Is Watch Later (those videos you can add from youtube etc ) available on Plexconnect ? I dont seem to see it any of the menus ?
You have to use the channel it’s not built into plexconnect.
@drebie thanks , which channel ? Is it in official store ?

Thanks I have installed this, but doesnt seem to bring up the watch later Items .. (such as videos you cn add via "plex it" from sources such as you tube etc.) Is this what the app is intended to do ?

Hmm, I installed this ages ago and it was working great. However recently I've noticed it is no longer working. Just gives a message "Plex Media Server: No Items Available"
Still working using Plex/Web though.
Hm... just checked, still works for me.
What are you doing?

Quick question, why is this feature a channel and not built right into PlexConnect?
1) Plex Queue is pulling media from various places on the internet. Just like a "channel", so why not make it a channel?
2) With limited codec/container support aTV most likely needs a PMS to do the transcoding anyways (though this might get less and less important, once every place switches to m4v, essentially skipping flv). But then, why go through the hassle of accessing "plex.tv/queue", figuring out if aTV can play it natively, if not check for a PMS nearby and ask for help. With no PMS found, tell the user "sorry, I can't play that file today". Seems silly to me...
3) PlexConnect was set up to always get media from PMS (ok, this native trailers support is different, I had not implemented it :-). Why do an exception for the queue?
In the end I guess it comes down to philosophy...

Hi, been away for a while, back now. Queue still not working.
PlexConnect 0.5-dev
ATV 7.1
Plex Server 0.9.12.1
OSX 10.10.3
Used to work I am sure. Several other channels work OK on PlexConnect. But for Queue I just get "Plex Media Server: No Items Available". Queue works fine on Plex Web, and Plex iOS. Queue.bundle is where it should be, has created/modified date 11 Feb 2014.
Keen to get this working again, I use it a lot. What other info can I provide?
Is PlexConnect signed into myPlex? I wonder if this has something to do with the Plex Home feature?
Please provide a log trying to access the Queue plugin.
PlexConnect log attached. Basically this is just starting Plexconnect and navigating to the Queue channel. Scroll to 10:48 to see where I clicked on the Queue channel.
I hope it's the log you meant, I guess the PMS and/or Queue plugin log might be useful too?
Yes Plexconnect and PMS both signed in to myPlex as same user.
Plex home appears to be enabled and user logged in on PlexConnect. There is only one user configured on PMS.
I tried setting plexhome_enable to False in ATVSettings.cfg, but it seemed to keep getting put back to True when I started PlexConnect.
I don't fully understand all this user auth stuff, but I am trainable so happy to try other things, send other logs etc.
Thanks.
Urgh...
That "art" address doesn't look right... though it shouldn't affect the queue for now.
Edit: around 10:46:15
10:46:15 PlexAPI: GDM: Servers discovered: 1
and following...
MiniMe is discovered by GDM. It is NOT found on myplex/plex.tv - only CloudSync available there.
Based on this, MiniMe's properties are not updated with a proper token, leading to "No X-Plex-Token" when trying to access plex.tv/your queue through MiniMe.
10:48:22 PlexAPI:
I guess, your MiniMe isn't correctly published after all...
OK interesting spot, even if I don't fully understand (yet). Maybe the problem is outside PlexConnect, but anyway, help me understand please:
Using either:
http://plex.tv/web/app(web browser on a different computer to MiniMe); or
Plex for iOS on iPad;
I can both see and play all my saved myPlex queue items.
They appear in both a "Queue" channel, and also in a "Watch Later" (web) or "Queue" (iOS) section.
So, an abundance of myPlex queue functionality going on here, except on PlexConnect.
MiniMe is my only Plex server. PlexConnect also runs on it. What do I need to teach MiniMe to do in order to let PlexConnect see the queue?
Fix this? (under Server -> Settings -> Remote Access):
"Your server is signed into Plex, but is not reachable from outside your network."
Up until now, being not really the sharing type, I'd seen that as a benefit...
Answering my own question...remote access now working, and PlexConnect queue magically working.
My new and improved router installed a while ago, says it supports uPnP, but obviously something about that isn't playing nice with Plex.
Forwarded a port, all is good.
New question, is there a way of getting the queue working on PlexConnect without requiring remote access to be enabled?
Anyway, thanks!
>>New question, is there a way of getting the queue working on PlexConnect without requiring remote access to be enabled?
Not quite. PlexConnect - hm, maybe better your PMS - needs the myplex token to be authorized to access your queue. It might be possible to implement a different authorization scheme into the Queue plugin (PMS side) in order to remove the need for PlexConnect's token. But then you wouldn't watch "your" queue - as in signed in at your aTV - but rather the PMS admin's queue. Which might be the same in most of the cases, but having a multi-user, multi-aTV environment it might as well be someone else...
