hoi,

&nbsp;

i am getting a&nbsp;strange error after i use a function from an imported file that uses the plex global objects.&nbsp;

this doesn't always happen when i use plex global but is does happen after an couple imports.

&nbsp;

in this case it is the Unit object. see the error below but if i replace the Unit with an standard python module the next plex object causes the same error

&nbsp;

```

    result = f(**d)
  File "C:\Users\Koos\AppData\Local\Plex Media Server\Plug-ins\PlexSpotnet.bundle\Contents\Code\Spotnet\BaseSpotnet.py", line 161, in post_download
    respons = SABnzbd.Helper.add_spotnet_post(post)
  File "C:\Users\Koos\AppData\Local\Plex Media Server\Plug-ins\PlexSpotnet.bundle\Contents\Code\SABnzbd\Helper.py", line 12, in add_spotnet_post
    resp = Api.add_file(post.get_nzb_content() , post.title , **kwargs)

&nbsp;

because this plugin uses data from newsservers it will only work after you set the correct data in the prefences.

&nbsp;

i will try to create a simple plugin withs mimics this error

&nbsp;

greets Loek

&nbsp;

sorry for the bad english

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

------EDIT-----------

&nbsp;

&nbsp;
