Channels load, Library does not

I was very excited when I read about PlexConnect. Thanks for this.

 

Channels is working fine. Search appears to be missing the 'search' button.

 

Library just says 'Trailers is unavailable. Try again later.'

You are running an older version that Elan forked to test out some UI ideas.

It has a bug in it, if you hit select rather than play there is a bug in the pre play screen that can cause this.

Either:

  • Download the latest version from the main branch (link in the install guide - although channels probably will be broken until it gets fixed - likely tomorrow)
  • Use the workaround of hitting the play button to start a movie/episode

I reinstalled PMS and now I can see my library, but the videos do not play. Just says, 'Trailers is unavailable. Try again later.'

The press play workaround gives the same error.
