New URL service and Plexit

Dev Community Dev/API Corner
1

Hello, I'm trying to develop a new URL service.  I've written the basics according to this article.  I've run the test URL lookup and I get this:

[root@plex ~]# curl http://localhost:32400/system/services/url/lookup?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.movietubenow.com%2Fwatch.php%3Fv%3D7383BeysLr0
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

So this test passes. Furthermore, the logs say this:

2014-10-05 16:11:11,097 (7f89bf63b700) :  DEBUG (runtime:717) - Handling request GET /system/services/url/lookup?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.movietubenow.com%2Fwatch.php%3Fv%3D7383BeysLr0

I think all looks good.  But when I try and add the same URL using my PlexIt bookmarklet, nothing is recognized.  Everything else works right- adding YouTube, Vimeo, etc.  I'm not sure why my new plugin isn't getting triggered.  Where can I go to see what's happening?

Seeing this on Javascript console.

# var s=document.createElement("script");s.type="text/javascript";s.src="//plex.tv/queue/bookmarklet_payload";var h=document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];h.appendChild(s);void(0);

There is a difference between the URL Service that's being used by your channel code (that one is local) and the (global) Services.bundle that is being used for the PlexIt! bookmarklet functionality. The latter is a hosted version.

http://localhost:32400/system/services/url/lookup?url= (= local)
vs
http://node.plexapp.com:32400/system/services/url/lookup?url= (= hosted one, used by the bookmarklet)

Yes definitely.  But does that mean it should work via channel?  :-P

The URL Service can be bundled with the channel, the channel can then make use of the service. But the bookmarklet can't work with URL Services bundled with channels.

Horrific >.<

PlexDevs, what about to push url untouched directly to PMS if domain is unknown for your servers?
