Token Wizard no longer working in latest PLEX? #4

Open hepcat72 opened 3 years ago

hepcat72 commented 3 years ago

I just installed PLEX for the first time and am trying to set up access to my EyeTV Hybrid.

First, I'm not sure if this is a problem, but I have PLEX set up only for local access (no remote access), so maybe that's my problem? But...

I cannot find the "Channels" referred to in this portion of the config instructions:

1b) Configure your Plex EyeContact Plugin

open the Plugin inside the 'Video Channels' section of your PLEX client (eg. go to http://plex.tv/web, 'Channels', 'Eye Contact', 'Preferences' > Settings (gear icon))

The EyeContact plugin appears in Settings / Manage / Plugins in my locally accessed PLEX server (127.0.0.1...) and there's a spot for a token, but since I can't find the above, I have no token to enter.

Plus, even though I clear out the pin, when I go back, there's a pin there again - so could that be an issue?

Or... Is a PLEX pass required in order to have the "channels" thing mentioned?

Honestly I'm surprised this is still compatible with PLEX at all I last touched it 8 years ago ^^,

hepcat72 commented 3 years ago

Yeah, I figured it was a long shot, but I haven't found anything else to do it... (so far - just started looking into a solution this morning).

I haven't used PLEX in a long timelbut if you install a plugin like youtube, where does it show up? I can imagine they simply moved or renamed "Channels" to something else.

HealsCodes commented 3 years ago

There being no alternative was my reason to write this plugin back then ;)

hepcat72 commented 3 years ago

OK. Reading between the lines, I think that I'm in the right place:

Settings -> <Server Name> -> Manage -> Plugins

There, you can enter the settings mentioned in 1b) Configure your Plex EyeContact Plugin, but after entering the settings and saving them, there is no apparent "token wizard" that I can find (as described) here:

If you did it correctly, a new menu entry named 'Token Wizard' should appear above 'Settings' (or in newer versions of Plex, you will see a menu item in Plex called 'Preferences').

My instinct is that it should appear under:

Settings -> <Server Name> -> Settings

I tried going here:

Settings -> <Server Name> -> Settings -> Plugins

and checking Disable capability checking because the description seemed promising:

Capability checking ensures that plug-ins that are incompatible with this version of the server or the current client application you are using are hidden. Disabling capability checking is useful during development, but will enable access to plug-ins that may perform unreliably with certain client applications.

but no dice...

I tried running the token gathering code on the command line, but after a minute or so waiting, it returns "No token":

python ~/Library/Application\ Support/Plex\ Media\ Server/Plug-ins/EyeContact.bundle/Contents/Libraries/Shared/tokenproxy/__init__.py
No Token
