Indigo Domotics

Hello,

Has anybody reported any issues with Plex clients on the Apple TV 4? When I play the client status pretty much immediately shows "Playing" but when I pause a movie it doesn't update and the indigo logs start showing....

Error cannot update device state for key clientConnectionStatus to value buffering (invalid enumeration value)

The moment I start playing again the error stops logging.

If I log the client status when it is paused I get the following...

clientConnectionStatus : playing (string)
clientConnectionStatus.connected : false (bool)
clientConnectionStatus.disconnected : false (bool)
clientConnectionStatus.paused : false (bool)
clientConnectionStatus.playing : true (bool)


Is it possible that Plex added a new connectionStatus of 'buffering' and the plugin doesn't know how to handle it?

Absolutely possible as they've done quite a few updates to the server since that enumeration was created -- and even then the API is not really very documented. Some Plex folks helped get the first API docs out, but they don't officially support it too well with documentation. I'll get that state added in.

Please give the latest updated (v1.1.2) a try and see if it works out okay for you...

Thanks for the quick turn around I did have to delete the devices and re-add for the buffering start to start working... but the errors have stopped.

Is there a good place for me to report this to the Plex team? It looks like Apple TV is the only client incorrectly reporting as buffering instead of paused.

I hate to have to create multiple triggers looking for paused vs buffering based only on which Plex client I'm targeting

I don't know that there is anything to report anyway as this could technically be a valid status... If anything, the onus would be on Apple, not Plex I believe.

You don't need multiple triggers for this, however... set a trigger on the status changing and then set conditions on the trigger to execute if it is either paused or buffering.
