Hi,
I installed the new version on a Mac OS X 10.9.4 and it is not working. I get "This Channel is not responding" answer when I try to lock the section. It still works with the scripts that I have in the applications folder.
Hi,

Will investigate, thank you for trying it out and sharing feedback. Pl. use the "Mac OS X" option to generate the plugin from here it will work for OS X 10.9.4. Thank you once again for trying it out, I felt there might have been something wrong but couldn't be sure, till now!
Excellent now it works like a charm !!!
Ok, testing under linux.

It doesn't seem to work correctly on my end, here's what happens:
- Over the web interface I see no unlock button, only lock - reading your previous comments this may be normal.
- Using plex theatre on Mac shows both lock/unlock, but they just won't lock. If I lock manually (i.e. executing the SQL from a script), it won't unlock either.
I threw debug logging up but I don't see a viable cause from that - running the script by hand works though.
I didn't have more time this morning to play with it unfortunately - ideas about where else should I look are welcome.
General thoughts:
The 777 permission won't be something linux folks like a lot (777 similarly to 666 is from the devil). The best way to approach the right permission set is:
1. Change owner on the lock.bundle directory to the user you use to run plex with, i.e chown -R plex:users Lock.bundle
2. Make sure the following files are executable: chmod 750 Contents/Code/__init__.py Contents/Resources/lock_support/*
3. Your scripts look quite static - at least the os.path.expanduser in lock.js doesn't resolve to what my server has as config. They expect library content to be under /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins/Lock.bundle/Contents/Resources/lock_support/ - this is not always the case.
Two ways around it:
a. Get the location from Plex - probably not the right way but when I hit /system/help the exception being thrown reveals my PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR. This sounds like an easy way to get that extra information with the JS
b. Get the user to feed that in manually (i.e. get config options in the scripts)
In my struggle I rewrote the scripts to a single one, pasting here in case you want to consider a single param'd script call with standalone SQL files:
#!/bin/bashpiLoc=
dirname "$(realpath $0)"
dbLoc=echo "$piLoc"|sed 's#/Plug-ins/.*#/Plug-in Support/Databases/com.plexapp.plugins.library.db#'
function err { echo “ERROR: $1”; exit 1; }if [[ $1 == “lock” && -f “$piLoc/sqlite3” && -f “$piLoc/lock.sql” && -f “$dbLoc” ]]; then
“$piLoc/sqlite3” “$dbLoc” < “$piLoc/lock.sql” || err “error locking section(s)”;
elif [[ $1 == “unlock” && -f “$piLoc/sqlite3” && -f “$piLoc/unlock.sql” && -f “$dbLoc” ]]; then
“$piLoc/sqlite3” “$dbLoc” < “$piLoc/unlock.sql” || err “error unlocking section(s)”;
else err “Check if you use lock/unlock param and files exist. I’ve got: “$piLoc/sqlite3”, “$piLoc/unlock.sql”, “$dbLoc””
fiexit 0;
This way you can ditch the BASEPATHLOCK and BASEPATHUNLOCK and use a BASEPATHLOCKSCRIPT or something instead with a lock or unlock parameter.
Thanks,

First off thank you for testing, is a great help.
Yep, the best way to go, especially for all os'es is to get the base path of plex plugin folder via .js while parsing the XML, don't think the path data is in there, need a innovative approach!
mbjr,
This code below should give you the path of the dir the bash script is in and then go to the database path.
DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"
This should help you get the plugin path in pyhton
BASEPATHLOCK = (Core.storage.join_path(Core.storage.join_path(Core.app_support_path, Core.config.bundles_dir_name+"/Lock.bundle/Contents/Resources/lock_support/lock.sh"))).replace(" ","\\ ")
BASEPATHUNLOCK = (Core.storage.join_path(Core.storage.join_path(Core.app_support_path, Core.config.bundles_dir_name+"/Lock.bundle/Contents/Resources/lock_support/unlock.sh"))).replace(" ","\\ ")
Wish I had the bandwidth to use some vmware to simulate, will try to add later, but in all honesty, just sticking to the standard installation paths that plex docs mentions here as of now many users don't fidgit with plex to make it their own and just use it out of the box, banking on that at the moment ;)
Pushed an update for linux testers, pl. try and revert!
Thanks iShow, I'll dig in weekendish and report back asap - crazy week this is.

Thank you, appreciate it! Pl. take your time, no hurry! Seems like you rthe only Linux user thus far ;)
The update you pushed is only working on Linux? Should be very similar for Mac, no? Happy to test !

