I am trying to get a message to pop up for users if they enter their login credentials in incorrectly - I can get MessageContainer to display the message on on all clients except the Web app. Is this a bug in the web app or is MessageContainer a deprecated function and no longer used? If so is there another function to achieve the same result?  
  
  
  
Thanks!

Hi!  
MessageContainer is deprecated (just like MediaContainer, DirectoryItem, VideoItem, etc).  
  
MediaContainer is now ObjectContainer  
DirectoryItem is now DirectoryObject  
VideoItem is now VideoClipObject  
  
See http://dev.plexapp.com/docs/api/objectkit.html for more details.  
  
To display a message, you can use an ObjectContainer and set the 'header' and 'message' attributes:  

```auto

return ObjectContainer(header="...", message="...")

```

  
Plex/Web does not (yet?) support this though.
