How did you install python?

I didn't do anything with Python that I recall... was I supposed to? I simply installed Plex Media Server.

[johnsonx42]

I do notice now though that despite Plex telling me that it's up to date, the version on the plex website (0.9.8.6.175) is a later version than what I have. When I get a chance (much later tonight or tomorrow) I'll try updating.

It shouldn't be a factor. But I'm in the latest.

Python is installs as part of plex (or plex handles it internally)

[johnsonx42]

Updating to the latest version solved the problem, now it works fine. Odd, the version I was running was only downloaded 3 weeks ago, it's not like it was ancient!

[psycik]

How weird It had an effect.

There were a number of differences between the .9.7 and .9.8 but I didn't think anything in this area.

What's to understand? The python error for the use of an unsupported function was causing your code to generate an exception.

Psycik,

Do you have any control over when something is streamed or transcoded?
I have a relatively slow linux server running my unraid & plex

If I play the files through my plex client on my samsung bluray (bd-e6500) they direct play, but through your channel they transcode.

No, that's controlled by plex. I just give the client the file, and plex decides depending on the clients abilities whether to transcode or not.

I wonder what the difference is.

Can you send a PMS and nextpvr channel log showing playback from the plex client and then via the channel. Basically want to see the messages that get sent to see if we can work it out.

I have installed your channel plugin in plex server and I'm impressed it works very well. I have given up on XBMC as its way too buggy. The windows has broken repositories and I'm not even going to get into the ARM port. Plex is done right with a client server module and upports transcoding for weaker devices. Works very well in ARM. Are you planning on adding Live TV support that would make it amazing. I'm using NextPVR for Hauppage H2PVR-2 and it works very well. Its the only PVR backend that supports it well.

You got to add Live TV support with trancoding via plex.
