NoScript 2.6.8.20 Breaks Plex Web App?

[Bleakassassin]

I couldn't help but notice that I'm unable to access my Plex server via the Plex Web App anymore. I've been able to just fine with NoScript enabled until the 2.6.8.20 update. Whenever I try to load it, all I get is an error message stating that the server can't be accessed. This happens even if I enable scripts globally. However, if I disable NoScript, the server will work as normal.

I would have asked this at the Plex forums, but I figured that it would be more applicable here. Is there some setting in NoScript that I need to alter now to get Plex to work right, or is this an issue with the new version?

Anything related noted in the Error Console?

Sorry, I didn't see that part of the requirements when I skimmed through the "Read this first" for the forum. Now that you mention it, there's a lot of blue messages that pop up as the page loads:

Hold on, ignore that. That console stuff is relevant whether or not NoScript is enabled. Here's the relevant part (edited to remove personal information):

Code: Select all

"Primary server is waiting for servers to populate" plex.js:699
"%cTesting connection to (my media center) at http://(ip address)/" "color: blue;" plex.js:699
"%cTesting connection to (my media center) at http://(pc's ip address):32400/" "color: blue;" plex.js:699
"%cTesting connection to Cloud at https://plex.tv/pms/:/ip" "color: blue;" plex.js:699

"Secondary servers requested through https://plex.tv/" plex.js:699
"Resolving servers promise, available servers = 1" plex.js:699
"%cNo primary server" "color: #ff6600;"

When it works, it looks like this:

Hmmm, I wonder if you're running into ABE here...
Does it work if you go
NoScript menu -> Options -> Advanced -> ABE -> un-check "Enable ABE"?

If so, assuming "ip address" and "pc's ip address" are both local, re-enable ABE and try adding at the very beginning of SYSTEM rules

Code: Select all

Site ip-address:64062 pc's-ip-address:32400 127.0.0.1:32400
Accept from https://plex.tv/

(just a wild guess... since you didn't post the actual message from NoScript, no guarantees that will work - but if disabling ABE fixes it you probably need something at least similar to that)

If not, can you turn off CSS warnings in the browser console, try again with NS enabled, watch it fail, and check the browser console for related messages again? (may not be different, but just in case)

That did it! Thanks so much for the advice. I hope others using both NoScript and Plex will figure out to do this to avoid a world of hurt.

In that case could you please post here *exactly* what steps worked for you, so that those others can reference it? As I said, I was just making wild but educated guess without having the proper information. I have no idea what about my post helped you.
