Using Plex as a provider #74

Closed reefland closed 5 years ago

I have QTWebFlix running as my media app on a dedicated mini-pc connected to my TV. Currently using QTWebFlix with Sling TV, NetFlix (when it works) and Amazon Prime. Works well with just a mouse instead of a TV remote.

I got Plex working with a Let's Encrypt certificate which allowed QTWebFlix to make the connection (would refuse to use self-signed otherwise). Then I simply added the URL to my providers config file.

I can login to Plex through QTWebFlix and browse browse my TV Shows, Movies and Music libraries. Streaming music works perfectly on the TV. However playback of TV Shows and Movies doesn't work. Just get a spinner and nothing happens. (Using Plex App on TV's, FireTV, Android or Desktop browser works fine -- doesn't seem to be a server side issue).

Wondering if anyone has thoughts what might be missing. Codec or something?

Running QTWebFlix under Manjaro with KDE.

Was not an issue with QTWebFlix at all. Was a permission issue on the server side with the specific media data being tested. My Bad. QTWebFlix is streaming from my Plex as a provider perfectly.
