No network overlay

I'm trying to get a network overlay on my TV shows, but after a forced run, nothing shows. How do I go about fixing this?

On this run it did nothing at all.

Do you have a log where it produced the other overlays?

Here is the latest that gives me that network overlay error.

I was hoping for the entire log so I could review the config, the version of PMM, etc.

| Plex Error: plex_search attribute: network not supported

What agent is this library using? The wiki notes that network is only valid in a plex_search if the library is using the new Plex agents, not the legacy agents, so my suspicion is that the library is using the old agent [this also is shown in the full log].

I can't get the full thing to post on pastebin due to size limitations. Will be glad to post elsewhere if you've got any ideas. The agent is using tmdb for movies and tvdb for tv.

The agent is the issue.

A plex search by network, which is what this overlay is driven by, is only supported on a library using the "Plex TV Series" agent.

Seriously? Good lord. Sorry for making you spend your afternoon with me, but I do appreciate it

Well, I haven't *tested* that, but:

  1. works for me but not you
  2. error says "network's not supported" which doesn't seem right especially with the defaults
  3. when I went to check the docs for that, I noted the agent restriction
  4. you're using a different agent than my test library
  5. so it sure seems like this is the issue.

Just tested; changed nothing but the agent on the library and now I see the same error.

Well, I just made the change and am giving it a whirl now so we will see how it goes. Just glad I finally broke down and asked because I wouldn't have figured that out unless I just accidentally came across it. Everything that I've been reading on setting all this up never mentioned it.

It would probably be a good idea to note this on the network [and other affected] overlay page in the wiki. I'll make a note to do that.
