Sometime in the last week or so I ended up putting some old recordings in my plex library that are making plex connect barf a bit when its generating the XML to be served back. In the console, when loading up the TV on deck/recentely viewed sections I see:
16:07:56 WebServer: serving .xml: /library/sections/5

x-Container-Size=40)}}
{{ADDXML(RecentlyViewedEpisodes::recentlyViewed?X-Plex-Container-Start=0&X-P
lex-Container-Size=40)}}
Traceback (most recent call last):

The result is that the On Deck and Recently Viewed book strips consist of a single gray unnamed invalid item. All the other sections are fine so the overall app is still usable, but it'd be nice if I knew how to fix it.
I'm not entirely sure which recordings caused this. I had a bunch of old shows I'd archived from my tivo for a years I'd dumped into Plex recentely, so I'm guessing it was one of those? They work fine when I try to play them, browse to them by show name, etc. Just these two sections are messed up.

With a browser on your PMS host, try browsing to...
127.0.0.1:32400/library/sections/5/newest?X-Plex-Container-Start=0&X-Plex-Container-Size=40
127.0.0.1:32400/library/sections/5/recentlyAdded?stack=1&X-Plex-Container-Start=0&X-Plex-Container-Size=40
127.0.0.1:32400/library/sections/5/recentlyViewed?X-Plex-Container-Start=0&X-Plex-Container-Size=40
One of those doesn't seem to return a good answer. Maybe this gives you a hint to the offending media?

Each of those seems to return legit xml :( At least the default XML parser in chrome parses it into the node tree correctly w/o any warnings.

Set loglevel to "High", restart PlexConnect, recreate the error and post a log... I will have a look.

I too am getting a similar error.
Only seems to happen in my TV Shows directory.
