Update component in HACS: Startup blocking main thread issue.

[mcattle]

Describe the Bug
The current version of the component is 0.4.8, but HACS only has 0.3.9. I'm hoping the error I'm getting with 0.3.9 startup has been addressed in 0.4.8.

The Error

Indicate if you followed all steps in the troubleshooting doc
Yes

What data does the sensor display if any?
All data is displayed, the startup error just indicates a blocking call on the main thread, which slows down startup.

Home Assistant Version
2024.12.3

Hi @mcattle, it sounds like there may be something stuck/broken in your Home Assistant instance interfering with this integration from operating normally. The easiest way prevent this issue would be to restore Home Assistant from backup prior to installing this integration and install the integration cleanly.

If that's not possible, please delete the integration from Home Assistant's GUI:

Then, manually delete /config/custom_components/plex_recently_added folder and all it's contents. After manually removing the integration files and respective folder, restart Home Assistant; and, install the integration again.

[mcattle]

Following these steps, HACS is still only showing 0.3.9 as the only downloadable version.

Issue found. The version coming up in my HACS is an outdated fork at https://github.com/NemesisRE/sensor.plex_recently_added. Adding your repo to the HACS custom repos allowed me to download the correct version.

[mcattle]

Following the install of the correct repository and version, I'm now only getting this message on startup (which I just set to ignore):

2024-12-16 15:57:56.080 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)

Glad you figured it out. I've been waiting nearly a year for the HACS moderators to approve the original UMC and its original integrations back to HACS. It's a bit hard to believe they are nearly 1 year behind!

It will be much easier once its all builtin to HACS again.

Going to close this issue. Stay tuned!
