WebTools-NG

Either here, or in a DM

Followup for others who stumble upon this. Looks like there is a PMS bug that has broken the View State Copy function. A bug report has been logged with the Plex team.

See: Plex Media Server - #596 by drzoidberg33

Can confirm that the latest Plex update has fixed the issue with view state copy.

I’m having an issue with the Find Media tool where scanning any library seems to stall near the end - the status just gets stuck.
Here are some examples - any well known issues/workarounds?

Status: Processing
Info: Scanning Library
Items: Processing item 600 of 645

Status: Processing
Info: Scanning Library
Items: Processing item 3780 of 3782

Switch WebTool-NG to Silly log level, and restart.
Then reproduce, and upload both WebTools-NG logs as well as Plex Media Server logs in a zip

Sorry for the delayed reply - I’ve been cleaning out a lot of old library files and updating others. After a day it the Find Media tool seems to be working correctly now. Thanks for your response.

Hi dane22. I installed the WebTools-NG on Windows to connect to a PMS in the local home network, and I want to export only the movies that have a certain genre, or that are in a certain collection.

I did not find any option in the GUI to do that.
Is that possible using WebTools-NG?

Thanks
Andy

WebTools-NG does not support filters while exporting, so your option is to export all into a CSV file, and afterwards delete the unwanted entries

Thanks for the quick answer!

Hi, I’ve searched but not had much luck. What do the options in Global Settings / PMS Settings do?

Are they controlling the timeouts for only the Webtools connection? Or are they setting that timeout value for the Plex Server for all clients?

It’s the timeout for Webtools-NG, while communicating with your server

Thanks. Was looking for a way to stop Plex timing out while an HD spins up. Back to the search! :grin:

Looks like the error affecting View State Sync is back. WebTools-NG v1.2.1.f962812 and PMS Version 1.40.0.7775

Yep, I’m facing the same issue :frowning:

Where can I find out more about the WT beta?

I downloaded and installed the non-beta version… I noticed it is from 2022… I assume beta is current? is there a feature list, fix list?

There’s currently no beta running, sorry

Is this a dead project?

I hope not :wink:

Just been darn busy last year, so sadly no spare time

Are yow the author, or one of them?
