Hi there, First off, thank you for developing this. I am trying to use this with my MUX account and have uncovered a couple of issues. First off, my localhost install (I am developing a custom theme) was allowing me to upload videos fine, but the Asset list is always empty so I cannot preview or embed them. The error log is recording this error: [11-Jun-2024 13:18:08 UTC] Error displaying assetUndefined array key “muxvideo_signing_data”[11-Jun-2024 13:18:55 UTC] Exception when calling muxvideo_get_data_playback_restrictions: Undefined array key 0 Always one to persevere, I installed the plugin on staging website, this crashed the website and gave this error when I tried to connect my MUX account: When seeking help with this issue, you may be asked for some of the following information:WordPress version 6.5.4Active theme: Custom Theme (version 1.0.0)Current plugin: 2Coders integration for Mux Video (version 1.0.3)PHP version 8.1.28Error Details=============An error of type E_ERROR was caused in line 138 of the file /home/public_html/app/plugins/2coders-integration-mux-video/includes/functions.php.
