Greetings. How can i validate Prefs after saving and promt user to correct if something wrong (wrong login|password).

This code doen’t work (nothing is shown):

def ValidatePrefs():
  return MessageContainer('Error', 'Something wrong!')

All what i get in log:

2015-09-17 16:39:23,739 (de8) : DEBUG (runtime:717) - Handling request GET /:/plugins/com.plexapp.agents.kinopoisk/prefs/set

ValidatePrefs()
This function is called when the user modifies their preferences. The developer can check the newly provided values to ensure they are correct (e.g. attempting a login to validate a username and password), and optionally return a MessageContainer to display any error information to the user.

Doesn’t behave as per framework documentation. I have the following installed:

  • Synology DS1815+ NAS running Plex server app “PlexMediaServer-1.1.4.2757-24ffd60-x86.spk”
  • Plex Web Version 2.8.1
  • Plex Server Version 1.1.4.2757
  • Accessed from running on Windows 10 pro x64

I need it to be working for my Hama agent, as i use agent data folders and if installed with Unsupported Appstore v2, i need to be able to bring a popup with this validation “def ValidatePrefs():” function but while it ran, no popup was shown… So same boat and issue persists…

Would love to have an update… Need the popup for my agent…
