Is that just the XBMC log you need? Also to clarify when you're reading the log, "Recorded TV" is what I excluded from the movie shelf, not "Concerts". I do have movies recently added to Plex. Will Plexbmc only pick up movies added AFTER Plexbmc is isntalled?
OK - I can see that you have a lot of recently added entries, but they are all either Music or the recorded TV - so everything is working correctly. If you look at the log, you will see the entries marked SKIPPING - Library Filter Match are showing what is being filtered out.
The failed script entry is because I forgot to encode the non-ASCII chars in a debug messages.
Ah, thanks Hippojay. Yeah, I just moved my Plex server so that would explain why it thinks all the Recorded TV entries were recently added. It looks like http://10.0.1.143:32400/library/recentlyAdded only contains so many entries for recently added items.
I just tried adding a couple of new movies to the Plex server and I now see them on the shelf. Thanks!
I can't help but notice that even the newest version says it's for 11.0 (Eden) but people are talking about using this with Raspbmc which is running version 12 (Frodo) - after trying both builds of Plexbmc it seems version Version 2.0 beta 6 can actually connect without recieving a "script error" at the top of the screen when connecting - however when trying to play something when running Version 2.0 beta 6 it just says "one or more items failed to play" - I have tried changing loads of the Plexbmc settings including the stream via http/smb/auto/afp and entering myplex details or not, changing the stream quality etc. but nothing works.
Does anyone - including your good self - have an image of an SD card (dmg, iso, vhd anything) for a Raspberry Pi Model B (512MB) with a working copy of a Plex client on? (don't care what distro etc.?
I don;t have a RPi (yet) so don't have nay extra info over and above what other people have posted. I've only just started looking at Frodo and any enhancements that could be made, but the current version [2.1] did work.
If you want to switch on debugging in the addon and PM over the xbmc.log (which should be in //.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log on Linux) then I'm happy to have a look.
Btw, Hippojay, have you tried this with the Plex Netflix plugin? Anytime I select a movie, nothing happens. Honestly, that plugin is super finicky, and I have issues with it on various devices (it completely crashes the Windows version of PMC). Might be out of your control. Also, most trailers in the Apple Movie Trailers plugin don’t work. I just get a blank screen upon selecting the movie. Not a huge deal considering there’s a Apple trailer add-on for XBMC already.
Netflixs might be difficult as I’m Uk based and I understand that we cannot access the API (plus I don’t have an account, although they keep emailing me about one)
AMT should be work, it was one of the ones I focused on when testing (as it requires a specific setup to make it work). I’ll check later on.
I've been using openelec on my raspberry pi and I got PlexBMC working on it with 2.0b6. For the most part I just followed [this guide](http://squirrelhosting.co.uk/hosting-blog/hosting-blog-info.php?id=9) to get the image installed. Then from another PC on the network, you can access the rpi and drop the PlexBMC zips on there, and then install the add-on from zip on the rpi. I didn't mess with much other then enabling transcoding and setting it to 3.0 mbps (720p). In order to expand the storage on the SD card to use the full size, you'll need to run gparted on a linux PC, or use the live cd/usb on a windows machine. Openelec isn't nearly as flexible distro as others, but it works really well as a standalone media center on the rpi.
Thanks, my next move was to maybe try Openelec as there is a bit more of an option to tweak and install different versions of things, plus it seems you can see what is going on a bit more than in Raspbmc.
Will give this a try and report back. If I get a "good image" with everything working I will host an SD image to just dd to a fresh SD for others.
I am happy to source/fund one for you? Not to get my needs pushed ahead but as a community offering I am always happy to help out. Although your reasoning may be time based which I really appreciate as my home entertainment is a hobby for myself and is no way prioritised.
Another member has suggested the Openelec build and a link to some instructions and I also got a new SD card today (that is on the compatibility list just in case) so I may try that with Raspbmc and as I mentioned to them I will most likely get an image out to the world if I manage to get this up and running nicely, hopefully this will help others in a similar situation to get up and running.
This is to do with the Plex Channel. I've checked and on quite a few entries, there are is no data. The problem is that I don't implementany of the messages, so al you get is a blank menu, rather than a messages telling you why you have a blank menu. I'm just adding some code to do this now (in fact I should probably over haul the code that grabs the XML to do addon wide checking).
I know this has been asked before in this thread, but I couldn’t find a response. Is there a way to get Plex’s sort order to show for the sections (e.g. James Bond 001, 002, 003, etc. instead of scattered by their names)? I’m using Quartz right now and just updated to PlexBMC 2.1.1 and XBMC Frodo Beta 3.
thanks for all the wonderful work! Just a Little question: After installing 2.1.1 an Frodo B2 the resume Function for playback seems to be damaged. All Films are starting from beginning instead of Last Position? Do you have an Idea?
Frodo was supposed to have sorttitle abilities (which was added 6 months ago) - however it seems to have been missed when they rejigged the code base. Not sure why, but as of now, that function doesn;t exist (which is annoying as I'd already added it into the Addon!). It might get fixed before Frodo is released, but as we are into Beta 3 i'm not too sure.
Hmm, I'm not sureplex sorts it like this either. Usually I display the order given by Plex media server (with the expcetion of All movies and all Tv shows which are sorted by titles). I think there are some timestamps on the entries, so I might be able to re-order before displaying, but it may be a little tricky.
I've just tried a few and they are restarting correctly on mine. Is the code you are using from a link I gave earlier on, or have you taken it directly from source (I ask because I'm just finishing off re-doing thw resume function for frodo as an XBMC change has been made which allows me to restart the media quicker, withotu double dialog boxes and also without having to play/pause/seek/play which sometimes introduces a brief audio noise as the media is forced to a new location.)
