Got a basic channel I'm trying to hack from ABC Family plugin.   Getting this error: ``` Apr 28, 2013 17:41:30:786 [8680] ERROR - GetLineFromPipeWithTimeout giving up on a dead source (runner or plugin) Apr 28, 2013 17:41:30:786 [8680] ERROR - Timeout reading status line from plug-in pipe [com.plexapp.plugins.nextpvrplayer], we're killing it (got: ''). Apr 28, 2013 17:41:30:786 [8680] DEBUG - Stopping [com.plexapp.plugins.nextpvrplayer]. Apr 28, 2013 17:41:30:786 [8680] DEBUG - [com.plexapp.plugins.nextpvrplayer] Killing. Apr 28, 2013 17:41:30:786 [8680] ERROR - Error received reading configuration for com.plexapp.plugins.nextpvrplayer Apr 28, 2013 17:41:30:786 [8680] DEBUG - Stopping [com.plexapp.plugins.nextpvrplayer]. ``` But I can find any way of getting what the error is.   The plugin is pretty basic and I've hardcoded a section and a single video.     I dont expect anyone else will be able to run it as it's specific to my install at home (ie the urls) but once I get the basic going I'll be adding to it.   ---
