Again, I have no idea about Synology OS.
Technically it is a bad design to use the application's storage space as a data cache, as doing so you can't prevent the app to modify/kill itself. This probably is, why it's not working currently.
Are you able to set read/write permission to that folder? You can try... but might also have to enable read/write access to the folders above.
ok, I will check the permissions and let you know.
upd.
I set read/write/execute permission recursively to the folder usr/ for all users:groups:
chmod -R 777 usr/
Nothing changed :( - the same log.
Any ideas more?
any video showing PlexConnect Fanart view/lists and OSD views? i was looking for it on youtube without luck. i´m thinking to buy a AppleTV and use it.
Thanks in advanced.
Since you use OS X, OpenPlex has views just not videos.....yet.
Dear experts,
I had posted several days ago my issue here:
https://forums.plex.tv/topic/123222-official-plexconnect-fanart-views/?p=789749
But no one had answered :(
Could you please check my post?
Are you running PlexConnect as a launchdaemon? If yes set your python path in the PlexConnect.bash file for example I added this to force python 2.7.9:
# Start PlexConnect
Dear Wahlman.j
I am not familiar with linux.
Have a look to screenshot attached. 
am I right to wrote like this?
my python path is /usr/bin/python
still not working fanarts...
Also do you know if all dependencies are met for PIL/Pillow?
I don't know. How to check?
Look at the first post, there should be instructions on how to install fanart on syno. Otherwise look thru the topic to see if you can figure out a fix. Im not sure how to check or if there is a way to check. The Bash looks right but your issue may not need that included in there if its a fanart issue. Looks like brywants installer does it for you. I would ask him or post in his topic about your issue.
@Balmix: try with latest Python 2.7.x from SynoCommunity. Uninstall PlexConnect and install again with installer 0.3-10. Make git clone afterwards to upgrade to 0.5-dev. There is no bash in Syno unless you install it separately.
Merry Christmas.
Thanks, moody_blue !!!! Your solution works!!!! Finaly i catch a fanart.
Only one thing not work - Change fanart option - Trailers unavailable.....
Merry Christmas!
Baa / Roidy, now it's with you.
>>Baa / Roidy, now it's with you.
What's with us? The christmas wishes?
I actually thought about it two days ago... but then didn't want to offtopic. :-D
Hi, Just to let you know that I created a Docker for PlexConnect that include support for Fanart (PIL support). It was designed for Unraid 6.x. I don't know if you still update first post for that Fanart thread, but you might add a link to my Docker :
So I updated my jb aTV2 to the latest commit just now. Everything worked from what I could tell. I noticed coverflow works without fanart enabled since PIL isn't installed and my iOS is below the required 6+ for that to work. That being said why couldn't coverflow be added to the Tv show view and movie view so we could have huge posters if desired? I wouldn't want it to work like coverflow does obviously how it scrolls thru the seasons but instead just like grid works but with huge posters since I can see huge posters in season view with coverflow enabled. If I get time I will make a new github fork and try to code in this view and do a pull request ASAP if you guys would desire this as it would make the posters MUCH easier to view if you don't beat me to it ;)
edit - Made a pull Request
i was also on this track earlier, but i realized after i had added it in it was annoying when u have 120+ tv shows.. took me forever getting down the bottom.. so i left the idea in the closet.. i like it more with small posters, however i added it to my season view, there it looks better and not many shows have more than 10-15 seasons
Hi,
I am having trouble getting fanart to show.
On startup:
20:48:35 PlexConnect: Version: 0.5-dev
Suggest you attach a full log. Also have you turned fanart on in settings?
Yes the setting is set to show.
Everything else works, just not fan art.
Note: The web server exceptions at the start of the log due to the fact that I was in the trailers app when I exited Plexconnect and deleted the old log then restarted Plexconnect.
I see you are running PlexConnect on a Linux (actually bsd) system. There is a problem with a couple of xml files that are named with a slightly different case compared to what is expected in the xml selector logic. It's only a problem under Linux because the filesystem is case sensitive. You can fix it by renaming two files in assets/templates/Artwork/
ChangeFanArt.xml -> ChangeFanart.xml
ChangeFanArtVideo.xml -> ChangeFanartVideo.xml
You don't need to restart anything, just rename the files and "Change Fanart" will work.

Hello,
I have installt FanArt on OpenSuse13.2 without errors.
But wen I now start the Plexconnect I have this Info:
/usr/local/lib/PlexConnect/PlexConnect_daemon.bash start
Starting PlexConnect...
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PIL/Image.py:79: RuntimeWarning: The _imaging extension was built for another version of Pillow or PIL
warnings.warn(str(v), RuntimeWarning)
On the Apple TV3 in the Settings from Plexconnect I can see (PIL/PILLOW) nor installt.
What do I wrong? I do it like the first post.
Volker
Thanks for the informative reply Mike.
Unfortunately changing the filenames has not got Fanart working so something else must be wrong as well.
Any further Ideas? I can't find any error messages, so I'm in the dark.
grepping the log for fanart shows lines like:
3:50:36 PlexAPI:
I did not install PIL specifically for Plexconnect, it was already installed as a dependancy for something else.
I can import PIL from an interactive python prompt, does that mean everything is installed ok for Plexconnect to use?
EDIT: I found the problem I had Fanart set to hide for TV shows as I have none, changed that to show and now the movies have Fanart.
Thanks again Mike.
NOTE TO DEVS: It appears that settings->TV Show Option->TV Show Fanart is controlling Fanart display for Movies. The setting for Movies can be Show or Hide and I see Movie Fanart only if Plexconnect is set to show TV Show Fanart. I have no TV shows in my library.

Seriously?
