How to: Plex Tiles!

I think i'm pretty close to getting this to work... What does the 8660 in the php file represent on this line:
$host = "http://domain.com:8660"

The :8660 represents the port that Tautulli is running on, this can be configured in Tautulli settings.  I don't recall what the default is.

That is the url/default port of Tautulli.

STILL AT IT... So, I have edited the first few (HIGHLIGHTED) lines of the php file to the following information which I believe is what the instructions shows, but I'm still unable to pull up any images in the AT using the media tiles into a Panel specifically for the Plex Posters.

This screenshot is the page result when I go to: http://mypublicipaddress/recently_played.php?section=16

Is there an issue with anything I have edited or is there something wrong with the php file?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

At first glance I would think you need to enable short tags in your php.ini, or just replace <?php to the start of the file.

Did you var_dump some value to make sure php is actually processing the file?

My only other guess is you need to chmod the file to make sure your server has rights to it.

I too am having this same issue....

I dont have a ton of knowledge with PHP though so I could be failing somewhere else. 

I am getting these errors...

You need to add the IP address/URL and your API key.

I omitted them from the screenshot

Did you enable API in settings -> web interface?  It's all the way at the bottom.

I was able to get mine to pull the latest played poster from each section. How do I change it to show the last 3, 5, 10, etc?

Also, how do I change the PHP file to allow me to pull Recently Added, Most Popular, etc? Now Playing would be nice to have as well -- is this possible?

I assume the trick is editing this section of the code, but I'm not sure which parameters need to be input.

      $jsonurl = $host . '/api/v2?apikey=' . $api_key . '&cmd=get_history&length=1§ion_id='. $_GET

Thanks!!

You could add another index value that you pass in to the file to show the image you want.

If I recall correctly, you can update:

$img = $json->response->data->data[0]->thumb;

to:

$img = $json->response->data->data[$_GET['index']]->thumb;

Then the URL you put into the media tile would be:

/recently_played.php?section=X&index=1

So of you wanted to show the last 5 entries, the media tiles would be:

/recently_played.php?section=X&index=1

/recently_played.php?section=X&index=2

/recently_played.php?section=X&index=3

/recently_played.php?section=X&index=4

/recently_played.php?section=X&index=5

"Recently Added" is a bit tricky with TV posters but that endpoint is:

cmd=get_recently_added&count=1section_id=". $_GET['section']

"Most Popular" can be used by updating the cmd to:

cmd=get_home_stats&time_range=". $range;

$range = # of days of history for instance last 14 days, 30 days ETC.

I don't know if now playing is shown in history but all the other endpoints are outlined:

I'd love to get this to work, I've got no knowledge of PHP what so ever thou. 

I do have a IIS running on my Windows Server, can I use PHP for IIS to run this?

I'm not familiar with PHP for IIS but it's basic PHP so you shouldn't have any problems.

Ok I'm just getting lost now... lol

I thought I did it... Then first attempt gives 

So I changed the start to <?php (as per your comment below) and then it creates an image file but totally blank...

Any idea where I'm going wrong? Really wanna be able to add this to my Actiontiles. But just struggling. Any help would be much appreciated.

I've put my recently_played.php file below...

Add http:// to your $host var.

Fore easy debugging add:

var_dump($var_name);

exit;

After every line to verify the results then test from there.

example:

$jsonurl = $host . '/api/v2?apikey=' . $api_key . '&cmd=get_history&length=1§ion_id='. $_GET['section'];

var_dump($jsonurl);

exit;

That should show a valid URL, you can also use post man or the browser to verify.  Repeat that process after each line to make sure you get the expected results.

Ok, so I added the http:// and the vardump and I'm getting a NULL response now in the browser.. Not sure how I've messed it up so early. Defo right info from Tautulli so not sure where I'm going wrong...

Obvs have removed my api key for posting online. lol
