Plex Widget API Error

[nackerr]

I've setup the plex widget, and have confirmed the token is correct. I can visit the API url in my personal browser, and from curling in the container with the token and get a response, but the widget does not work.

Just says:
API Error: The string did not match the expected pattern.

Here's my setup:

• Media:
  • Plex:
    icon: plex.png
    description: Movies
    href: http://192.168.4.206:32400/web
    ping: http://192.168.4.206:32400
    widget:
    type: plex
    url: http://192.168.4.206:32400
    key: TOKEN

Can you post the curl output (from inside the container)?

At 401 is unauthorized so I’m still guessing there’s an issue reaching your Plex instance, or with the token, etc.

Hey there, it has no issues curling the page from inside the container.

Output here, GitHub cutting it off: https://haste.ryann.gg/bcadfbgljd.phptemp

You didnt use the issue form, is there anything in the logs?

And thats just the index page, how about the actual API endpoints

• curl -L -k 'http://192.168.4.206:32400/library/sections?X-Plex-Token=TOKEN'
• /status/sessions
• /library/sections/${library._attributes.key}/all (key comes from one of the 'sections' above with type 'movie' or 'show')

[nackerr]

My apologies, I missed that! I was tired when I made the issue.

Installed through Docker, latest version. Homepage is also latest, everything is fresh installed Yesterday.

homepage logs just contain a bunch of spam of the following lines:

I've also enabled debug logging method through the ENV variables.

[shamoon]

took me a sec, i think it just came down to the fact that you have 1 library which causes a runtime error. If youre interested please test out main once its done building ~10 minutes

[nackerr]

This appears to have fixed it, but I'm thinking there might be other parts referencing this same thing - just don't have time to look.

It appears on refresh it loses count, as my movies goes back from 4 to 0 after it does its periodic refresh. On first load of the page it's correct.

[nackerr]

@shamoon would you like me to open a new issue?

[shamoon]

Hmm, I cant reproduce that (with your data). Perhaps try re-creating the container?

[shamoon]

Edit: I see it now, lemme investigate...

[nackerr]

Awesome, was just about to let you know :)

https://rzr.bz/077kjgkq7.png

[shamoon]

ok, think I've got it (wasn't the same bug, youre just eagle-eyed for noticing)
again, building main https://github.com/benphelps/homepage/actions/runs/3665051121

[shamoon]

Ps. Where did you get a 401? that still doesnt make sense to me

[nackerr]

So, in my tiredness, I made a mistake. I had a "ping" set for the widget, but the ping was set to the incorrect domain. So I had the 401 from that, but the error for the library also at the same time and combined them. You can see this here.

The error I actually had in regards to this issue was a 500 proxy error in the network console.

[shamoon]

Ah thanks, yea thats what threw me off initially =)

[nackerr]

Your latest commit to main appears to be working great now, thank you!

[nackerr]

Hey there, hate to be the bearer of bad news but it's still happening after some time. @shamoon

https://rzr.bz/wmpsddv2y.png

[shamoon]

Hmm, now I really cant reproduce. This has been running for > 1h (I changed all the cache times to be very low to make sure). I will leave it running.

At the risk of being annoying, I would ask the same questions:

• Can you try hard recreate of the container
• Any relevant logs?

[nackerr]

No logs with anything relevant. I did a docker stop, a docker pull (to get latest main), and then I ran the following:

docker run --restart=always -p 3000:3000 -d -v /homepage/config:/app/config -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock ghcr.io/benphelps/homepage:main

Just did it again, we shall see.

[nackerr]

Yeah, just happened again. Not sure :(

[shamoon]

I can re-create it only in docker, think I have an idea...

[shamoon]

Alright mate, really hoping to finally have this Its still the second issue from above, it just wasn't fixed by that change.
