Can you clarify how to obtain the API key and what the host name is expected to be when you are not local.

elads commented 7 years ago

@edasque I too am looking for clarification on the host name parameter. My widget simply displays the error "JSON Parse error: Unexpected EOF"

However I may be able to help with the API Key.

once you have PlexPy installed, head to PlexPy's browser interface and go to Settings > Access Control. At the bottom of this page you can Enable API and generate a key. Press the save button and then allow PlexPy to restart.

now, I haven't yet gotten this widget working and I have a feeling it has something to do with the host name parameter, but maybe this will help you take the next step. Good luck!

UPDATE: i got mine working with "PlexPyHost: 'localhost:8181'", "protocol: 'http'" and the API key steps above. I realize that my host info may not be useful to you as you are trying to go remote. but at least I can verify the API Key process.

I got it 'working', as in I don't get an error message anymore. But nothing shows up.

@edasque might be a simple thing, but nothing shows up for me unless something is actually playing or transcoding in plex. I used my iOS Plex app to watch a TV episode and it showed up in the widget appropriately.

@elads There is a bug in the code. @InnerSpark has a fix in a Pull Request here: https://github.com/yoyostile/Plexpy-Ubersicht-Widget/pull/2

TL;DR

In the coffee file, change the plexpyHost variable in the command line. It should be PlexPyHost. Note the capitalization is different.

Where were you 2 hours ago when this was driving me nuts?

I actually found the same error and submitted it separately before coming back to this thread.

Sorry, I had my notifications disabled for this repo :( I'll have a look at the PR now.

So everything should be fine again. :) Excuse my late response!
