Pecinko,

Thanks for awesome work as usual... where can I find a change log?

- Home page sections should refresh properly
- Script error should be fixed
- Breadcrumbs should be improved

Guys try manually setting PMS IP address, add or remove MyPlex login, restart a few times.

This error is very weird as it suggest script has a problem parsing (valid!) XML file for some reason. You can try using element tree instead of celementtree (if you know your way in python) but script will parse at least 3-4 times slower. Am still not sure what exactly is going on.

Im already set for manual PMS IP address and never actually used the login...

I have reset it about 7 times and still get the Script error... even going back to 3.4.0 still gives me the error...

I changed line 396 like this:
Code:
return {'serverName': server.attrib['friendlyName'].encode('utf-8'),
and line 401 like this:
Code:
'uuid'      : server.attrib['machineIdentifier'],
and these solved my problem (but i had to reboot the pi for them to take effect, before the reboot I saw the previous error about etree.fromstring() in the log file). After the reboot I can see all my Plex Movies and TV Shows and the log had no errors. Thanks again. Is there anything I can/should do?

I think you have been very helpful alreadySmile I'll change the code and hopefully this error will be fixed for good. I'm not able to reproduce it at all.

In Plex (Home Theater or web interface) I've got the option to switch to a folder-view of my section, which is extremely helpful when navigating through my homevideos.
However, I haven't found this folder-view mode in plexbmc running the amber skin :-(

1.) Am I overlooking something?
2.) If not, would this be a feature related to xbmc, plexbmc or amber?

You mean the left hand options menu? SORT BY just says 'title' (and nothing else to choose) and ORDER BY let me choose between ascending and descending :-(

No, when you click on movies you are presented with a intermediate filters screen. Somewhere at the bottom is by folder.

Okay, I found it: I had deactivated the "extra filter menus" during my initial setup of plexbmc in the look and feel settings, because these filters don't make sense for me for tv shows or movies... (but for home videos :-( )
Unfortunately, this setting can't be done on a per-section basis, but I found a workaround:
- Activate extra filter menus
- Make "by folder" a favorite
- Deactivate extra filter menus

This way, the behavior for movies and tv shows stays the same and I can access my home videos via favorites...

Thanks for your help...

The fix suggested by berserk (thanks!) and implemented in 3.4.3 works great if PMS server is running on a local network.

My PMS is on a remote VPS server and I'm getting the following error.

Hi Pecinko,

Just wondering if you could offer some help on the following?

I have the following installed:

PMS 9.8
XBMC Gotham (Lastest nightly, 28th Jan)
PleXBMC 3.4.3
Amber

I've ensured the last two are for Gotham etc.

When I start XBMC I get a "Script Error Plex"....

Do you have any advice on what version of XBMC Gotham I should be using to work with the lasted PleXBMC/Amber?

Thanks

Any Gotham build should work fine, Amber from XBMC repository and PleXBMC from the first post in this thread.

hmm, tried that and it's working....however I had an odd situation whereby my main client (lounge room HTPC) isn't showing all items is movies...when I list "All Movies" it only shows "Unwatched Movies" and also when I list by "Recently Released" it again isn't showed watched items....do you know what I could be doing wrong? Is there a way I can reset the client from scratch or clear cached data or something? Thanks...
