Unauthorized error

I was wondering if you had some suggestion on how I can figure out this error message I see after spawning the tivohmo Server (I haven't modified any of the settings in /etc/tivohmo.yml}:

.163 is the TiVo Roamio, 242 is my Plex Server that I am running tivohmo executable on.

On a side note, I just had to spawn the executable after I setuid on the executable since I didn't have a /etc/init.d/tivohmo service script, the service call fails.

Looks like it is failing when trying to talk to the plex server - do you have "Require authentication on local networks" checked in Plex Server Settings -> Connect -> Advanced ? If so, try unchecking it.

Note that right now there is a limitation that you have to run tivohmo on the same machine as the plex server.

Running "tivohmo --install" should create a /etc/init/tivohmo.conf file for you, did it not? Note that /etc/init not /etc/init.d - I'm assuming ubuntu/upstart, maybe I should add a check for other linuxes.

The setting is unchecked. I am running this on the same host as the Plex Server. I will go do some reading to see if I can figure this out. Thanks for the suggestions.

Ok, the --install step isn't strictly necessary - I was just trying to make things easy for users. You can run the executable directly and just point it at a config file, or even forgo the config file all together:

tivohmo --debug -p 9034 -a TivoHMO::Adapters::Plex::Application -i localhost -t "My Plex"

Note that I develop and test against latest ruby 2.1.x, but it should work with any ruby > 2.0 - try "ruby -v" to see what you have installed.

Thanks. I have ruby v2.0 installed. When i tried the latest ruby that version had a build error. Will give your startup command a try when I get home tonight.

I noticed that too - I've fixed the build for ruby 2.1/2.2/head. All my tests pass on 2.0.0 as well, but no guarantees :)

Running the command line execution results in the same messages. Output of ruby -v, in case you were wondering:

ruby -v
ruby 2.0.0p643 (2015-02-25 revision 49749) [x86_64-linux]

I am going to chalk this up as operator error on my part. I will give this a shot after I figure out why I cannot move to the latest ruby. Thanks for taking the time to help. I will get back if I make any breakthrough.

One other thing you could try, on the command line, use "-i 127.0.0.1" or "-i your_host_name" instead of "-i localhost" - maybe something in your network configuration is blocking that port using the localhost address. You can also be explicit about the plex port in case you are on a different one, i.e. "-i localhost:32400"

I started getting something similar to this after setting up multiple plex users (some requiring a pin). I just released v0.3.2 which adds a config option for the plex auth_token needed when this is the case. Give this a shot and see if it fixes your issue.
