After the update from 0.4.1 to 0.4.2 the thumbnails of the media are no longer shown

[XalaTheShepard]

Since version 0.4.2 the thumbnails of the media are no longer shown in the sensor. Reverting back to 0.4.1 the thumbnails are again visible.
Could you please add the thumbnails to the sensors?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Robin

[XalaTheShepard]

Please find enclosed the image with the current situation in version 0.4.2

Hi Robin, thank you for reporting this issue. I just made a change; and, updated the version to 0.4.3. Can you please give it a try when you're notified of update? Let me know how it works after you update and reboot home assistant.

[XalaTheShepard]

Dear Mkanet, I have updated the integration, but the thumbnails are still not loaded.
In the logs I find no issue with Plex nor with Recently added.
I am wondering if there is an issue in my configuration of my Lovelace Dashboard.
Please find enclosed the screenshots.

Many thanks for looking into this issue.
Kind regards,
Robin

Forgot the details of the sensor

[loryanstrant]

I've got this issue as well, although I don't have a comparison as I only just got it working yesterday.

[pbaart]

I got the same issue after updating to the latest version (0.4.3), but I also moved the config from a yaml file to the frontend.
The issue for me was a Mixed content issue. My Home Assistant is accessed over SSL, but was trying to retrieve the images over a non-SSL connection that was why the images were blocked by the browser.

I had configured my plex server without SSL, because it wouldn't login with SSL enabled on port 32400. Even with Verify SSL turned off it wouldn't login.
After changing my plex to a valid https url it was working again.
Maybe this helps in solving the issue for some of you.

@XalaTheShepard thank you. @pbaart Can you also provide the attribute data just like @XalaTheShepard did above (look under Home Assistant's GUI Developer tools/STATES).

  friendly_name: Plex Plex Recently Added Movie

[mkanet]

Thanks, in all honesty, most of the testing we did was using SSL. As soon as I get time, I will test without SSL to see if I can reproduce what you're seeing.

I might need to involve @Makhuta, He is much more familiar with the latest changes.

[Makhuta]

I have absolutely no clue what the problem might be, I tried every possible combination of config but it worked for me every time.

Conbination tried

Plex	Home Assistant
local address, no ssl	local address
local address, no ssl	domain
local address, ssl	local address
local address, ssl	domain
domain, no ssl	local address
domain, ssl	local address
domain, no ssl	domain
domain, ssl	domain

It worked every time.
Can you please show your setting when adding? (You can censore sensitive data like token ect.) Is there any errors/warnings in log related to the integration?

[XalaTheShepard]

Dear Makhuta, have you each time performed a restart of HA?
I have switched the setup of Plex recently added from local IP for Plex to domain with SSL certificate.
This time, after a reboot, the thumbnails were shown.

[mkanet]

@Makhuta I was able to reproduce this same issue. However, I had to delete my web browser's cache first; otherwise, I would continue to see the old cached images in the respective cards.

If you don't reboot and delete the web browser cache, then add the integration through config_flow, your cards will most likely continue displaying your old images from before. You will need to do this every time you switch between SSL and no SSL configurations for this integration.

This is what I did to reproduce it.

1. Delete existing device and respective sensors from the Integration
2. Reboot
3. Used the below configuration to add default sensors:
   
4. Immediately afterwards, I noticed all the fanart was STILL being displayed in my existing cards. I knew there was a chance I was looking at old cached images. After I deleted the web browser cache, immediately afterwards none of the images were being displayed anymore:
   

Please note that debugging is enabled for the plex integration. However, the integration is not generating any errors. not even warnings; well except for: 2024-05-23 17:16:28.052 WARNING (MainThread) [custom_components.hacs] You have 'custom-components/sensor.plex_recently_added' installed with HACS this repository has been removed from HACS, please consider removing it. Removal reason (Repository is archived)

[Makhuta]

I most likely found the solution for this issue and already posted pull request here

PS. I was able to replicate the problem just like @mkanet said so the fix should work

Edit: Nevermind it is not gonna work I need to change it in a different way
Edit 2: Tried new thing hopefully it will work now. Now I tested it even outside my network. The reason that the previous one was wrong was because I forgot about security when using unknown certificate (in this situation none) now it should "redistribute" the response gotten from the plex (poster/fanart) as if it was natively on HA

[mkanet]

@XalaTheShepard @pbaart we just pushed version 0.4.4 which includes the fix for this. I just confirmed that it does resolve the issue on my setup. You should receive a HACS notification to tell you there is a new version.
Please let us know how it goes.

[XalaTheShepard]

Dear Mkanet, I have just updated to the latest version and can confirm that it now works as expected. Many thanks and enjoy your weekend. Kind regards, Robin

[mkanet]

@XalaTheShepard we should thank you. If you hadn't reported this issue, this issue would remain broken.

[loryanstrant]

Woohoo! Thank you!

[mkanet]

@Makhuta, I've been meaning to ask you... Can you tell me your email address? I wanted to ask you something unrelated to issue; however, related to this integration. Or you can send me a quick email so I can have yours too. Mine is: mkanet at yahoo dot com.
