Failed to access Plex Media Server. Please check your settings. #181

I updated my Plex to 1.1 last night and immediately after get the Failed to Access. I tried clearning creds then saving, then reentering them and saving but that didn't help.

It's quite possible 1.1 removed something it depended on for authentication. I would highly recommend you look into migrating to PlexPy though as it is far better suited to the task of monitoring a Plex server, and is far more capable than this project ever was.

If you figure out what broke authentication and put up a PR I can merge it for anyone still using this though.

Thanks for the response AND for the alternative choice. I'll check out PlexPy.

Sweet fancy moses PlexPy is faster and has far more features with a much easier setup. Anyone looking at this should probably just shift there given the support and upkeep.

When building something like this you really need something continuously running to maintain state and not have to re-do a ton of work on every load of a page. PHP doesn't really offer the opportunity for that like Python (or anything else...) does.
