IPv6 Not properly support in settings.py (too many values to unpack)

[engelde]

Hello!

First off, thank you for the great project. I’ve been using it to randomly mix trailers and set them as preroll videos in Plex. Until recently, it has worked absolutely perfectly.

Unfortunately I’m now seeing the following error with plexapi.settings. Has something changed with Plex’s API that might cause this? I’m using python 3.7 and, for reference and just in case it helps, the code I am running can be found here: https://github.com/airship-david/Plex-Apple-Preroll-Trailers/blob/master/mix.py.

Let me know if I need to provide any additional info. I would definitely appreciate any ideas you might have. Thanks!

Just to follow up on this, the issue is related to the following line in settings.py (line 137) when you have “Enable server support for IPv6” checked in Plex. Unchecking that setting fixes the problem.

return {self._cast(k): v for k, v in [kv.split(':') for kv in enumstr.split('|')]}

I’m guessing that this is related to the extra colons in those addresses. I’ll see if I can figure out a workaround and submit a pull request.
