Is the channel development template broken?

Dev Community Dev/API Corner

I'm trying to write my own channel, but is the template broken?

I came across this: https://plexapp.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201199076-Development-templates, but it doesn't seem to work for me, even the default code. By that, I mean there's no channel that appear, even under the default name.

 

Any suggestions?

shopgirl built them not that long ago so I suspect they would still be functional.  One thing to be careful of with python is whitespace ... it's very fussy about that.  If the templates are using tabs for whitespace you must continue using them and if they are using spaces the same, you cannot mix and match.  Also there are a few logs that you can check out to see if things are firing up or where they may be potentially failing.  Also there's a dedicated forum here for channel development so you would probably be better to ask these sorts of questions there ...

Hope this helps.

I thought I had posted in the channel development... 

There is no logs, but I either I will post there or someone could move it there?

So no logs at all?  Did you check the PMS logs as well as the system log?  What OS are you doing your development on?

Thanks for your help.

Magic voodoo always happens you post on a forum:

I'm now getting a log, and its showing up in plex/web.

I did not change a thing though.

So thanks!
