Loving the latest release! I am having an issue where it does not show artwork however. Happy to troubleshoot it, just not sure where to start. To clarify, the plugin fully works, just the artwork is a blank rectangle.

Unraid 7.2.4
Plugin 2026.08.24 

First let’s start by enabling debugging visiting the page while a stream is playing. Then you should be able to copy the log and message me with it. Also can you tell me what browser you are using and is it all artwork, just a specific server type e.g. plex, jellyfish, envy?

I only have it configured for plex. I use Firefox. I use a domain and have had this plugin configured and working that way but with the aforementioned poster bug. I toggled secure connections and selected a secure connection to my server it had discovered instead of using my custom url. That got the posters working fine. Hope this helps if anyone else runs into this!

I did send my logs to the maintainer to assist with bug hunting.

@dorgan - Just got around to updating this plugin. Been running it for years, and it has always worked for me without any issues.

OMG! This rewrite definitely brings it to the next level! It looks fantastic. All of the info one could possibly want, all in one place (two, if you have the dashboard widget installed as well as the tab). And it all looks great. Thanks for your work on this.

Can't find it in Community Applications

Yeah unfortunately I am still waiting for it to get approved, but you can always manually install it via this url: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dorgan/Unraid-plexstreams/refs/heads/master/plexstreams.plg

Thank you. Installed. Now I've got this on the Dashboard widget after connecting Plex:
Unable to retrieve stream information

Did you go into the settings and it things up?

If you already added a server can you enable the debugging and visit the plex stream page then copy and send me the log in a DM. That should help us track down any issue. One thing I will note is for plex it’s best to use one of the servers from the list rather than a custom one and also if you require https enable that.

The app is now available from community apps once again.

I've now added a test connections button as well as a validation step when adding a server it will check to see if the Unraid serve is able to connect to the server. The two instance so far where the updated plugin has had issues is because a custom domain was being used that was not accessible from the unraid server, whether it be because of outside port mappings or some other issue. Hopefully this helps prevent adding a server that is not accessible.

I am running 7.4.0 rc1 beta and never used Plex Streams before. When I installed and go into Settings | Plex Streams the config is blank with no options. If I create a plexstreams.cfg I see all the options and I can set them.

If I reboot my server I notice this:

even though those exist in my plexstreams.cfg

DISPLAY_NAV="0"

DISPLAY_WIDGET="1"

Plugin works perfect in my Dashboard.

Any way to fix this error on boot and the blank settings screen?

Thanks,

Fixed thanks!

I just noticed a quirk on the display where a 4K file gets reported as 1600p in the plugin, while Plex itself shows it as 4K HDR10.

Turned out it's just a reporting difference! The movie is a cropped widescreen encode at 3840x1600 with the black bars removed. The Unraid plugin just reads that literal 1600px vertical height, while Plex groups it under the standard 4K label because of the width.

It's Direct Playing perfectly to my Nvidia Shield with zero transcoding, so it's just a cosmetic quirk. Thought I'd share in case anyone else sees this and gets confused! :)

Is it safe to ignore the error within Fix Common Problems that states the plugin is deprecated again?

I know it popped up a while ago then it was updated and error went away but now back again.

Im on version 2026.10.16 and havent reinstalled since first install, as its always worked and updated etc

Yes, it’s safe to ignore, let me reach out and see why it’s flagging it as deprecated.
