Unable to start plex add-on - JonnyGators - 2024-08-15

When trying to start the plex add-on, it only produces an error.

I've grabbed a log file

Anybody?

Bump

Be patient and don't bump so quickly.

Seems to be a problem with the Plex addon. From line 804 you can see all the errors.
Hop over to the Github page for the Plex addon and lodge an issue report.
Nothing we can do here as it is a 3rd party addon, not a Kodi addon.

I suspect it has to do with the version urllib3 installed on this system:

"script.module.urllib3 v2.1.0 installed"

and the Plex addon.  If the addon was written for urllib v1.x and not 2.x this import issue is a common problem.  As mentioned by others the folks on GitHub should be able to help.


Thanks,

Jeff

I've opened a ticket on github with the log - https://github.com/plexinc/plex-for-kodi/issues/393

It has gone ignored for 5 days now.

Perhaps they don't care about their add-on anymore, and another plex option needs to be made?

The fork https://github.com/pannal/plex-for-kodi seems to be better maintained.

There are alternatives to Plex which are fully supported.  I maintain and develop the Mezzmo Kodi addon.  You are welcome to take a look and ask questions.  The support forum is here.  The Mezzmo Kodi addon does support Plex in DLNA mode but that isn't its strength.


Thanks,
