Channels no longer displayed on Plex for iOS v.5.12

[momo9237]

Hello,

Since this morning, the iptv folder is empty on iOS following Plex update night (version 5.12). I tried both methods in the server (url and file directly in plugins). Nothing to do. Yet on android everything is ok.

It will be necessary to think urgently of an update of the plugin I think or do you have a solution to propose so that the list of chains is again displayed in plex for iOS?

Any update opn this chaps?

I have the same issue. Only happens on iOS after new update and shows as no content available instead of the list of channels. Works on all other devices.

Hello. No news ?

FYI, ive just checked other plug-ins on my iOS device and that has the same issue.

I would assume this means the iOS Plex update has affected all Plug-ins, not just this one.

Its not been removed yet, this is an IOS related issue.

There’s been two plex updates on iOS and still broken

[mtyler1983]

are you actually going to fix it or just ignore the issue? A simple post telling us if it’s being worked on or not will help

Hi guys, I’ve found the solution. With my fixes, now it’s possible to access again the plugin list and search inside the plugin contents (feature apparently only available for web and android version). Now i’m at the office, but these evening i’ll post here the whole fix.

Great thank you gnpace. We await your help :)

Here I am.
Ok, let's proceed step by step.

Step 1: Fix Plugin

• open the file __init__.py (<plex_plugins_folder>/IPTV.bundle/Contents/Code/__init__.py)
• change this line def MainMenu(): into this one def MainMenu(**kwargs):
• change this line def ListGroups(page = 1): into this one def ListGroups(page = 1, **kwargs):
• change this line def ListItems(group = unicode('All'), query = '', page = 1): into this one def ListItems(group = unicode('All'), query = '', page = 1, **kwargs):
• change this line def ReloadPlaylist(): into this one def ReloadPlaylist(**kwargs):
• change this line def ReloadGuide(): into this one def ReloadGuide(**kwargs):

Before going on, test in your IOS devices if everything's ok.

Step 2: Enable search inside IOS apps

• download this file and extract it: DumbTools.zip
• place the file DumbTools.py inside <plex_plugins_folder>/IPTV.bundle/Contents/Code folder
• open the file __init__.py (<plex_plugins_folder>/IPTV.bundle/Contents/Code/__init__.py)
• after the line from locale_patch import L, SetAvailableLanguages, place this line from DumbTools import DumbKeyboard
• change this lines group:
  if Prefs['search']:
oc.add(
InputDirectoryObject(
key = Callback(ListItems),
title = unicode(L('Search')),
#prompt = unicode(L('Search')),
thumb = R('icon-search.png')
)
)
  into this:
  if Prefs['search']:
if Client.Product in DumbKeyboard.clients:
DumbKeyboard(PREFIX, oc, ListItems,
dktitle = unicode(L('Search')),
dkthumb = R('icon-search.png')
)
else:
oc.add(
InputDirectoryObject(
key = Callback(ListItems),
title = unicode(L('Search')),
thumb = R('icon-search.png')
)
)

Test in your IOS devices if everything's ok...et voilà, le jeux sont faits!

Thank you very much :) Super. I tested solution 1 to display the list of channels on Plex for iOS and it works.
Thank you again and congratulations for all the work done on this plugin.

Hey @gnpace , why don't you make a pull request?

@gnpace - after doing this changes the plugin has stopped working completely inside Plex. I cannot view channels in the web app anymore. using latest synology update and latest plex release for synology
