Yes, I get back the same information you would see if you use this https://plex.tv/api/users. The only difference is that link will also show some filter information.
That's seriously weird.. what browser you using? I'm assuming it works when you set authentication off correct?

Im using Chrome. When I set Auth to false it still wants a username and just spins as it tries to find it.
When set to false it's suppose to accent any username, are you on the latest dev?
Edit: or can you quickly clone another copy down and quickly run it separately from main one and see what it does (without setting it to true)?

The build I was testing was downloaded yesterday. Im not sure to what you refer to when you say accent any username. Is this in the field box you type it in to that it does this or later?
When authentication is set to false, the user will still get prompted for a username when they visit the main page for the first time, but we don't check that username against your plex friends/managed users, so any username will suffice thereby there being no authentication

When I first attempted this and was reporting the issue on post #190, it was at default settings (which is Auth False) I assumed based on past posts that it would work just like you have just described. In my case, it gives no errors, the gear just spins as it is it's trying to sign in.
I updated to the new version and it’s working perfect. My friends entered their user id and then started requesting their movies…
Excellent.
At the risk of getting “flamed”:
Would someone please comment how to install this awesome feature with step by step instructions for the total n00b?
I’m running on OSX 10.10 if that makes a difference.
Thank you so much !

For OS X it's super simple to run in Meteor's development mode which would get you up and running quickly.
Go to www.meteor.com and install the latest version of Meteor
Go to the projects GitHub page and get the master version or dev (dev is same but has user authentication, haven't merged into master yet) in zip format (right side of screen)
Unzip folder to a directory
Open up the terminal and use "cd" to navigate to this directory
Type "meteor" and after a few moments the application will be running at http://localhost:3000
Thank you very much! I’ll give it a shot tonight!
For those that I mentioned I was working on writing a doc for how to run Meteor in "production" on Windows, for now it's stalled. I can't get past some run errors with Node.js and the basic dependencies of Meteor's test todo application. It may not be possible, or at least not easy in any way shape or form (spent 5 hours and can build it but can't get it to run without errors).
To compensate this week I'll write something up on how to run it just using "meteor" and how to update without messing up your DB (it's not hard but would be nice to have it in writing). If there's interest I could write how to use Vagrant (think virtual machines) so you can run it in production that way if you really don't have access to a Linux box as a server, let me know!
Do you have any news about the possibility the find movies using other then English title?
I think i'll be able to fully use this very usefull plug when there will be this possibility.
I'm italian, most USA movie titles are translated in italian in Italy and i think also in other coutries and it is difficult to find a movie if you don't know the original title :(
Hi
Very nice work. I have a request. hoping it would be easy enough to implement.
Is there a a way you can pull the categories from CPURL/api/key/category.list and have them available for the person to pick where the movie should be placed. if they do not pick a category or if there is non then it will just hit the default category. This would help in my case as i have several different types of movies separated out such as kids movies, movies, etc. so if someone requests a kid movie it ends up in my main movie library and then i have to movie it manually
also is there a way to upgrade the version without losing the database of requests?
again great software. keep up the great work.

If you're running in development mode using the command "meteor", in the project directory your DB is saved in the folder
/plexrequests-meteor/.meteor/local
When you want to update to a new version, you can safely delete everything but that local folder, and then copy in the new version. The local folder isn't checked in to GitHub so it'll see your local folder and pickup your DB from there. Obviously, make a backup before doing this in case something goes wrong! A blog post regarding this will be coming soon to help with this.
EDIT: Regarding your requests, I'm not sure if I would. I see the benefit in your case and I'll look into it at least!

Sorry haven't had a chance to look.
Can you PM me a few titles in Italian and then with the English alternative so I have some test cases to try out?
Love this app! Now the only thing I need to find out is how to make it work with Apache (to use a subdomain instead of :3000) and how to autorun it on ubuntu instead of having to run meteor manually. Any idea? :)

I'm running mine on a subdomain behind nginx so it shouldn't be too hard to do with Apache. For auto run look at meteor up, or mup as they call it. Personally I used this guide for getting mine up and running. You could probably pretty easily replace nginx part with Apache (I'm assuming Apache can act as a proxy).
Basically, run the application using meteor or nodejs/mongodb on the webserver on local port, and then have Apache forward requests from whatever sub domain it's listening on to the local instance running the application
Looks like that doesnt 'just work' with apache im afraid :( sigh

That sucks, I've always been an nginx person, Apche just seemed way to big for home use! But yeah you'd need it to act as proxy , let me know how it goes if you figure it out!
Hey Loken the new changes to the app are great! nice work. I i'm now trying to implement the app into the plex webclient, if that makes any sense.
