create_wait_kill_all.py creates a new file with the session_id (sub_script) as it's name.
PlexPy will timeout create_wait_kill_all.py after 30 seconds (default) but sub_script.py will continue.
sub_script will check if the stream's session_id is still pause or if playing as restarted.
If playback is restarted then sub_script will stop and delete itself.
If stream remains paused then it will be killed and sub_script will stop and delete itself.
Set TIMEOUT to max time before killing stream
Set INTERVAL to how often you want to check the stream status

So since I saw the repeated script timeouts, I doubled the timeout, so 60 seconds, and it's still happening (this was a manual run with the session key):

2017-06-27 18:31:26 WARNING PlexPy Notifiers :: Script exceeded timeout limit of 60 seconds. Script killed.

Despite that, I see the following message:

2017-06-27 18:32:30 DEBUG PlexPy Notifiers :: Script returned:
Killing tronyx's stream of The Pink Panther Strikes Again

I saw the temp Python script get removed from the dir where I'm keeping the scripts, but the stream remains paused and I did not see any message get displayed. Then, upon checking the logs again, I saw this message:

2017-06-27 18:34:21 ERROR PlexPy Notifiers :: Script error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "jcmrqzde2439p4zsi90tgzta.py", line 12, in
WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified: 'jcmrqzde2439p4zsi90tgzta.py'

Seems like it deleted the temp script too soon? That being said, it's the first and only time I'm seeing that in the logs.

Ran the script test again, using the same session key as the stream was still open, I see the temp script get created, I see the script timeout message in the logs again, ~3 minutes later I see it wanting to kill the stream, I see the temp script get removed the dir

Here are the logs for this 2nd test run:

2017-06-27 18:36:19 DEBUG Sending test Scripts notification.
2017-06-27 18:36:19 DEBUG PlexPy Notifiers :: Trying to run notify script, action: test, arguments: 45

2017-06-27 18:40:15 DEBUG PlexPy Notifiers :: Script returned:

This time I waited another 10 minutes and didn't see any additional log entries, IE: the one regarding the missing temp script, and the stream remained actively paused.

@christronyxyocum The script timeout in PlexPy is unrelated as you've found out. The whole reason for creating the sub-script is to bypass PlexPy's timeout. Do you have the latest version of this script? I've been updating it for the past couple days. If you want to try and run it manually insert this into line 152

print([x['sessionKey'] for x in response['MediaContainer']['Video'] if x['Player']['state'] == 'paused'])

then just run the script create_wait_kill_all.py and the sessionkey will show up followed by an error that there was no argument. Then create_wait_kill_all.py {sessionkey} to try and kill that paused stream. At least thats how I was testing it.

Haven't had a chance to test the line you provided above, but the most recent rev of the script seems to be trying to kill paused streams in just a few minutes. Users asked me about a message the received in regards to killing their stream, but the stream never died. I have the TIMEOUT set to 60 and the interval set to 10. Is this minutes or seconds? I assume minutes, but I could be wrong. Regardless, still doesn't seem to kill the stream, but is sending the message to users.

@christronyxyocum huh? If they are seeing the message then the stream was killed or at least that's how it should work. Interval and Timeout vars are seconds not minutes.

tronyx commented Jun 29, 2017

I know it sounds crazy, but it's true. Maybe it's because I had everything set as minutes and not seconds so it was really stepping on itself because it was happening so frequently. I'm going to try it out again tonight. For your test code, do I replace line 152 or push the existing code down on line and then paste in the above code?

tronyx commented Jun 29, 2017

Just had a successful test. Paused a stream, script set to check every 5 mins and term after 30. Message was displayed and stream was killed.

Sorry for being such a pain and thanks so much for all of your time and effort with this project and helping me.

I did, however, just find a bug; if the video name/title string has a single quote in it, it breaks the script and needs to be wrapped in double quotes instead. Here's an example:

PlexPy Notifiers :: Script error: File "s1i2c6d0s6o9xixstiozf8w4.py", line 11 x += kill_stream(sessionID, message, 300, n, 'Ichigokiwi', 'Salem - Wednesday's Child', '6') ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Here, the string is Salem - Wednesday's Child, so when it's wrapped in single quotes, the string only becomes Salem - Wednesday and it breaks because the rest of the title is now perceived as a command, I believe. Have to wrap the {title} variable in double quotes, at least with lines 162 & 163. I did this, tested it, and it works now.

@christronyxyocum i don't think that is possible.

Sorry, but that didn't fix the issue with titles that contain apostrophes. Temp script is still broken with a syntax error since you wind up with 'The Boy's Computer','20' for example.

Maybe a simple string.replace("'", "") would work? Never done anything in Python so don't know if it's possible to replace with "blank"..

@christronyxyocum You're using the most up-to-date version?

tronyx commented Jul 7, 2017

Yes, and it still doesn't do anything with the single quotes around the title that includes an apostrophe so it breaks the script. Here's a screenshot with it open in my editor so you can see it with syntax highlighting:

Imgur

Wrapping the title in double quotes seems to syntacically work, but I cannot figure out how to achieve that.

Edit: Ok, I believe I fixed it. Changed the double quotes to single quotes for lines 164 & 165, and then the single quotes around the three variables within those two lines to double quotes which results in the values of those three variables being wrapped in double quotes within the temp script.

Imgur

Result:

Imgur

No syntax error and I can see the temp script is still running in the background so I believe it is now working with titles that include an apostrophe.

Edit #2: It works.

Hello,

I just manually tested this script on a paused stream after it didn't trigger for my 5 minute timeout. I got the following error:

PlexPy Notifiers :: Script error: 
    Traceback (most recent call last): 
        File "/opt/plexpy/scripts/create_wait_kill_all.py", line 25, in 
            import requests 
    ImportError: No module named requests

Am I missing a prerequisite of some kind? This is the only plexpy script I've deployed.

My initial testing is working flawlessly on my unRAID server with Plex and Plexpy running in their own dockers.
Slack is currently setup to report concurrent streams from the same user and when users are streaming from a new device.
I was wondering if there was a way to have it send a message to my slack notification client upon killing a stream. This would be awesome.
Thanks for your great project!

@derailius You need to actually pass an argument for the script to work. Using the Test Script button will not work unless you know the session_key and enter it into the argument field in the Test Script section.

@blurb2m Yes you add that functionality. Check out this notify script for using PlexPy's send_notification call. Let me know if you need any help.

All please use the JBOPS repo for issues as gists don't ping me when you create a comment.
