New install of WebTools on Windows: Wrong install Dir?

[sharkbit]

Why are you using Core.app_support_path instead of Core.bundle_path? After changing a few references to this, WebTools Started working for me.

I.E. (.\WebTools.bundle\Contents\Code\consts.py) Line 59 versionFile = Core.storage.join_path(Core.bundle_path, 'VERSION') vice versionFile = Core.storage.join_path(Core.app_support_path, Core.config.bundles_dir_name, BUNDLEDIRNAME, 'VERSION')

I could post logs but they will just say "Cant find XYZ at: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Plex Media Server..."

Hmmm....Interesting

And never new about that ! Will adopt this for the next version, thanks

Also check https://github.com/ukdtom/WebTools.bundle/issues/337

Reviewed 337, not the same issue. What I see is that the wrong Var is being used. I.E. Looking for the Version in .\WebTools.bundle\Contents\Code\consts.py Line 59

Core.app_support_path, Core.config.bundles_dir_name, BUNDLEDIRNAME, 'VERSION' = 'C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\Plex Media Server\Plug-ins\WebTools.bundle\VERSION'

instead of the right path: Core.bundle_path, 'VERSION' = 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Plex\Plex Media Server\Resources\Plug-ins-313f93718\WebTools.bundle\VERSION'

To get the webpage to come up I had to modify consts.py & webSrv.py. I would post them but the branches have different changed... And I dont know which one you want?

[sharkbit]

With that pull request the website :33400 comes up!
But it in German? Using Branch 'oliver-next-work'

[ukdtom]

This path is wrong! Core.bundle_path, 'VERSION' = 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Plex\Plex Media Server\Resources\Plug-ins-313f93718\WebTools.bundle\VERSION'

Above plugin dir is for Plex only bundles, that comes with PMS! 3.Party lives in: 'C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\Plex Media Server\Plug-ins\WebTools.bundle\VERSION'

So guess my approach was correct after all ;)

[ukdtom]

And note, that dev for WT 2.x has stopped, and we are working on V3 here, where we among other stuff has translations....

When said, only PR's against the current DEV branch are accepted!

[sharkbit]

So on my box, any plugin I put in C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\Plex Media Server\Plug-ins Gets deleted when Plex starts

What System are you using toi test? I have Windows, Ubuntu, and FreeNass with Plex on them

[ukdtom]

That's because you also have it below the Resource dir, IMHO

Please check, as well as PMS system log

[ukdtom]

And if in the Resource dir, delete it from there, since only Plex bundles goes in there

[ukdtom]

And testing on OpenSuse, QNAP and Windows

[sharkbit]

since any plugin I put in C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\Plex Media Server\Plug-ins Gets deleted where is the Right Plugin Folder?

[ukdtom]

C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\Plex Media Server\Plug-ins is the correct folder!

What did your PMS system bundle log say, after a PMS restart?

[ukdtom]

https://github.com/ukdtom/WebTools.bundle/pull/342 works, so I'll need to make this part of V3

[sharkbit]

... Well after all that it's staying in the Plugin Folder, I'm going to go bang my head against a wall....

[sharkbit]

Ohh, so with my Changes It can Live in ether Dir! There are few more places to change to make everything work from the Program Files Location.

Enjoy.

[ukdtom]

Nope.... You MUST stay out of plug.ins.XXXXXXX dir below the Resource dir!

That dir get's wacked with every PMS update!

Also, WT has hardcoded stuff, as well as other 3.Party plugins has, that specifically looks for the correct dir!

And that dir is below the Library dir!
