Known Issues

• General

  • First time the Channel runs (this means ever, not every time it starts just the first time) you need to wait about 20-30 seconds for the headers to be set.
  • If the headers are not set before Plex Framework tries to scrape the site then an error message will popup saying you need to wait until the headers are set.
  • Kissasian.com (Drama) has a very short cache time for its cookies, about 30-45 minutes. This can bog down the Search function since it will have to re-cache every the Drama section every 30 minutes. You should notice a 5 second delay if it is re-caching the Drama section (or any sites).
  • Bookmark storage changed from version 0.02 to 0.03 so you will have to delete the Dict file located within the Plug-in Support directory before using Bookmarks in version 0.03.

• Kiss(anime, asian, cartoon) are all hosted behind Cloudflare so added a modified version of cloudflare-scrape as a work around

  • Cover art does not load for Videos
    
    
    • Plex Framework does not allow me to set headers for directory object thumbs, still looking into this issue
    • I have added a local caching option for video bookmarks to work around cloudflare

• Chromecast does not work for Photo Albums but does for Videos, don't know why yet. Assuming it has to do with how the Photo Albums are created.

• Kissmanga

  • For now Kissmanga is not behind the anit-bot rules, so it works
  • Sometimes the Cover Image do not display in the directory even though it has the image URL.
  • This is not a useful reader for the Plex/Web client, but works reasonably well for Smart phones and Plex Media Center/Home Theater.

• Plex Home Theater

  • Channel exits when adding/removing bookmarks. Has to do with pop up messages.

Plans

• General

  • Add preference to display Sub, Dub, or Sub & Dub for videos (those without the label would still be displayed)
    
    
    • add language for videos that can be (i.e. English, Japanese... etc.)
  • Might look into grouping seasons of the same show for the directory list
  • Try and display cover art for video items. Not a thumb of the video, kiss sites don't include that data.
  • Implement some kind of Password protection for choosing which sites to display
  • May separate out TV and Movies for video sections
  • May move Sorting Preferences out and make it into directories instead, or maybe make it an option

• Bookmarks

  • Add option to add all seasons at once for a show
  • Group seasons into one show
  • Create separate directories for TV and Movies
