FYI - Found the problem. It appears that the oputput simply won’t work locally, and must be loaded from a web server. This is the specific error that pops up in chrome debug: > XMLHttpRequest cannot load file:///C:/plexport/plex-data/data.js. Cross origin requests are only supported for protocol schemes: http, data, chrome, chrome-extension, https, chrome-extension-resource. Uploaded the output to my web server and it works fine. ---

Is this still supported?

Obviously not. It is quite frustrating. Hence I have started to code my own solution in PHP based on the PLEX http API. It is in very alpha stage and far away from a public beta release. First screenshots here: ---

Well, it works quite well for movie and tv-show libraries but the code is a pretty mess at the moment. It is currently more like a proof of concept than a proper written piece of code. Hence I am still cleaning up the code and make the output completely template based. I also still need to include some sanity checks to prevent the script from being abused to manipulate the PLEX server with tampered http requests. I also want to make everything as flexible as possible to include also picture and music libraries in the final release. I hope to be able to release a beta version still this month. Some pre-release information for the first beta: _Name:_ PHP library presenter for PLEX _Description:_ Provides a PHP frontend to simply present PLEX libraries on the web without the possibility to play or download the library items. Currently only supports movie and tv-show libraries. _Features:_ - directly accesses a PLEX server via http API - slider view for the front page showing recently added library items (bxslider jquery plug-in) - 2 different views for the libraries: - - thumbnail view - - list view (dataTables jquery plug-in) - ajax pop-up for the detail view of a library item - configurable with json based config files, e.g.: - - exclude libraries from being shown - - amount of information to be shown for each view - template and css based and hence themeable - default template/theme based on bootstrap 3 - posters and thumbnails are served via the PHP script to prevent the PLEX token to be disclosed in the generated html code _Requirements_: - a webserver with PHP - a running PLEX server _To do for final release:_ - support picture and music libraries - admin section to change the configuration - support additional languages _Possible features for future releases:_ - download the library list in different file formats - tell me 🙂 ---

I know this might be an old thread, I have this working to generate an export, but when I drag and drop the index.html page it just says “loading data from Plex” forever and never actually loads anything. No errors running the script, but I’ve tried Chrome and Safari, and neither actually get past just saying “loading data from Plex” on that index.html page. Anyone got any advice as to why that doesn’t seem to actually pull in any content? ---

**PLEX WEB EXPORT v.1 TUTORIAL** Hi Folks, I want to create these tutorial for this dead project. I hope one day it can be alive again. First, I use PWE (Plex Web Export) version 1. I spent 3-4 hours for using v2 but I couldn’t achieve then I read this topic, v2 is not working with latest PLEX Server. For this reason you can use v1. You can see my PWE v1.0 demo site: [kaan.dogan.org/plex](http://kaan.dogan.org/plex "http://kaan.dogan.org/plex") My Setup: - Windows 10 with Anniversary Update - IIS v10 - PHP7 - Plex Media Server Version 1.1.4.2757 - NetDrive2 v2.6.12 (optional) - Plex Web Export v1.0 - Any web hosting Installation: First I’ll show you a trick. Instead of using your own host you can use any Free Hosting Services. You have to map your FTP as a drive on your PC (Plex Media Server). I use NetDrive2 for this job. Because it gives me more features but you don’t need to use NetDrive. You can map your free hosting service’s FTP. It is built-in Windows Feature. In my case: ![](https://sea1.discourse-cdn.com/plex/uploads/default/original/3X/4/1/4123ee6301cd00d10814702eca0a8d776e083154.png) In my case, I added my web server as **Drive V** : I opened notepad and I paste these text to it and save as PWE.bat > cd C:\Program Files\PHP\v7.0 > php V:\httpdocs\kaan\plex\cli.php -plex-url=“[http://localhost:32400](http://localhost:32400)” -data-dir=“plex-data” -sections=“Movies,TV Series,Documentaries,Documentary Series,Turkish Dubbed” I run this PWE.bat file as **Administrator**. That’s it. It pulls everything from my Plex Media Server and generate webpage on my website directly. In this line: php V:\YOUR\_PWE\_LOCATION\cli.php -plex-url=“[http://localhost:32400](http://localhost:32400)” -data-dir=“plex-data” -sections=“LIBRARY\_NAMES\_SEPARATED\_WITH\_COMMA” Do not waste your time for v2. v1 is OK. Enjoy. Visit my Plex Web Export micro site: [kaan.dogan.org/plex](http://kaan.dogan.org/plex "http://kaan.dogan.org/plex") ---
