This is my first time writing a channel for Plex and I’m not sure why but Plex just refuses to install it. I don’t think there is anything wrong with the code but it’s been a while since I’ve written any Python so I could very well be wrong.

Also, just because I know someone is going to ask, I am restarting the Plex server by right-clicking Plex in the task bar and hitting Exit. From there I just relaunch the Plex Media Server application.

Switch PMS into debug mode, restart, and then look in the PMS log

Logs show nothing. Searched for “phantom”, “comic” and a multitude of other things and came up with no results.

Now I’m unable to uninstall channels. Something weird is going on here.

So you could not ininstall stuff before?  
That’s new, but regardless…

I’m fighting blindfolded here, and need logs in debug mode!

I guess I was looking in the wrong place. Sorry about that! Turns out I was missing a colon at the end of line 32 in the init file.
