Issue with collections #1049

Closed A-Zoomer closed 2 years ago

A-Zoomer commented 2 years ago

Test environment

PMS Version: -> 1.24.5.5173-8dcc73a59 PMP Version: -> 2.58.0.dev-ae73e074 build date: 2021-10-25 Platform: -> Linux pop-os 5.13.0-7614-generic

Steps to reproduce

  1. Select a media
  2. Add to playlist button (in "item selected" topbar)
  3. see the dropdown menu

Current behavior

TL;DR: Not showing collections, and cannot create any of them

  1. The menu entry "add to collection" when selecting a media is completely absent in the PMP desktop version. BUT the correct entry is present in the web client.

  2. Even in the "Add To Collections" menu of the WEB client, upon submitting the new name of the collection it brings "Something went wrong. Make sure the server is available and try again."

  3. The strange thing is that i cant find any log entry defining the error int the PMS logs files even in debug level nor in the PMP logs file (yes, even on info level).

  4. Only for the sake of clarity; the playlists menu is working fine.

Expected behavior

  1. A list of existent collections, and the ability of create new ones.

This menu item is a new feature. PMP will not be getting any new features. It will merely be preserved at its current state, so it can be used to play.

A-Zoomer commented 2 years ago

With that "play" it means i can eventually contribute to add that new feature in PMP one day @OttoKerner ?

Sorry in advance if this question sound stupid but i'm pretty new to contributions in opensource projects.

OttoKerner commented 2 years ago

It was meant as "continue to be able to play media from a Plex Media Server."

A-Zoomer commented 2 years ago

Ty for the clarification. Closing issue now.

It should be noted that while the playback engine and the application are open source, the UI is not and what you are talking about is definitively in the area of the UI.

As @OttoKerner said, PMP will not be getting new features but there is a forthcoming Plex for Linux which will serve as its replacement on the horizon.
