Hello!
I hope you can help me out. I’m about to start writing a simple plug-in, and I thought the perfect way to get started would be to create a skeleton project on the Kickstart page (http://dev.plexapp.com/tools/plugin_kickstart/) and continue from there.
What I choose on the page is this:
Plug-in Template: General Plug-in
Plug-in Title: Hello World
(I leave “Compact code” unchecked, and “Type(s) of content” to only “video”)
Include Examples Of…: I leave “Search interface” unchecked, but check “Preferences”
Then I click “Generate Plugin” and download a .tar.gz file, which I decompress into a nice .bundle directory. I make sure that both Plex Media Server and the client are shut down, and then I move the HelloWorld.bundle directory into the Contents/Resources/Plug-ins directory of the Plex application.
I then start Plex Media Server and the client, but nowhere can I find the Hello World plug-in.
I use Plex Media Server 0.9.6.9.240-8fd9c6a and client version 0.9.5.4-973998f (just downloaded the newest ones yesterday) on a Mac. I’ve tried to check “Disable Capability Checking” in the preferences of the Plex Media Server, since it seems this is the normal cause for plug-ins not appearing, but with no result.
In the client, I try going to “Channel Directory” -> “More…” -> “Installed Plug-ins”. I also try “Video Channels”. No “Hello World” plug-in anywhere.
There’s probably something I’m completely missing. I’ve tried messing around with the files generated by the Kickstart page to no avail, but as far as I can judge, the raw output from the Kickstart page ought to be a fully functional (although not very useful, of course) plug-in.
Thank you very much in advance for any help!!
Kind regards,
Ole
I agree. The kickstarter should provide a minimum level of function. It is, unfortunately, in need of updating. I’ll try to find someone familiar enough with the underlying code to update the kickstarter for the latest framework.
