Sign out plex.tv API endpoint changed? PlexConnect erroring on sign out attempt now

Server Version#: plex.tv
Player Version#: 0.7.4-210621

iBaa/PlexConnect/blob/83a8b16ff94eb910b4bdd4b947ed1e888c607a2d/PlexAPI.py#L728


      
                  authtoken = el_authtoken.text
                  dprint(__name__, 0, 'MyPlex Sign In successfull')
              
              return (username, authtoken)
          
          

          

          
def MyPlexSignOut(authtoken):
              # MyPlex web address
              MyPlexHost = 'plex.tv'
              MyPlexSignOutPath = '/users/sign_out.xml'
              MyPlexURL = 'http://' + MyPlexHost + MyPlexSignOutPath
              
              # create POST request
              xargs = { 'X-Plex-Token': authtoken }
              request = urllib2.Request(MyPlexURL, None, xargs)
              request.get_method = lambda: 'POST'  # turn into 'POST' - done automatically with data!=None. But we don't have data.
              
              response = urllib2.urlopen(request).read()
              
              dprint(__name__, 1, "====== MyPlex sign out XML ======")

Does
http://plex.tv/users/sign_out.xml
still exist?

This still exists:
http://plex.tv/users/sign_in.xml

But when trying to hit sign_out.xml it fails. Let me know please if there’s a URL change to that endpoint and I’ll go make a PR to fix it. Or can you point me to the plex.tv API spec? That way I can self-solve in the future.

Cheers

There doesn’t seem to be much in the official plex.tv API docs so I think this needs someone on the staff to help out.

Can someone answer the original question about the current state of the http://plex.tv/users/sign_out.xml endpoint please?

It does indeed exists, and use the GET method

When said, I would instead use the following:

Login
- /api/v2/users/signin endpoint with a POST
  - See: https://github.com/WebTools-NG/WebTools-NG/blob/master/src/store/modules/plextv.js#L93
Logout
- /api/v2/users/signout endpoint with a DELETE

Cheers @dane22 , I made the change and it fixed the broken logout function in PlexConnect. I’ve made a PR https://github.com/iBaa/PlexConnect/pull/615 which they will hopefully merge into the product.
