PM4K / PlexMod for Kodi (18, 19, 20, 21, 22+)

I’m using Coreelec nexus. installing via repo wouldn’t work for me as your repo hasn’t updated and won’t let me. i assume that’s down to github problems.

After a while I managed to find the script zip for 0.4.1 so I installed it. The addon now opens and plays video as I’d expect BUT music won’t play. The behaviour I see is exactly the same as it was on Matrix before the official version version 0.3.5 was released.

Hope this is clear and thank you for taking this on.

Thank you very much, it is working fine (with movies, I haven’t tested music yet).

Work perfect whit series! Thanks a lot man!!! :star_struck:

OK, noticed a couple of bugs with 0.4.1 (on nexus, obv.):

  • tv theme music isn’t playing
  • skip intro button looks wrong
  • external addon settings have a duplicate
  • music interface and playback are broken
  • addon info still shows Plex as the provider and says official addon
  • Plex autostart is broken again

I’ll try and address those as soon as I can.

Edit: repo is working properly now

Every time I open Plex For Kodi with this new version for Kodi 20 on Android am keep getting a notification from Plex saying that a new device has just signed in using my account.

This only is supposed to happen once.

BTW, this is not happening with P4K on LibreElec.

Ia anyone else seeing this behavior?

Hmm no, at least on my SHIELD it doesn’t do that.

@panni the savior! Thanks a lot. Works on my SHIELD. Noticed the skip intro weird behavior. Other than that, just great. Thanks again.

I did open again on both devices (NSTV, Xiaomi TV 4k Stick) and it didn’t notify me this time.

I was intrigued. Then I went to look at the email associated with my plex account and noticed a pattern.

These notifications are happening once a day (per device) for the last couple of days.

However, on the first day I started to use this modified addon I got a lot of notifications. This was the day I used the most.

I’ve spent a lot of time watching some stuff I really wanted to test out (encoded in AV1)

I will keep opening P4K on my Android TV devices at different times during the day and will report accordingly.

Please continue to collect logs. Maybe there’s other issues specifically on Android.

Hello,

Will this changes goes to the Kodi official addon repo?

Regards.

I will PR the core fixes once they’re stable.

You’re a saviour dude. Haven’t noticed many bugs bar the skip intro icon looking weird and the audio/subtitle icons on the movie/tv info screen looking weird also. Keep up the good work!

Been using the addon for the past 24 hours on my two SHIELD. Noticed that no auto-open plex addon. And I get weird sign-ins notifications on my phone that “new device has just signed in from linux.”
Other than that, streaming-wise, flawlessly.

Hi. Thanks for this addon. I just installed the 0.4.1 version after updating to Nexus.

I was wondering if there is any possibility of adding the OTA Live TV section from Plex in the future? I can watch my recordings in Plex for Kodi but I have to switch apps to watch Live TV from my tuner and access the Guide to set recordings. Just wanted to know if it’s possible in the future or a definite no. Thanks either way.

Thanks so much for maintaining this, @panni. Everything’s working well playback-wise on my Shield (through Kodi 20), but I have to sign into Plex (via plex.tv/link with a four-digit code) every time I run the add-on, which also means that all of the settings are reset to default every time.

Strange behavior the one you comment is happening on your side, hopefully this could help you to fix that, as it isn’t happening to me (using Kodi 20 here).

Check the addon options, there’s an option named something like “auto log in” (don’t remember exactly the name).

Guess it will allow the addon to sign in automatically to the Plex server, on every launch.

No, this will only auto log in the last used user if there’s more than one.

It looks like my install got corrupted somehow – the Kodi add-on settings (not the settings within the plug-in itself under the menu that starts with Switch User, but the Kodi screen that shows Main, Player, User Interface, Screensaver) were displaying a garbled screen with no text. I uninstalled and reinstalled the plug-in, and now the Kodi add-on settings are showing correctly again, and the plug-in no longer requires me to sign in every time. Let’s hope it stays that way this time.

@MagicSG1 Do the audio/subtitle icons look like little grey squares to you? Instead of saying “Language” and “Subtitles” there’s little grey squares instead? It’s the same for me. Hope it will be fixed soon.

@panni This is what I’m talking about. Please let me know if this is a Kodi issue or an addon issue. Thanks.
