  • I am planning a rewrite of this plugin, and will add that to the list of support besides also being able to support other media server platforms

Plugin and Unraid 7.2.0RC2 are not playing nice together. Filled up phplog to 90Mb almost filling up my /var/log entirely.

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.

What file is it putting entries into specifically?

/var/log/phplog was just filling up with errors that called out plexstream specifically.

I wish I kept the log file bit it was errors like when you have incorreect or missing arguments from code calls. like throwing exceptions.

My guess is the php version was updated and now doesn't recognize something your plugin is trying to do. The plugin didnt stop working or anything just filled my phplog file up.

I'm running Plex on the host network. Plugin will retrieve Plex token but won't ever list servers. Tried both SSL on and off. If I manually input the URL streams show on the Plex Streams page but not on Dashboard widget.

Further clarification

Frankly the lack of even a response forced me to go to a different monitor system that actually works... the never populating servers but getting the token is a issue that needs addressing .. till then tautulli it is..

I have Tautulli running already. I like the connivence of having it on the dashboard that way if I need to do maintenance I know if it's going to disturb anyone's viewing.

Interesting. The Plex Streams plugin is working great on my main server. It's running Unraid 7.2.2 and there have been no problems for me with Plex Streams for a few years now.

It seems to just be a issue for new adopters if you look through this thread you folks that have had it a while seem to not be affected

it looks like the creator removed it from the app store and it is depreciated at this point in time for anyone else wanting to use it.
