Note: This channel plugin has a number of its own plugins and libraries which can take from a few seconds to a couple of minutes to Initialize after Installation or whenever PMS is restarted.

Binary files installation for OpenLoad and Mega support

Binary files can be download from here with instructions on installation..

• Cryptodome : PyCryptodome is a self-contained Python package of low-level cryptographic primitives
  -- A cryto library required for Host Mega to function. Mega only allows downloading files, not streaming. Currently, G2G and ALL-UC are the only providers that provide links for Mega.
• PhantomJS: PhantomJS is a headless WebKit scriptable with a JavaScript API
  -- A headless browser that allows opening webpages and extracting the final video url required for playback. Currently, OpenLoad is the only host utilizing this.

New automation routine for reqkey cookie. Details on how to set them up are discussed below. You only need 1 of them. Thanks to @Twoure for both the methods.

Note: Important Please read

As of v. 0.50 (Nov-2017) the site seems to not use the cookie token anymore, though it still has it in its code. I'm going to leave that in the channel plugin code incase it is back. So now resetting cookie wont dump any token code and also Webhook (hook.io) and Node.Js parts of the code are not being used (Automation methods discussed below) and not required. The session/cf cookie is still used so Reset Cookie can still fix cookie related issues.

Method 1: Installing a JRE (Java Runtime Engine) like Node.js

The preferred automation routine for the cookie requires a JRE installed on the PMS machine. There are a few other JRE's that might work as well but I have only tested this with Node.js. Once installed restart your PMS and confirm in your channel log if possible and see the following entries to confirm..

2017-05-16 19:41:23,578 (209c) :  DEBUG (core:566) - Finished loading plug-in code
2017-05-16 19:41:26,500 (209c) :  INFO (logkit:16) - execjs loaded from v1.1.0
2017-05-16 19:41:26,500 (209c) :  INFO (logkit:16) - execjs using engine: Node.js (V8)

Then navigate to the Reset Cookie and try a video and check if you are still getting the token error.

Method 2: Using a webhook url - please fork the one below and use your own

The other automation method (primarily where JRE cannot be installed) utilizes a website to run a small script to decode (similar to the manual process using jsfiddle). It is limited to 1000 request per month with their free plan so I request everyone to signup for the free account and fork this script https://hook.io/coder-alpha/test/fork and then enter it under the Channel settings/Prefs

Once you have updated the Settings/Prefs with your webhook-url navigate to Reset Cookie and then try a video and check if you are still getting the token error.

Once you have got one of the above methods working you can set your Cache expiry time to 100 (min.). This will fetch new cookies at that interval. I think the session cookie are valid for 2 hrs.

Method 3: Manual method using jsfiddle

Troubleshooting: General

Restarting PMS can work wonders too in fixing issues and shoo away the ghosts of Plex
Some simple troubleshooting steps that might be useful.

Under Options > Clear Cache (can solve issues if a bad or old copy of a webpage is in memory)
Under Options > Reset Cookies (can solve bad/old cookie values that might be in memory)
If using a browser Clear browser cache or you can use the Inspect tool (Chrome) and Disable cache which works great after performing the first 2 options.
Restarting PMS can solve issues with variables in memory, including cache and cookies.

This is only recommended if the plugin never worked (could be due to a faulty install) and if the above does not solve then the following steps are to perform a fresh install. Save your Bookmarks via Options > Tools before doing so. You will lose your Recent Watchlist.

Via WebTool > Unistall & Install
If you dont have WebTools. Use Factory Reset under Options which will clear all stored variables (including Bookmarks, Recent, and other/all settings). Delete the FMoviesPlus.bundle from your Plex plugins folder. Download a new copy and install.

Troubleshooting: Errors

Video Unavailable. Error: Video Token Algo or
Video Unavailable. Error: Unknown error

• When the site's algorithm to serve the video link changes.
  => Make sure you're on the latest version . If you still see the error try a 'Reset Cookie' & 'Clear Cache' to download new token/code and clear older retrieved links. If issue persists please report on this thread.

