Update to Python 3

Open pummra opened this issue 3 years ago • 7 comments

Tried setting this up again today on my WD Passport. Had a few issues as Python 2.7 isn’t supported any more. Managed to get the install running but it tries to install the latest PlexAPI package which requires a newer version of python.

I don’t know how big an effort it would be to make this work on the latest version of python?

It would be much easier to just install an older version of plex-api, sorry.

Can you try installing 3.1.0?

I did try it with 3.1.0 but still had a few issues come up on launch. Will try again.

I just realised — there's a manual on how you can install plexiglas to WD MyPassport Wireless :) https://github.com/andrey-yantsen/plexiglas/wiki/Running-from-WD-My-Passport-Wireless-Pro.

It's been a while since I used it last time.

I think that is what I followed last time, but it failed as PlexAPI required a newer version of Python than what is installed on WD MyPassport Wireless when following the instructions.

Yeah, I see.

I'll update the manual and all the scripts, but moving to Python 3 is unlikely, unfortunately. I wasn't been able to build it for WDMP the last time I tried.

Thanks for letting me know. It's been a while since I tried to get it up and running. Will give it another go when I get a chance to see if I can get it up and running again too. Think I got close last time from memory.

@pummra I just finished a fresh installation on my WDMP, after the recent commits everything went smoothly.
