Hi.

I try show errors from my plugin to user. Code: return ObjectContainer(header=‘The title’, message=‘Your message’)
It work on android devices, but on Apple TV 4 i get message “Nothing to see here”. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Since it works on Android, it sounds like it is an issue with the AppleTV app, but it is always best to test it against an existing channel that uses the code to make sure.

All Plex channels from the Channel Directory have been coded to return an object container like that if a directory is empty. The title is always “Empty” and the message usually states something about there being no videos to show. The SyFy channel has a lot of empty shows, so it is a good one to test. And I just tried it. The message for the SyFy channel returns properly for me on the Roku. Sorry I do not have an AppleTV4 to test it for you.

Here is the the OC message code used in the SyFy channel - github.com/plexinc-plugins/Syfy.bundle/blob/master/Contents/Code/init.py#L69