Video Unavailable. Error: Token

• When the session/cloudflare cookie is expired or has issues.
  => Set Base Site URL under the channel settings/prefs to fmovies.is.
  If that does not resolve. Make sure you're on the latest version . If you still see the error try a 'Reset Cookie' & 'Clear Cache' to download new token/code and clear older retrieved links. If issue persists please report on this thread.

Error: The page was not received.

• The site might be slow to respond.
  => Give it a few seconds and try again.
  If that does not resolve. Make sure you're on the latest version . If you still see the error try a 'Reset Cookie' & 'Clear Cache' to download new token/code and clear older retrieved links. If issue persists please report on this thread.

Channel not responding

• This error can occur when using the Plex-Web client for a variety of reasons. The timeout for Plex-web client is set by Plex for 20 seconds which is not enough to make certain requests to websites which might need consecutive requests to retrieve a page/video. If the process is not completed within its timeout then you might see this error. This error can also occur when the site has changed its formatting of the webpage served and the channel plugin code cannot cope up with the changes. This error can also happen due to Plex-web caching an incorrect previous response in the browser cache.
  => Give it a few seconds and try again.
  -- If that does not resolve. Make sure you're on the latest version . If you still see the error try a 'Reset Cookie' & 'Clear Cache' to download new token/code and clear older retrieved links. Clear your browser cache and try again.
  
  -- Additionally, you can enable/disable some options under the Channel Prefs/Settings which will reduce unwanted requests being made. Those are No Extra Info. for Nav. Pages (Speeds Up Navigation) - enable it & Use LinkChecker for Videos - disable it.
  
  -- If nothing works then try to visit the site/webpage and confirm it is not being blocked and try the alternate Base Url's under the channel settings/prefs. If issue persists please report on this thread.

Code based/ported from Specto and Exodus (Kodi addons)

For years, I have recorded football games on DirecTV in order to fast forward through stoppages and commercials. Never had a problem, even a decade ago.

When I record a game on Plex (Windows 10 Plex server and Roku App), I can play it back fine but when I fast forward, it won't move or it resets the video to the beginning.

I am transcoding recordings, if that matters.

Is there a known issue with playback of DVR recordings?

Witam,

jeśli ktoś z zebranych chciałby potestować sobie swoje konto Plex z opcją Plex Pass to podając kod promocyjny "ByteMyBits" może tego dokonać

PS. Pamiętać należy żeby po tym okresie anulować tą subskrypcję bo przejdzie ona na wersję płatną.

In the previous Plex version on Xbox One, movie playback would pause (for buffering purposes) maybe once out of every 6 movies or so. Maybe this was caused by temporary network issues. In the current version, it happens at least once or twice with every movie. On top of this, occasionally the movie will stop playing entirely and give the message "An unknown error occurred" or "There was an error decoding". When I resume playing, it starts playing again with no issues (until the next time it stops).

Last night, my wife and I tried to watch a movie and it would error out every 1:20 minutes or so. The only way I could get it to play through was to reduce the local quality from "Original" to "720p 2 Mbps" which was not very enjoyable. Video and audio quality took a nosedive from the original 1080p quality but it was the only way to actually watch the film.

I never had this problem with the old version, and the Plex app on my $20 Roku box works fine.

Something on the server, keeps stopping playback on the TV shows and films.

I watch a film and it'll randomly stop, same on a TV show. If the show is on random then it'll skip to the next one. Both these things are very annoying.

I used to just do it to shows and because they were stored on an old hard drive I upgraded it hoping this would solve the issue but it doesn't. Now it happens on films too!

I say it's the server because this issue happens on the LG tv app and on the Chromecast.

Please help because this is becoming VERY annoying.

The TV app is lex for LG 3.13.3

I have attached the Server logs if anyone can help!

Thanks.

When adding personal "TV-shows" to Plex, how can I change the names of the seasons for the shows? I don't want e.g. "Season 1", I want it to be "About this course" -- and no, setting the tag isn't good enough, because you only see that in the Plex web-app and even there only when you view the season; you don't see it at all in the Android-app, you don't see it when viewing the top-level of the show.

The thing is, I want to add several video-courses to my library, but the way Plex works makes it really hard to do it in any sort of a sane way.

