. Thx

Any idea when it will get checked out again and unblacklisted?

@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I can attest that the current reason for blacklisting is no longer applicable with the newest version.

anything i need to fix/repair if i have this plugin installed for the last couple of weeks? or did you fix what was wrong (not only for new installs)?

I've been using this gentleman's plugin since my first post in this thread and it works perfectly fine for me for both plex and jellyfin at the same time.

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.

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?

plugin has worked great for a couple of weeks, no problems with SMB anymore. if thats the only reason its blacklisted, it should be ready CA approval. not sure how to expedite.

Suggest to maintain the widget width, currently the widget would expand if the movie title is too long, so cause the dashboard layout changes.

can u do name to roll? like if there is too many letters

also device must be text? cant be an icon? like Plex for Windows just icon etc

You messed something up, now on the dashboard it always has the active streams header:

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.

the orange dot can be changed for plex icon? also device name change to just windows icon

it will be so nice

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.

if I rename active streams to plex streams, will not see it on dashboard, am I doing something wrong?

EDIT: my fail, need to update dashboard and check "plex streams" to show

EDIT2: btw is it possible to give us bigger Plex icon, not just orange triangle on black backround, better will be real plex icon, thx!
