When logging into a system like Ombi, or anything that uses Plex Auth services, it spawns the login window. You then proceed to login, and you end up authorized after a successful login attempt.
I have noticed that this login window telling you that it was successful does not close automatically. Is there no time out? Why do you have to manually close the window?
Also, why is there no hypertext on the “close this window” portion to close it for you?
Just curious if this is a bug/design flaw or an intentional design.
I do not believe that is true, the page that is spawned is under the https://auth.plex.tv domain space. That makes me believe that it is a plex web inquiry.
I don’t know what Ombi does, but that page is not meant to be called on it’s own. It’s used by Plex Web, which then redirects back to itself. If Ombi is calling it directly, then the redirect won’t work since it doesn’t know where to go. It’s not meant to close on it’s own so when Ombi calls that page, it won’t close, since it’s not meant to be opened that way.
I understand where you are coming from, but it works. So there has to be something that is referring to it, and then has a reference back to send the Plex OAuth information.
Regardless since it is a plex page it seems like a plex issue, regardless of where it is being called from.
This is not a Plex issue. It is an app implementation of Plex APIs issue.
Tautulli implemented Plex login and their redirection is working fine.
I have been investigating this issue on ombi today as one of my users mentioned it. I plan to open a bug with ombi on GitHub soon if one is not already open.