Czy ktoś z Was ma jakieś doświadczenie w "Live TV" na Plex? Co jest potrzebne do możliwości Stremowania TV z Twojego odbiorcy. Pytanie czy jeśli dostanę dekoder od swojego dostawcy JDMI, to czy będę musiał go zamienić na inny i czy będzie on odczytywał telewizję z kablówki?

Czy jest ktoś komu udało się zrobić taki manewr?

Z przyjemnością byłbym zainwestowany takim rozwiązaniem.

I'm putting a show that has been edited (One Pace) to my Plex server and it is split out by arcs. I have turned off matching and put episodes into separate folder by arc.

On the web app, I then select "Folders" view which shows the folders/arcs just fine.

But when I get to the files, they are still grouped up on top of each other (like each episode 01 for 5 arcs is thrown into a single episode on Plex). How can I fix this?

Other question: How can I show file name in the folders view? It defaults to title, but I don't see "file name" in the options to show columns.

I've been having an issue ever since updating to the latest PMS build. I have two servers running. One on a Synology DS412+ and one on my desktop computer running Windows 10. I run two because the NAS isn't powerful enough to do 4K streaming but my computer is. Lately the NAS server keeps disappearing from my authorized devices list and I'll have to manually restart the server to add it back. The problem is, everytime this happens my desktop PMS loses everything in the library. For some reason when the NAS server disappears so does my desktop's PMS connection to the files stored on it. This is incredibly annoying because I look at everything by last date added, so every time the library repopulates everything is the last date added.
I have the NAS mapped to my computer and I can access the files through the explorer and I can also use the web interface and get at the files that way, but my libraries keep disappearing and I can't access anything until I restart my NAS and repopulate the desktop's libraries. I saw one suggestion is to disable "empty trash after each scan" so I did that to keep it from occurring again but can anyone tell me why the Synology based PMS keeps disappearing and why the desktop server things the files are gone? I know the NAS isn't spinning down because I can hear it chugging away and I can access it in other ways.

I have Plex installed on Windows 10 Enterprise Insider Edition which gets updated weekly.
A few days ago all worked fine but after latest update i cannot see the server settings on PC anymore.

The weird thing is that on my TV the Plex server shows up and everything works but on my PC it does not work.

I am running PMS as a windows service and attempting to connect to a Samba share on my Asus router.

Using a UNC path in PMS, it works when guess access to the share is enabled (no password required)

However, when I disable guest access and configure a user account with the same credentials used for the windows service, it does not work.

Any way to make this work without miking it public?

Thanks!

Using Version 1.9.4.4325 on Ubuntu with an HDHomeRun Connect.
See screen shot

it also looks like the same reason the recording was aborted for this show, see below screen shot

Please advise on further steps to diagnose problem.
Thanks
Brad Nolan.

After a recent update, app changed how it handles it's "quality" defaults. It not longer has "original" now it has a broken switch that says if "video smaller than 20Mbps it will play at original quality" I select this for both "home" and "internet" and it always defaults something ridiculous like 20Mbps or 200Mbps. None of my media is larger than 10Mbps. It's getting really annoying. Attached android and server log.

As a side note to android app devs, you guys need to be slapped for messing with settings while playing video... dislike how intrusive it is now and more taps to do the same damn thing

Salve ragazzi,
ho un problema, in pratica ieri ho caricato una serie tv sul mio plex server, solo che dopo aver analizzato la libreria ecc. mi fa vedere solo gli ultimi 17 episodi (Parte dal' episodio 10) di 26.
Mi sapete aiutare?

With the DS418play featuring the Celeron J3355 with QVS (Quick Sync Video), should it not be capable of default hardware transcoding up to a certain resolution? I don't seem to get the results I was expecting.

OK, so since the Direct Play setting has been removed (somehow) from the Settings section in Plex on the Shield, I can no longer play my homevideo content in 4k (made in iMovie).

Plex now tries to transcode the content, but the transcoder seems to crash or samething cause after pressing play the spinner will load forever and eventually say the content can't be played. Also trying to let Plex 'Create optimized version' won't work: the conversion will get stuck at 1%.

I used to work around this by enabling the Direct Play option in Settings, but that is GONE (sigh...).

