Plexbmc does not "see" the Plex Media library

When Starting it only shows (empty) channels section
Hi,
I just started to play around with the Plexbmc on Pi ( OPenElec). At least the 2.0 Beta seems to work somehow but it does not show any content from the Plex Server

Server is up and running a plex client on Nexus7 works pretty well . . -
.

I could provide the xbmc.log

Hi again,

and some more details it looks like it struggles with IPv6 . . . if you see the bold stuff in the log below. It gets the IPv4 URL but then later tries to use parts of the IPV6 URL (???)

cheers

Sorry, I didn;t see this thread. someone else has reported IPv6 issues. When parsing the XML data, PleXBMC expected to see an IPv4 style address x.x.x.x not an ipv6 one x:x:x:x:x:x. As port numbers are removed from any address URLs (including ip ones), then it only look at everything before the first :. ok in ipv4, not ok in ipv6.



Also, there are no provisions from IPv6 URLS (i.e. http://[ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff]:32400/library )in the addon.



My advice right now would be to switch off IPv6 at the plex media server.
