Indigo Domotics

The Plex Plugin stopped working some rime agar when I moved the Plex Library to its own iMac.

Now Christmas is upon us time to get back into Indigo and fix up all the things that have fallen over while I have been swamped for the last 12 months.

But unfortunately cannot get Indigo to connect to either the OLD Plex or the new Plex.

The Old one has almost nothing left on it. But is up and running.

In trying both Old and New - I have Copied and Pasted IP Addresses from Plex settings and username and password from my password vault and confirmed the username/password is correct.

But cannot get the Plex Plugin to connect at all

Code: Select all

Anyone any idea why it is failing - or is a compatibility issue with Plex Version 1.21.1.3830

It would be nice to get this working again

I can authenticate using the same credentials into Plex client connecting to the same Plex Server.

Cutting and Pasting to ensure consistency.

So I know that the credentials are good, I know the IP and Port are good as I cut and pasted them from the Plex Server config.

I know there is network connectivity I can connect to the Plex Server from the Indigo Server.

Is it possible that the Plex Plugin just doesn't work anymore and I am banging my head against a wall?

As far as I know it should be working fine... I haven't had mine on in about a month because I moved Plex servers as well and have been lazy.

You entered the credentials that you use to login to the Plex.tv account, not a local server account, right?

I have plans to do some updates to the Plex plugin at some point anyway, but I'll try to hook mine back up this evening and see if I run into any issues.

Thanks, I’ll check again in the morning.

Spent a few hours trying different combinations.

Must admit, never occurred to me two types of Plex login.

Thanks for tip

Must admit, never occurred to me two types of Plex login.

It has been a long while since I wrote the authentication portion of that, but IIRC people had some issues getting the API to recognize local authentication accounts, but the Plex.tv account worked fine every time. It does, unfortunately, tie you to having an active internet connection to start up the plugin (so it can obtain/validate the token), but afterwards no connection is necessary.

but I'll try to hook mine back up this evening and see if I run into any issues.

I switched my plugin over to my new Plex server last night and it seemed to work just fine... I confirmed that I am using the Plex.tv authentication information. Were you able to try with those credentials?

Adam

I will spend some more time on this today.

But I am using the account with an email address for logging in, so not sure why it is complaining.

Thanks for confirming it is working and it is a local issue here.
