Plex is not working

Plex stream does not load. App auto detects local instance of Plex server. I click, select video, and it just spins and never connects. And yes... plex server is up and functional.

changed milestone to %3.2.0

added 1 deleted label

I tested with the latest commits of the master branch and it works for me on two local server. My plex account is alredy register in File Servers (just selected plex enter username and password, then save) App auto detects local instance of Plex server. I click, select video, and the video starting. it would not be a network problem ? more information ?

I believe it's related to this crash :

SIGABRT: *** -[__NSDictionaryM setObject:forKey:]: object cannot be nil (key: token)

I dont understand realy these reports of crash, but the authentication on the server seems to work and it seems crash at the time of get the contents of the server ... I do not have too much idea. it's the only crash or there is more ?

We might want to double check all the network parsing related code using a mutable dictionary.

For example checking for thread safety since NSMutableDictionary aren’t.

This crash might be related: https://pastebin.com/hh2msaPN

changed milestone to %3.2.1

changed milestone to %3.2.2

changed milestone to %3.4.0

The crash has been fixed by !103 (merged)
It occured on login errors, the parsing returned nil instead of empty string.

I am not sure about the video stuck on loading indicator though. I will investigate.

changed milestone to %3.2.5

I can play videos on my plex server. The video never gets stuck on loading.

Feel free te reopen this issue if needed.
