I definately going to be a couple more weeks... there is a lot going on.

Stuckless, believe me I know how that is. thanks for working on it!

[fresnoboy]

Any updates on when a new sagex-api will show up in the updater?

thx!

[fresnoboy]

Everyone, stuckless has fixed the problem, and this plugin now works again!

Just update the sagex plugin and it will update the library too, and then restart sage and it should all work again!

We owe stuckless a beer for this one!

Thanks
Mike

Anyone use this in the Plex Media Server docker on unRAID? I've manually put the files in place, and configured the .json, but I am not getting any results from the scanner, with the following error in Plex Media Scanner.log:

EDIT: Nevermind - I found I had to add the SAGEPLEX_CFG variable to the docker and point it to the docker's plex location: /config/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/sageplex_cfg.json

I just installed the Plex Media Server with the BMT agent and it worked great.

Just curious, how often the the PMS check for updated TV shows?

I believe there's a setting in Settings -> Server -> Library. It can scan on an interval (as often as hourly) and also 'automatically' when it detects a change in a folder (not sure how this works for a file being written by sage, haven't paid close enough attention).

Is it possible in the Plex API to write this plugin so that it won't remove all my recordings if it can't contact SageTV?

I try to remember to shut down Plex whenever I do maintenance on SageTV. My problem is that I sometimes forget to do so or something just goes wrong. When that happens Plex can't contact the SageTV and assumes the recordings no longer exist and ends up removing them instead.

Ideally, a case of failing to connect should mean "we're going to assume this file still exists until we can confirm it doesn't".

So the files are still there, just the sagetv is no longer running, so PLEX can't get the metadata, or are the files also not there (because sage is on a different machine perhaps and machine is turned off?)

Plex & SageTV are running on the same machine. The files are there but SageTV is not running.

It seems that ever since I upgraded BMT to the latest version I'm no longer getting fanart. In the agent log I'm seeing entries about fanart not being fanart. Not sure if that's the problem or not.

[macsupergeek]

I used to run the plex/bmt scanner and it worked great. Recently I purchased a new computer to serve just playon and plex and separate them from my SageTV to divide out the load. Problem is now with a brand new install of Plex, it seems that the structure of Plex has changed -- under %LOCALDATA%\Plex Media Server there is no more scanners folder, and under the plugins folder is only the "services.bundle". It seems that they moved most of the stuff into the Program Files folder. Am I missing something or has it really changed?

[plotter]

take a look at the download section on https://github.com/ai7/sagetv-for-plexmediacenter

The BMT bundle and Movies/Series Scanners are all added by the install script (or manually). A clean plex install my not add the Scanners dir, but i can confirm plex 1.1.4.2757 looks/finds them there.

Here's the error the BMT agent is now getting when trying to get fanart. I looked in the log. It's saying it's detected html in the response. I ran the query and added &help=true and got this response:

Usage

/sagex/media/COMMAND/MEDIA_FILE
or
/sagex/media/COMMAND?mediafile=MEDIA_FILE

Where COMMAND is one of thumbnail, albumart, background, fanart, logo, banner, mediafile, poster, properties, 
And MEDIA_FILE is a Sage MediaFileId or File Path

Examples

/sagex/media/thumbnail/3212321
/sagex/media/mediafile/3212321
/sagex/media/mediafile/3212321/1 (returns the second media file for 321321)
/sagex/media/mediafile/3212321?m3u (returns the mediafile as a m3u playlist)
/sagex/media/mediafile?mediafile=/sagetv/vidoes/tv/futurama.avi&force-mime=video/mpeg
/sagex/media/background/3212321
NOTE: background, banner, and poster all require Phoenix Fanart APIs build 30 (1.30) or later.

You can also fetch logos
/sagex/media/logo/WTVDDT

Full Phoenix Fanart is also supported
/sagex/media/fanart?title=ShowName&mediatype=tv|movie|music&artifact=poster|banner|background&artifactTitle=&season=#&overwrite=true|false&transform=json_transform&scalex=#&scaley=#&tag=web&mediafile=sageid|filename
You can mix and match whatever parameters you want for the fanart to get the exact fanart required

The fanart media handler is installed with phoenix-api... Make sure that phoenix-api is installed and that it is not disabled. (This should not be the cases, especially if BMT is installed and working).

The other option is that sagetv when it updated Phoenix API jar, actually overwrote it with an extremely old version... As odd as this sounds... this is exactly what happened to me when I updated to the latest phoenix. In BMT, what version does it show for the "Phoenix Version".

I'd say it could be java7/8 issue, but... I would expect to see a different error if that were the case.

Thank you. Looks like that's what my problem was. The phoenix-api was not actually installed as well as phoenix-core and who knows what else. I should probably work through things and make sure no other dependencies for any of my other packages are missing.

This thread is huge so apologies if this has been answered, but why does this particular scanner put each season as it's own selection as opposed to the show being at the top level and then drill down to the season then episode?

All this plugin does is provide the metadata to Plex. How plex displays that is completely up to it.

OK. Found a way to put all seasons of a show into a single folder?

I don't know if plex can do this, I think it always groups tv shows in Show/Season/Episode format. Are you saying you want just Show/Episode?
