PlexKodiConnect: Kodi Plex Integration Done Right

joeontap · March 17, 2019, 3:50pm

trying to install version 2.7.5 on a fresh leia18 ( I don’t want to try a different PKC in case i get the playlists issue again on my server ) am getting an error on PKC movies v2.10 ?

You need 2 dependency addons. Are you installing from repository? Reboot Kodi an try again. If it still does not work, manually install the 2 dependency addons for movies and tv shows from the PKC repo

Changelog

version 2.7.7:

Fix sync not working due to non-ASCII Plex library names
Fix PKC synching playstate to wrong user on profile switch. Be aware that Kodi profile switches are error-prone
Fix playback sometimes not being reported for direct paths
Fix float() argument must be a string or a number
Fix nodes for skin use
Fix ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘kodi_path’

Hiya.

Not sure if I’m the only one experiencing this, but since updating from 2.7.5 to 2.7.6/7 TV clearlogos are not showing during playback (movies are still displaying fine) and clearlogo are showing in tv library views…I seem to have it pinned to Plex Kodi connect.

I have a back up image I just installed and 2.7.5 works fine, and the problem occurs when updating. Can’t give a log on GitHub just yet as I’m waiting for my account to be unflagged for some reason… But thought I’d let you know incase it is maybe something glaringly obvious to you matey.

croneter · March 17, 2019, 8:26pm

Plex does not provide clear logos. PKC has nothing to do with what happens during actual kodi playback, apart from delivering the file to play. This issue has nothing to do with PKC, I’m afraid

starmanrf2908 · March 17, 2019, 8:48pm

Yeah that’s what’s confusing me, I use artwork beef to download those items and thought it was tied to an update pushed by rector, the other day, or the skin’s artwork helper… I copied my Kodi image on three different occasions, turning off autoupdates and updating one at a time to check the behaviour… It’s bizarre and wasn’t sure if could be tied to the TV show helper for PKC, so thought it best to see if that could affect the player or IDs that match the downloaded artwork during playback. I’ll do it again tomorrow and post a log on GitHub if I replicate it. Cheers

joeontap · March 17, 2019, 9:45pm

repo fixed it tx.

Deihmos · March 18, 2019, 1:23am

Updating to 2.7.6 causes on deck to disappear. I had to downgrade back to 2…7.4. This is on Kodi 18.

croneter · March 18, 2019, 4:42am

Simply re-link the on deck widget once updated, that should work

Deihmos · March 18, 2019, 4:43am

When I navigate through the plex video library on deck is empty for both movies and tv shows.

charlie2alpha · March 18, 2019, 5:31am

I’m also getting empty widgets, but also an error appearing saying “Plexkodiconnect: None”. It kept popping up enough to become annoying so I rolled back to 2.7.4 and everything works as it used to, error disappeared and widgets came back.

charlie2alpha · March 18, 2019, 2:19pm

Tried to replicate the widget issue and the error on the duplicate installation of Kodi I maintain on my PC but couldn’t. The new version works on the Windows version, requires reconfiguration of some widgets but that is all. But it just won’t work on my Nvidia Shield no matter what, and that is my main install. No time to collect logs now as I have to go, maybe later tonight.

Not time for detailed logs atm but found these at the regular log:

I agree widgets (linked to Plex) are not working as well on Android (FireTV) with the last 2 updates compared to my Windows laptop., however even on windows, some things are a incorrect. Rolled back to 2.7.4 to fix (see pics of each)

2.7.7

2.7.4

Deihmos · March 19, 2019, 6:30pm

What theme are you using?

jhr1948 · March 19, 2019, 6:42pm

skin? Aura

Deihmos · March 19, 2019, 6:48pm

That’s what I use. How did you get to rearrange the widgets?

I am using an Nvidia Shield so maybe that’s the issue.

jhr1948 · March 19, 2019, 8:02pm

You just need to redo the default ones to point to a different source.
