Failing to validate Plex server using- URL: http://host.docker.internal:32400/ -which works in my current config file.

[PopeScooby]

I have copied and pasted the data for Plex URL and and Token from the config file I used when setting up Kometa and that I know works. I re-ran it before posting just to confirm. The Plex URL I am using is http://host.docker.internal:32400/. I have a feeling this is somehow the issue as it took me a while to get one that worked in Kometa having first tried http://127.0.0.1:32400, which also doesn't work here. Any advice would be appreciated.

You need to run QuickStart from the same machine that runs Kometa....

Ok, I started over without docker ( I had never used it before) and just went with command line, re-cloned kometa in a new location and created a working config file. Then I re-cloned quickstart into the same base location. C:\Users\Username\Documents\GitHub\Kometa and C:\Users\Username\Documents\GitHub\Quickstart. I have Kometa activated in a virtual environment, and i ran quickstart.py from within that same virtual environment. By switching to command line the URL http://127.0.0.1:32400/ now works for kometa, so I used that here, as well as the same token I am using in my working kometa config file. the web interface is saying "Failed to validate Plex server. Please check your URL and Token." Command prompt is saying "ERROR:quickstart:Error validating Plex server: Invalid setting id: databaseCacheSize"

• I have also tried http://localhost:32400/

That URL is pointing at an internal Docker-supplied hostname that refers to the machine on which docker is running. It's a way to connect to the host from inside a docker container. If Quickstart is not running in a container right next to Kometa, it will not be able to resolve or connect to that URL.

sorry.

I'm on the discord now.

Have you joined the Kometa server on Discord as PopeScooby?

[bullmoose20]

sorry.

What the screenshot tells me is that the machine currently running QuickStart is trying to talk to a plex server on the same machine....

I am pretty sure that plex is not running on that machine but I could be wrong

I pinged you yesterday from our Discord server however I did not see a reply. Not sure if you still need assistance?
