Error playing media due to using section name instead of user library name #64
Pseudo Channel won't work for Movies and TV Shows unless this is set in pseudo_config.py and the same library names are in PLEX. I can't specify custom names:
...then the schedule will generate (although it won't display the HTML background if that video is not found), but the media play will result in an error, like this one:
Output showing library and media-play errors:

There was an error trying to play the media.

It appears that the code is calling the section name rather than the user library name, for example:
movie = self.PLEX.library.section(mediaType).get(mediaTitle)
Pseudo Channel won't work for Movies and TV Shows unless this is set in pseudo_config.py and the same library names are in PLEX. I can't specify custom names:
plexLibraries = { "TV Shows" : ["TV Shows"], "Movies" : ["Movies"], "Commercials" : ["Commercials"], }
When I do specify custom names, like this...
plexLibraries = { "TV Shows" : ["TV-Heroes"], "Movies" : ["Mov-Musicals"], "Commercials" : ["Commercials"], }
