Problem with VideoClipObject and Plex HT

[_plakna]

Hi,

 

I'm new to the Channel Development and have a problem with the Plex HT.

 

I try to create a plugin which plays a .m3u8 stream. It works with Plex/Web and an old Version of the Client (pre HT). The strange thing is that Plex HT doesn't display the VideoClipObject. If I hit the Enter-Button I can choose the resolution and the video starts. 

 

Has anyone an idea what I'm doing wrong?

Edit: I know that the Resolutions are useless here. It's only a test.

It looks like you are using the older version of Plex channel coding. Newer channels do not use the method of giving the VideoClipObject, MediaObject and others a two letter extension with a period in front of the variables any more. You only do that to assign a variable to the ObjectContainer and to add that container. This may be why it doesn't work with PHT. Since it is newer, it may no longer support the older versions of the Plex API and coding.

Look at some of the channels used in the Channel Store. I am pretty sure all of those have been updated, so they all use the latest version of the Plex API. This template for the __init__.py may also be helpful - https://forums.plex.tv/topic/62610-channel-development-templates/?p=404012.

Also, here is an example of one I wrote that doesn't have a separate URL service for handling and playing videos that uses the later version of Plex API - https://github.com/shopgirl284/RSSFeed.bundle/blob/master/Contents/Code/__init__.py.
