Feature request: PlexPy

[yeyeoke]

I'd like to request a feature integration of PlexPy, would be great to have it integrated in HTPC-manager and I do believe PlexPy has a working api.

[Hellowlol]

Ye, i know. I have played some with it:) My main problems is the css, i think plexpy looks so beautiful and i suck at css.

[yeyeoke]

Sadly my knowledge of CSS is worse than yours by far, that much I'm sure of.

[Mosalar]

I would also love to see you add this module.

[JonSingleton]

Wound up here trying to find this addon myself in the quest for the most magnificent pi3/mate media server manager.

I actually am rather fluent in css - I have done it for a living (among other things, unfortunately no python knowledge).

If needed I am happy to put forth some help on the css side of things. If you handle the API and throw all the necessary elements into the page (without formatting etc) I SHOULD be able to get it set up nice and tidy.

[Hellowlol]

I can do the python part, im just as bad with js as css do would have to do that aswell :P.

If you want i can make skeleton you can play with. What do you need?

[JonSingleton]

I'd imagine to most used options would be the fields from notification
settings, notification setup, and monitoring settings. I can't see any
reason to have anything in it that has to do with plexpys display or
anything just General plexpy settings that aren't already included in the
Plex module.

Myself personally I'd be fine with just the notification options etc, but
anything more you feel should be available is fine too, if you do that I'd
like to get it out as a full module for anyone who wants it 😀

@JonSingleton You can play with https://github.com/Hellowlol/HTPC-Manager/tree/plexpy_sekel

It has all the same methods as plexpy api, all json response should work. it still need some work for images etc, but its a start.

[JonSingleton]

I'll give this a gander today or tonight. Fast work, were you working on
this already?

No, I just made it since you showed interest. The modules has a lot in common so it's fast to add the Python part.

The endpoints correspond to plexpy API. So if you want the plexpy log you can:

Host:port/plexpy/get_logs?param=value1&param2=value2

Is there some progress here? Can i help with some testing?

[JonSingleton]

I've been unable to review or test in any way. Busy season at work, and
being hourly makes for a fantastic paycheck. You should just be able to
test that branch.

There is no progress. The entire front end is missing. The backend need to be secured but the branch was just to get the ball rolling

[blackley]

I can help with the css

[Hellowlol]

Awesome, i still have to do the html and the js, i dont wasnt to do that :P. The branch supports everything that plexpy supports

When switching to this branch and trying to run Htpc.py multiple errors appear. Pulled it down so I could look at the HTML and CSS front end.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "Htpc.py", line 264, in <module> main() File "Htpc.py", line 249, in main load_modules() File "Htpc.py", line 111, in load_modules htpc.ROOT.plexpy = Plexpy() File "C:\Users\jbart\HTPC-Manager\modules\plexpy.py", line 35, in __init__ self._build_methods() File "C:\Users\jbart\HTPC-Manager\modules\plexpy.py", line 66, in _build_methods r = cls._fetch(**{'cmd': 'docs'}) File "C:\Users\jbart\HTPC-Manager\modules\plexpy.py", line 95, in _fetch r = requests.get(url) File "C:\Users\jbart\HTPC-Manager\libs\requests\api.py", line 69, in get return request('get', url, params=params, **kwargs) File "C:\Users\jbart\HTPC-Manager\libs\requests\api.py", line 50, in request response = session.request(method=method, url=url, **kwargs) File "C:\Users\jbart\HTPC-Manager\libs\requests\sessions.py", line 451, in request prep = self.prepare_request(req) File "C:\Users\jbart\HTPC-Manager\libs\requests\sessions.py", line 382, in prepare_request hooks=merge_hooks(request.hooks, self.hooks), File "C:\Users\jbart\HTPC-Manager\libs\requests\models.py", line 304, in prepare self.prepare_url(url, params) File "C:\Users\jbart\HTPC-Manager\libs\requests\models.py", line 365, in prepare_url raise InvalidURL("Invalid URL %r: No host supplied" % url) requests.exceptions.InvalidURL: Invalid URL u'http://:/api/v2?apikey=&cmd=docs': No host supplied

[Hellowlol]

You need to enter plexpy API credentials on the settings page. There is no HTML or CSS. It's only backend code.

