Configurable timeout before "no response" error ?

I am not who opened this issue in Github -> https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/issues/79

 

I have a similar problem, but changing Settings.cfg to the following did not solve it.

 

port_pms = 32400
ip_pms = 192.168.2.100 [This should match the manually set DNS IP on the ATV if PlexConnect is on the same machine as the PMS]
enable_plexgdm = False

 

I have discovered that the timeout problem has a very reduced impact if I edit XMLConverter.py and increase the timeout parameter in GetURL from 10 to 60. Can this be a permanent change for future PlexConnect builds ?

You need a full minute to get response from your server? What's wrong with your network? Or the server?

My server is very slow (Synology DS411slim) and runs PMS + PlexConnect. When PlexConnect requests pages to PMS that are used rarely (such as "channels"), very often (10% of the time) PMS is unable to answer in 10 seconds. Normally (90% of the situations) PMS answers within the 10 sec interval.

Setting the timeout to 1 minute allows it to be interrupted (using the ATV remote), which I believe is better than having to repeat the operation (which is what I was doing with the 10 sec timeout value).
