AttributeError: 'MovieSection' object has no attribute 'ALLOWED_FILTERS'

[PearsonFlyer]

I'm getting this error since the last PlexAPI update. I can't figure out how to solve it. It was not throwing an error prior to that. I have no playlists. Windows 10 install, Plex on the same box. Is this due to the new Plex movie agent being selected?

Have you tried downgrading to a lower version of plexapi?

@timmehtimtims that worked for me thanks!
I used this cl pip install PlexAPI==4.1.2 as I'm still on legacy.

EDIT: I solved it, I needed to install libffi in order to install PlexAPI. working now.

======================

I'm running plex inside a container on linux, any idea how I can apply this fix?