[strikerjjb]

That would make sense but Htpc.py won't even complete build/run to allow a user to get to the front end to change it as the web server never initiates given the errors.

[Hellowlol]

Ok. It's a easy fix but I don't have time now. I'll ping you once it's done.

[strikerjjb]

All I started working on this and I was wondering what do people want to see on a plex py page? Right now a simple start I have is this:

[Hellowlol]

I guess graphs/stats dunno. Nice start!

[blackley]

I would like to see details from the History page most importantly and details from the plexpy home page

[strikerjjb]

Alright I have the main javascript coded in for the poster view pretty much done. I will probably make a tabbed view and lay in a section each for history and collection stats.

Example of Tabbed View:

[Hellowlol]

Nice!

[strikerjjb]

@blackley Can you look at my last post and does the watch stats cover what you meant by plexpy homepage? History is next then I will talk to Hellowlol about getting this branch updated for folks to test.

[strikerjjb]

@Hellowlol I am getting close on this how do you want me to submit the code given this is a separate branch?

[Hellowlol]

just open a pr for the same branch ill take it from there.

[mauirixxx]

I don't have anything to add other than I'm very excited for this - I originally logged in to post a feature request for PlexPy to at least show "what's playing" - it looks like we'll have more then that!

Awesome! :D

[Hellowlol]

You know the plex module already has a what playing?

[mauirixxx]

i see now that it shows up in the Plex module automatically..

What I was hoping was to see was an option for the dashboard to see what's playing as well, either via PlexPy or Plex itself.

[strikerjjb]

@mauirixxx @Hellowlol I need to finish this first but then I could look at building something for the dash that could be similar to the first tab but modified for a dash.

[strikerjjb]

Alright have the table building with Sort and Search working:

[mauirixxx]

that is awesome! I look forward to using your hard work :P

[strikerjjb]

All this has been merged into the plexpy branch. Change your branch and test if you have a chance. Open to feedback.

[Hellowlol]

Please dont use the plexpy branch. It isnt secure. It was just something i wipped together so somebody could start hacking on the boring parts.

I just update htpc manger and you will have access to the module in the master2 branch.

[Hellowlol]

Big thanks to @strikerjjb for putting this together!

[mauirixxx]

I just updated, working perfectly, thanks again @strikerjjb and @Hellowlol !

@Hellowlol would it be possible to add a PlexPy setting to the "dashboard" called "Show PlexPy Activity" (or something worded better) pulling data from the "get_activity" API command?

Should I do a new "Add PlexPy to dashboard" feature request, since adding PlexPy to HTPC-Manager is now a completed (time to close it?) feature request?

Again, thank yous are owed to both you guys :D

[Hellowlol]

The are a couple of reasons i havnt added any "live" data on the dashboard.

1. Cherrypy isnt async
2. Since it isnt async its easy to lockup the ui. Especially if you have wrong settings in your module.

So to prevent that the dash module would have to pull x time and stop after y failures.

Ideally htpc manager should be rewritten using a async frame work and drop support for anything bellow 3.5. But i cant bare to redo the ui :D

[mauirixxx]

understood.

thanks again though for your work :)

[strikerjjb]

@Hellowlol Lets talk about backend vs. frontend. I think now that this is in master2 we could talk about a new project. You thinking tornado? I am thinking Core UI or something similar

[Hellowlol]

Dunno what to use yet. If this where to be a new project i would drop python 2. I was thinking about sanic or pulsar. Core ui is nice, i give it a star today since it thought it looked awesome. To bad i cant do javascript.
