June 9, 20206 yr Author On the Settings page please add ?dbg=1 to the URL, then navigate to the plex.tv URL that is output on the page, and would it be possible to send be the output of that?
June 9, 20206 yr Here it is : string(90) "http://192.168.2.211:32400/status/sessions?X-Plex-Token=9MyTokenRedacted&_m=1591731373" Warning: file_get_contents(http://192.168.2.211:32400/status/sessions?X-Plex-Token=9MyTokenRedacted&_m=1591731373): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/plexstreams/includes/common.php on line 103 string(61) "https://plex.tv/devices.xml?X-Plex-Token=9MyTokenRedacted" Change Server: SharedPlex.tv (http://192.168.2.211:32400) There are currently no active streams If I use the URL in the file_get_contents and change it for https, then it return an XML... My Unraid WebUI is http only, but plex does requires https.
June 9, 20206 yr I apologize if this question has been asked and answered. I did a quick scan of thread and may have missed it. Does this plugin only show the count of playing streams? I am using the Live TV and DVR functionality and currently have two recordings going. Reported streams is 0. That is accurate if the plugin only shows if something is playing. EDIT: I assume this is close to an answer Movies only. No indication if music is playing, Photos are being viewed through Plex, recording with the DVR is going on, etc. if I am reading into this correctly. That would be a big ask. It's a good plugin, I just want to make sure I understand what it can and cannot do correctly. Edited June 9, 20206 yr by Hoopster

Hadnt thought about Live TV, so since i Have a tuner and utilize this functionality from time time, let me debug this.

June 9, 20206 yr Just now, dorgan said: It does currently support Movies, TV & Audio Cool, thanks for the reply. I don't use the Plex Live TV function except when traveling. I use the native HDHomeRun app instead. However, I do a lot of OTA recording through the Plex DVR. Showing both Live TV and DVR recording streams would be a great addition if there is an easy way to do that, but, don't break what is working for the sake of that functionality (not that you would ever intentionally break anything) 😀

I can see the XML is actually the list of currently playing media with a bunch of details. When I stop the stream, the XML says MediaContainer Size = 0.

Interesting, can you please show me your settings page. I pull the list of servers from Plex, also besides the screenshot of the Settings page, add ?dbg=1 to that URL as well and then navigate to the plex.tv URL that it outputs, and could you DM me the output of that file??
June 9, 20206 yr Settings page of what? your plugin? or Plex server settings? it doesn't output a plex.tv URL, only the one I display here ? Maybe i'm not understanding where to look

I pushed out 2020.06.09c which has a setting to force https. You'll need to select this, hit save and then select a default server from the list and hit save again. I have been unable to recreate this issue locally, so this is kind of a guess. Do you know if you have Plex requiring secure connections? Edited June 10, 20206 yr by dorgan

Do you know if you have Plex requiring secure connections? Good news and bad news The Good News is that there is no more an error when going on the PLEX_STREAMS tab. It display "There are currently no active streams". On the Dashboard, it says "0 active stream(s)". The bad news is that it doesn't see the active streams because they were 1 running. I also compared with Tautulli and it sees the stream just fine in there, so there is still something not working in the plugin.

Once installed, go to plex stream settings if Use SSL Connection is not set to "On" set it hit save, then select a server and hit save again. I'll eventually circle back to this to not require the second save...

June 11, 20206 yr Hi there and thanks for a great plugin. Now I'm sorry if this has been covered before but I believe this plugin can hang the whole UnRAID WebUI if the Plex docker container is paused for too long, around 1 hrs or so. I just recently paused my Plex docker while using the UnBalance plugin to consolidate some media folders, after letting the plex container sit in a "paused" state for about an hour, my UnRAID Web UI was completely unreachable. Extract from syslog, this was spammed repeatedly until I ssh'ed into the server and unpaused the plex docker, then everything unlocked and started working again. I can't see any other connection between the webUI and the plex container than this plugin that I recently installed. This is not a major problem as I'll just turn off the plex container instead. Just thought I'd give you a heads up. It is also entirely possible that I am wrong about this, if so I apologize.

Does it still happen? I did adjust some timeout. Second the ajax.php file is called every 5 seconds when you are on the dashboard so technically the longer you sit on the dashboard the more hits you'll see. Unfortunately I recently moved to having my plex install run on a different dedicated machine, but let me see what happens when i shut down the plex server.

Let me know if you experience the problem with the latest version.

Well the lockup happened a couple of hours ago with the version that was new yesterday when I installed it. I notice you published a new version just recently but I haven't tried it again, as I said, it's no biggie but I suppose it could cause problems for someone who don't know about this. I just realized this on chance while searching for "Crashed webui interface" on google, someone mentioned that pausing certain Docker containers could cause this so I quickly had to learn the CLI commands for listing and unpausing dockers. Just to be clear, it happened when Plex container was paused, not stopped, I'm guessing a paused container confuses the TCP/IP stack in this case.

Maybe, honestly i never thought about pausing a docker container, i think that just introduces too much risk

June 12, 20206 yr Feature request: Could you add all/selectable servers to the Display Dashboard Widget instead of just the one? Amazing work so far. Thank you...