Hey, thanks for the positive response, however, testing requires a linux OS.
Most likely it won't work :/ will get there for linux eventually!
Have used the logic on linux a very long time ago *sigh*
Hi iSh0w, I've just installed Plex today and have been shocked to discover there are no access controls!
I am running Plex 0.9.9.13.525 in a FreeNAS (BSD) jail and would like to test out your plug-in... I won't blame you if it screws anything up :)

Would definitely be interested, in fact was wanting to study the FreeBSD framework after noticing Plex officially dishes out a download for FreeBSD.
The only experience with an arm processor was that of a Seagate GoFlex NAS in the past, it had the PogoPlug OS ported on it and vaguely remembering playing around getting debian wheezy on it as well as ArchLinux arm. What was most memorable was when it almost bricked and a serial cable connect to the board was required to get it to work again. Point being, it is highly unlikely a plex channel plug-in would be able to do much damage but never can be too sure!
Yes, you are right the paths would be the way to start! In a days time or less will give users with FreeBSD OS access to try to generate and download the Ubuntu linux version of the plugin. It would be a start, unsure about it's application/usage with FreeBSD, even after changing the paths, the concern would be the packed sqlite3.
Currently downloading the Fedora ISO and planned to then move on to get a CentOS ISO to make it work with VMWare workstation for building/testing.
It is possible however to maybe work on FreeBSD in parallel, if it is possible to get the ISO and use it with VMWare?, haven't checked yet! That would help to get an understanding of the architecture of FreeBSD and figure out how to work L0ck into it!
Will drop a post/message as and when a update is pushed opening up the generic linux download for FreeBSD users to get a glimpse of L0ck and the ability to check what is under the hood.
Suggest it's usage be for purely educational purposes of understanding how L0ck works, which should take minimal amount of time if you read through the threads/posts in the forum ;)

Opened up the Ubuntu Linux release for FreeBSD and Synology users/devs to have a look!
Share your thoughts, keen of figuring a solution for FreeBSD users as well!

Alright!
I've finally got it running, and it works a treat!
I did away with the shell scripts and just did the database calls in the python file.
I've attached a diff of the python so you can see what I changed from the original.
I placed the bundle here: /usr/pbi/plexmediaserver-amd64/plexdata/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins/L0ck.bundle

Great stuff! Mikedm139, who helped develop the .py had similar code/thought(github.com/mikedm139/Lock.bundle) Glad you got it to work for you :)Alright!

Off topic:
The problem is generalizing such a solution coz not all systems have the required version of sqlite3 that is required to edit the database. So if you updated FeeBSD 9.2's sqlite3 or not, earlier versions of FreeBSD might not work by just importing sqlite3 in .py. Due to sqlite3 version mismatch with plex db.
Since your clearly a dev, what was also tried was accessing using plex's SQLite.so, it was all weirdness and there was no clarity on how to do that!
Long story short, ended up packing the sqlite3 for all OS's.
This really helps, currently tested/confirmed support for Fedora! very similar to Ubuntu install and will then move to CentOS. After that it's all FreeBSD! :D
Thank you for sharing your solution! Really helps!

Yeah, it was a bit of a ■■■■■ getting sqlite3 working until I just abandoned the batch scripts.
The included binary obviously didn't work since it was built for a different system.
There are technically 4 different versions in the default install (I didn't change anything):

Something else I forgot to mention...
In __init__.py you're calling: os.system('sh ' + filepath)
In the shell scripts you're specifying: #!/bin/bash
The default FreeNAS jails do not have bash, so you can't even run that script directly.
Also, calling sh will give you a very limited shell.
FreeNAS uses csh or tcsh.
Both of which have a different syntax for declaring variables.

Thanks, that was the Linux version you downloaded. Will keep in mind while working on the FreeNAS ver.

sjmik,
Tried to install FreeBSD 9.1 on both virtual box and vmware, got to the point where I was installing gnome2 and realized it was a 32bit iso. Long story short, cannot install the 64bit iso (Computer chip isn’t supported, although the computer is 64bit). Plex only dishes out a 64bit release for FreeBSD, so cannot work on FreeBSD :/
If anyone has any other suggestions to get FreeBSD 64bit running virtually, pl. advice, for now L0ck for FreeBSD is on hold :/
Hope your solution you’ve shared in the forum will help other FreeBSD users!
