[Feature Request] add ability to add Plex server manually #36

Open gwetchen opened 10 years ago

gwetchen commented 10 years ago

Sometimes the server fetching just doesn't work, this would be a nice workaround.

mcmookerson commented 10 years ago

Agreed. I've been banging my head against it all night and cannot get past "failed to retrieve server information from https://plex.tv/pms/servers."

I know all of my server information, and if I could just find a way to plug it in manually, I'd be set. But since I know jack all about Python, and any attempts to insert that information into the .db files where my untrained eye thinks that it makes sense to put it, causes me to have to rebuild said database... I can't even start to experiment with this beautiful-looking project. :-/

fair enough. ill see if I can come up with something...

gugahoi commented 10 years ago

So I came up with a little way of doing this, you can find the update here: https://github.com/gugahoi/maraschino/tree/manual-plex-server

Let me know if it works for you guys or not. Note that I am unsure if this works with servers that have the "Require authentication for local machines" turned on but I am guessing it wont.

gwetchen commented 10 years ago

works perfectly fine for me thak you very much

mcmookerson commented 10 years ago

Works fine for me, as well. Thanks for making this happen! :)

It will now find my server using this branch but then nothing... if i go to the top right, i can see the server in the list but that's all.... nothing happens :(

danjenkins commented 10 years ago

Oh ignore my comment, got it working after a few refreshes :)
