Hey guys I keep getting a "Plex Error: Plex token is invalid" error. I've tried the token manually (http://192.168.0.10:32400/?X-Plex-Token=XXXXX and it absolutely works. I've tried with SSL and without and I've tried replacing IP with localhost etc and nothing seems to work.
Any ideas what might be happening here?

Used a guide, pulled it from the XML
The strange thing is it works otherwise just not with plexapi looks like
Using the AUR version of plexmediaserver if that helps
chrome zephyr
Do Not Use the Plex Token found in Plex’s Preferences.xml file
thats what our guide explicitly says.

Used a guide, pulled it from the XML
Which XML specifically?
If it was the preferences.xml then, as zaP said, you shouldn't use it.
If it was from a media item within your library, it should work.
Your other option is to do a sign-out and sign-in to reset your token
wanton python
Alternatively try navigating to an XML via your server URL (i.e. not app.plex.tv)
see if you get the same token (you should I think)
subtle pike
interesting, i'll check now
wanton python
Ultimately we are just making the call, if Plex is refusing the token then there is little we can do about that other than suggest getting a new token
chrome zephyr
yarp
subtle pike
yep same token on plex.tv and local version
I'll just make a new token and try that
very strange stuff
wanton python
Plex token is invalid means that it is at least successfully making the connection
So your IP and port is correct etc, there is a different error if it's SSL related, so it isn't that either
But glad to see you've actually tried some basic troubleshooting 👍
subtle pike
Appreciate it lads. I'll keep playing around and let you know what worked
wanton python
Can you let me know if this link works:
https://discover.provider.plex.tv/hubs/sections/home?X-Plex-Token=TOKEN
subtle pike
I even tried adding: plex: http://192.168.0.10:32400/web/?X-Plex-Token=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX to the config thinking the plexapi.py would detect
ok I'll check sec
wanton python
and this:
http://192.168.0.10:32400/library/sections?X-Plex-Token=TOKEN
chrome zephyr
just to make sure, you have this in the config.yml
plex:
url: http://10.10.10.250:32400
token: abncbfdsjfjskdf
and not something like
token: X-Plex-Token=abncbfdsjfjskdf
subtle pike
yep thats what I have
spook the first one didn't work the second one did
output is strange it just lists mounted libraries
wanton python
yeah that's what I expected from the second one
Try:
192.168.0.10:32400/library/sections/SECTIONID/all?X-Plex-Token=TOKEN
replacing TOKEN and also SECTIONID with one of the ID's from the second URL I had you try which listed all the libraries
Ideally do it on one of your smaller libraries 😄
subtle pike
aahah not the 16tb drive then 😄
wanton python
lol!
subtle pike
yea that definitely worked
subtle pike
yea and if that dosn't work I might get rid of this plex and set up a server using docker
thanks for the help though
wanton python
Let us know how you get on
