RE: Composite (A Plex client) - Fma15 - 2020-05-24

Will this also get the feature to skip openings like the original plex app just got?

RE: Composite (A Plex client) - anxdpanic - 2020-05-24

@Fma15
I would love to add that for Plex Pass users, sadly I'm not currently in the position to be one of those users.
So if a Plex Pass user that wants to help and is capable of making some (provided) changes to python source, and provide the logs etc, I would be happy to work on this.

@anxdpanic

Hopefully it eventually becomes a free feature later on. Unfortunately, I'm not nearly good enough with tech to help you.

RE: Composite (A Plex client) - anxdpanic - 2020-05-24

I've created an issue https://github.com/anxdpanic/plugin.video.composite_for_plex/issues/153 if you'd like to keep an eye on the progress.

RE: Composite (A Plex client) - Fma15 - 2020-05-24

Thanks, I'll keep an eye on that!

Hi @anxdpanic
I actually test your addon and It's very good !
However, I think that is setting the incorrect "Container.Content" type for images because when I look pictures in my skin (Arctic Horizon), It display "Movie" type, so thumbnails are poster instead of landscape or square.
The correct content type for images is "images"

https://codedocs.xyz/AlwinEsch/kodi/grou...fc1e2318d6
I know that pictures aren't so important for many people that use Kodi but it's a shame not to give as much attention as to movies, TV or music.
Could you fix that ?
Thx

RE: Composite (A Plex client) - anxdpanic - 2020-05-25

@myghalloween
The issue was with mixed content. I've made an update which hopefully strikes a working balance.
In v1.1.1 if there was mixed content 'movies' was used regardless
In v1.2.0~alpha content is counted and the majority is used. For example if there are 100 images and 10 videos, 'images' is now used

The alpha is available https://github.com/anxdpanic/plugin.video.composite_for_plex/releases/tag/1.x.x-dev

RE: Composite (A Plex client) - myghalloween - 2020-05-26

@anxdpanic
I think that pictures albums (mixed or not) should always be "image" type. Because videos in albums aren't movies and don't use cover art much time but thumbnails

RE: Composite (A Plex client) - mufflon12 - 2020-05-26

im still getting
Failed: HTTP returned error 503

I cant resume the playback , but i can start another video without problems and then resume the playback Big Grin

@myghalloween
1.2.0~alpha2 has a setting for this, it defaults to the behavior you're wanting.

@mufflon12
Thanks for letting me know, I will try to keep an eye out for a solution.

@komplex
Can you try 1.2.0~alpha2, see below for how to configure a custom access url. It's been log tested, but hasn't been tested against a live example yet.

Updated 1.2.0~alpha2 @ https://github.com/anxdpanic/plugin.video.composite_for_plex/releases/tag/1.x.x-dev

Code:
~alpha2

[add] added setting to configure mixed content type behavior

[add] added support for custom access urls (ie. nginx)

         - Main Menu - Manage Servers - <server> - Custom access urls - Add custom access url

Really like what i have seen with the addon so far, nice and quick. I do have the same issue as @komplex where one of the remote servers I am connected to says its offline. I have tried this alpha version and added the custom url with no luck. If I type into a browser the http site it comes up with a nginx web page, and if I enter the https address it takes me to plex webpage as normal. Using kodi 18. Thanks

It's getting there, it now shows my plex library

But when I click on anything I just get an error. Log: https://paste.ee/r/NQ5VU. I can open this issue on github if it makes it easier for you

RE: Composite (A Plex client) - mufflon12 - 2020-05-27

@anxdpanic

Not sure if it helps but i can provide a debug log now Smile

RE: Composite (A Plex client) - anxdpanic - 2020-05-27

@mufflon12
I would hold off on the log until the next alpha if possible. The current log could still be useful though.
I am working on another alpha continuing the implementation of the custom access urls. There are lots of changes are the url handling and processing so it may indirectly resolve your issue. Smile

Before posting a log in the thread I would sanitize it a bit first. Find and replace any server ips with .'s or -'s, and any *Token=<token>. The add-on hides this as best as possible but some leaks through with Kodi's logging. You're also welcome to email it as well. same username [at] gmail.

@komplex
It's up to you, if you want to open an issue on GitHub. Whichever is easier for you is fine with me.
That said, I have nginx up and using the same configuration as you now. A couple things left to iron out, but I think those will be pretty straight forward.
I'm hoping to have a new alpha up tonight or tomorrow
