anyway to extend it from within a plugin? I am attempting to expand the videoRip plugin to allow me to scan the titles on a dvd and label them from within Plex before i start ripping in order to rip all my TV DVDs. Unfortunately it can take more than a minute to scan a DVD so I am hitting this time out error: > [@](#): > > (28, Timeout was reached) (Operation too slow. Less than 1 bytes/sec transfered the last 300 seconds) I cant seem to find a way to have plex wait indefinitely for my function to return. If there is no way to increase the timeout; what options do i have to dispatch a thread to scan the dvd and callback someplace to load a new menu/list containing the dvd titles? ---

I have located the framework code where the timeout is set. in PMS.app/Contents/Plug-ins/Framework.bundle/Contents/Resources/Versions/X/Python there is a script named config.py. at the top is a variable called default\_network\_timeout the question is: can i change this from my plugin code? and if so will it actually have any effect or will it be too late by then? ---
