Hi guys,  
  
  
  
I have begun my first Plex channel plugin and unfortunately it requires me to write a site configuration since the content site uses Silverlight.  
  
  
  
Currently I’m unable to write a functioning site config, so my question is: What debugging/testing options do I have when writing a site configuration?   
  
It feels a bit like developing blind, I can see from the server log that Plex finds the Silverlight object, but that’s it. Do any of you have some nice tricks for debugging?

Hi Jakob,  
  
Welcome to the dev section! A great way to see what’s going on when Plex tries to play a Flash or Silverlight video is to make the Webkit window visible:  
  
  
  
OSX:  
  
[list][_]Quit Plex Media Server_  
  
_[_]From the Terminal, execute this command: defaults write com.plexapp.plexmediaserver WebKitWindowVisible TRUE  
  
[_]Start Plex Media Server_  
  
_[/list]_  
  
_Windows:_  
  
_[list]_  
  
_[_]Quit Plex Media Server  
  
[_]Open Regedit_  
  
_[_]Go to HKEY\_CURRENT\_USER\Software\Plex, Inc.\Plex Media Server  
  
[_]Add a new DWORD value:_  
  
_[list][_]Name: **WebKitWindowVisible**  
  
[_]Value: **1** _  
  
_[/list][_]Close Regedit  
  
Start Plex Media Server  
  
[/list]
