Channel Not Responding

[mjz1080]

I've seen this issue posted, and closed, with no clear resolution. I'm not able to actually play any added games. I continue to get 'Channel Not Responding'. I'm using Plex media server Version 0.9.11.7.803-87d0708.

Everything looks fine here. You are running Plex Home Theater or Plex Media Center on the same Mac as Plex Media Server?

[mjz1080]

Media center, but to be clear I see the same behavior on all devices connecting to the media server.

So let me just clarify: you're running plex media center on the same Mac as plex media server? That is the only configuration that the game launcher will work on, and it will only work from plex media center on that Mac, even if you see the launcher and the game list on other devices. The games will not work on any smart tv's, rokus, xboxes, other Macs, etc.

Now, on the Mac that you're running plex media center and plex media server on, what happens when you try launching a game? It minimizes plex and opens a new window? Then what, that window stays blank?

[mjz1080]

It's all on the same machine.

To clarify my original statement a bit, I first attempted on the plex web interface. I can scan for new roms, see the games within the directory, but when running the game I get "channel not responding".

Also, I've attempted using the plex home theater (same machine with plex turned on). When attempting to run a game, I see the same game selection and when I go to play one of them, it flashes quickly and returns to the rom list.

Have you tried any games besides NES games? Also which version of OS X are you using, so I can try to reproduce?

Can you confirm that there are emulators files at: /Users/Home/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/GameLauncher Emulators/Emulators/

[mjz1080]

I’ve tried SNES as well, with the same result. I’m using Yosemite (10.10.2). The emulators are located here (with each system’s associate sub-folder). This was created with the install:

/Users/Home/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/GameLauncher Emulators/

Okay so the games are working now. What I did was delete the database, cache, and preference files. I then restarted plex, re-scanned for roms, and it started working.

Next question. I have PS3Bluetooth selected as my controller option. I have my ps3 control paired with my Mac. When the prompt initially informs me of known issues with MESS & to move the joystick left & right it responds; however when the game starts, the controller doesn’t respond.

Thoughts?

Interesting, would you mind posting a newer log file so I can look through the differences in what was happening when it wasn't working and now again when it is? I'd like to make a run at fixing up the installer script to avoid whatever issues you were having

As far as getting controllers working, I personally use gamepad companion ($8 on app store) and map my PS3 remotes to keyboard commands, then I have each of my emulators (honestly only SNES and Genesis right now) set up to respond to the keyboard commands that gamepad companion generates

[bohanigans]

Not sure how this works, but I too am having the same issue. I downloaded Game Launcher, and the file shows on my desktop, but I am unable to load the channel on the Plex Media server.

I know mjz1080 said they deleted the database. Did they have to delete the entire database in Plex?

Please let me know. Thank you!

Hi CamHenlin -

Can you confirm whether or not this will work using the web interface on a Mac? I do not run the Plex Home Theater app on my machine, rather I use chrome to access the web version. I ask because I'm getting the "This channel not responding" message through the web interface.

I believe I have the other list of requirements done correctly though:

• Mac OS X 10.9.5
• PMS Version 0.9.15.6
• Attempting to run the channel on the same Mac as where the PMS runs and the games are located.

Thanks in advance

[mcoulter7]

Is there anyway to block/hide this channel from showing up on network clients? I notice that if you try to launch a game on another device, it launches the game on the server. I'd like to prevent that from being triggered.
