Hello all,   I am creating a channel for [http://saiyanwatch.com/](http://saiyanwatch.com/)   I have populated the menus in the \_\_init\_\_.py  and that works   I am having issues with creating a URL service. For some reason I cannot test it using the URL   [http://localhost:32400/system/services/url/lookup?url=INSERT\_TEST\_URL](http://localhost:32400/system/services/url/lookup?url=INSERT_TEST_URL)     The url i am using is   [http://localhost:32400/system/services/url/lookup?url=](http://localhost:32400/system/services/url/lookup?url=)http%3A%2F%2Fsaiyanwatch.com%2Fdragonball%2Fdb1%2F   I get a blank screen when doing so.     When i try [http://localhost:32400/:/plugins/com.plexapp.system/serviceTestURLs/com.plexapp.plugins.saiyanwatch ](http://localhost:32400/:/plugins/com.plexapp.system/serviceTestURLs/com.plexapp.plugins.saiyanwatch%C2%A0)   I get      This is my ServiceCode.pys ``` import re def MetadataObjectForURL(url): pageContent = HTML.ElementFromURL(url) title = pageContent.xpath("//meta[@property=‘og:title’]/@content") return EpisodeObject( title = title ) def MediaObjectsForURL(url): return [ MediaObject( audio\_codec = AudioCodec.AAC, video\_codec = VideoCodec.H264, container = ‘mp4’, parts = [PartObject(key=Callback(PlayVideo, url=url))])] def NormalizeURL(url): return url @indirect def PlayVideo(url): Log(url) BASE\_URL = "[http://saiyanwatch.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?"](http://saiyanwatch.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?%22) URL\_ACTION = “action=outofthebox-getplaylist&” URL\_SORT = “lastpath=%2F&sort=name%3Aasc&” ``` tokenRegex = "data-token=\\'[a-z,0-9]*\\'" jsonRegex = "var\soutofthebox_vars\s=\s{.*}" pageContent = HTTP.Request(url).content token = re.search(tokenRegex, pageContent, re.IGNORECASE).group()[11:].replace("'", "").strip() jsonVar = re.search(jsonRegex, pageContent, re.IGNORECASE).group()[23:].strip() jsonObj = JSON.ObjectFromString(jsonVar) nonce = jsonObj["getplaylist_nonce"] fileUrl = BASE_URL + URL_ACTION + URL_SORT + "listtoken=" + token + "&_ajax_nonce=" + nonce videoObj = JSON.ObjectFromString(HTTP.Request(fileUrl).content[1:-1]) finalVidUrl = videoObj["m4v"] return IndirectResponse(VideoClipObject, key=finalVidUrl) ``` def TestURLs(): test\_urls = test\_urls.append(“[http://saiyanwatch.com/dragonball/db1/](http://saiyanwatch.com/dragonball/db1/)”) test\_urls.append(“[http://saiyanwatch.com/dragonball/db3/](http://saiyanwatch.com/dragonball/db3/)”) return test\_urls ``` This is my ServiceInfo.plist ``` URL SaiyanWatch URLPatterns http://([^.]+.)?saiyanwatch.com/.+ TestURLs http://saiyanwatch.com/dragonball/db2/ ``` My directories:   Contents \> Services \>  ServiceInfo.plist Contents \> Services \> URL \> SaiyanWatch \> ServiceCode.pys ---

I don't see anything strange ... Have you tried restarting PMS? Sometimes this is required in order to pickup changes in plugins(especially when doing changes in service code) ---

... looking a little bit more you should probably change this line ``` title = pageContent.xpath("//meta[@property='og:title']/@content") ``` into ``` title = pageContent.xpath("//meta[@property='og:title']/@content")[0] ``` When debugging service code, the com.plexapp.system.log is a very good place to look for errors etc .. ---

Thanks for your reply. I didn’t restart PMS when I updated the code. Ill try out your suggestions when I get home. I was wondering why I didn’t see any errors in my bundles log. I only saw that it found a matching service. ---