I have read somewhere that creating a custom profile xml file for the Shield would help, and enabling/forcing the directplay option in there, but if I am correct running PMS on a Shield won't let us anywhere near those files when the Shield is not rooted.

In short... I am stuck with many, many homevideos in 4k, which ONLY playback fine in a webbrowser with Plex, but they won't play on iOS, chromecast or the Shield player itself. Any fix?

I am officially forking the HTTP Anidb Metadata Agent (HAMA) made by Atomicstraberry and posted here: http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/66918-release-http-anidb-metadata-agent-hama/After having concerted with him by mail, i will take over but give due feedback, as he created it, and i would and could not have done it without his code first, as i didn't know Python before. Great language by hte way!!!
As discussed with him:

• His name will always be part of the header as he created it and was kind enough to let me take over
• I put the source on GIT: https://github.com/ZeroQI/Hama . i am new to git, so please be understanding...
• I create a new thread to be able to control the new releases on this first post [this one]

The readme is located here:https://github.com/ZeroQI/Hama/blob/master/README.mdIt will indicate the changes since v0.4Major changes:

• Title search 100% local using AniDB title database XML file.
• TVDB and AniDB XML serie page download cached a week by default
• TVDB Poster by default, downloading AniDB unique poster only if no TVDB poster present
• ScudLee XML mapping file to convert AniDB id to TVDB id without TVDB search needed (removed from )
• Studio when missing in AniDB
• Collection for Movie sets from XML mapping file (and matching with AniDB related anime fields)
• Using episode summary from TVDB when present
• HTML links to the TVDB and AniDB in Serie and episode page (off by default)
• Warning messages for community improvement (missing anidb poster, missing TVDB en poster, missing episode summary, studio variable in AniDB AND mappingfile, theTVDB id missing from mapping file)
• Themes songs 30s, from plex server using tvdb id [http://wiki.plexapp.com/index.php/TV_Themes]

This should prevent AniDB banning, since no search is done, no poster is downloaded, just the serie XML by ID.I will modify this post with any new releases, i am polishing out the bugs for now:

• Testing speed and accuracy. need information on performance
• Tweaking HTML links when TVDB id not in list, alerts when episode summary empty, etc...
• Test serie/movie within both serie and movie folder settings

You can browse the source code and replace it in place of v0.4 as a beta, but the XML files need to be in Resources folder at the same level as code one

 See github readme, that's the most recent one

How it works

==========

Scanners show the files or not in plex. if it's not showing, it's the scanner fault

Agent when files are showing update the metadata. This agent:

   . match the title to the AniDB Database locally (no online query to AnidDB to prevent getting banned for a day). It use synonyms, and search titles in all languages. you can select the language order in plugin settings

   . use xml matching table to fing the TVDB serie ID.

   . use posters from ANiDB (off by default, because they are crap but the only source for Hentai posters) or by default TVDB (use high res constant resolution posters, but do not store Hentai, have fanart and seasons posters as well)

   . The XML mapping file comes from the XBMC AniDB mod plugin and all xmls are cached 2 weeks and downloaded automatically

   . Use TheTVDB for Anime Episode summaries (AniDB seem to not use summaries for episodes)

   . Use theme songs from Plex server (backlog of 2 years, no need to update themes for now) indexed on thetvdb id. I store them locally using the anidb id if you want to create your own packages (and share?) and therefore you can have the right season music theme song...

   . logs like missing episodes are generated, also contain links to update episode summaries and missing posters... Give back digitally to the community...

Hello,

yesterday the Plex UI on the Fire stick looked like this:
https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/img_585848a0b0fc6.jpg (picture is from the internet, not mine)

Today, it looks like this:

My question is: How do I get rid of this travesty of an interface and go back to the better one that was before?

A while back, I had problems with a hard drive on my Centos 6.8 Plex Media server.
At that time, several movies on that hard drive started playing incorrectly. One movie lost its sound.
Another started playing with terrible quality.
I have since replaced the hard drive, but those issues still remain. I have tried deleting the offending movies and replacing them with new copies that work fine on my windows PC, but the problems remain.
I have also tried deleting the libraries to which they belong and recreating the library. The problems persist.
What can I do to fix this problem?
