Hey Everyone!
​
I wanted to share something I’ve been working on to try and improve the Plex Developer Experience.
Here is Plex-Docs
It is an open source docusaurus website with API documentation generated from an OpenAPI Specification.
​
I’m very excited to share this with everyone, I hope someone finds this useful, and I will continue adding everything I can to improve the documentation further.
An announcement detailing things further can be found here.
A big thank you to Elan, the CTO at Plex for sharing some markdown files that have given me a very solid starting point to begin writing the specification, and a pretty great picture of how some of the endpoints operate.
​
Thanks everyone, be good people.
With 100-200 movies per year being released and a deep backlog of movies (6k+) in my home library, I just realized I’ll never come close to watching all of the movies on my server. I do take solace knowing that there are some movies I was never interested in watching that I eventually changed my mind on and loved later on. What is your strategy/approach to deciding what to watch? Are you ok with not having one?
Hiya,
Will be doing some major updates to our code and upgrade some software sometime this week.
I’m still finishing up the last things so I might put the site in maintenance mode today already, otherwise sometime in the next few days.
So don’t go nuts when there’s a maintenance page for a few hours :-)
[EDIT]
(13:00 GMT) Doing it now.
(14:40 GMT) Done
There is an issue related to releases having no name on site. I am looking into cause of it as there have been some major changes in code that could be the main factor in this strange behaviour.
Just be patient, it will be all solved. Thank you!
​
Update: Most of the important issues have been fixed, there are still some minor ones that need our attention.
My newshosting subscription is about to expire and I’m looking at other options. They have gotten really expensive.
Anyone have a replacement recommendation that can handle 10g download? I was getting 4g down from NH so as close to 10 would be great.
TIA.
tl;dr at bottom under the line
So, only just recently got into usenet (within a month or two ago). Everything is basically on defaults, using NZBGet, Sonarr, Radarr, and Jackett to grab stuff to put onto a Plex server. Only have an account with Newshosting at the moment.
Last Saturday I woke up to the nice signs of my PC being used as a cryptomining station. After scanning everything with … I think 5 different scanners, putting some security measures into place I should have been using the whole time on the PC, and installing and paying for Kaspersky, every scan now comes up clean… except for there’s still one problem.
Kaspersky keeps blocking an attempt to use my powershell.exe to connect to a specific IP and download some .bat files, which, I noticed before, is how the mining software got on my PC in the first place.
So yesterday, around noon, after feeling pretty confident I got everything dealt with (even got some help at BleepingComputers to make sure), the …
I created this PowerShell script to be executed on the download event after downloading and doing an import, it marks the movie as unmonitored. I added this script because I found Radarr looking for stuff even though in my opinion cutoff was met. I unmonitor based on release group that I wanted and it should be x265.
Just adding it here incase anyone else wanted to use it, you can find the script here on GitHub. Please edit it to suit which term you would like to look for.
I (and my users) have a tendency to request multi season shows then never watch them.
Wondering if anyone is aware of a script out there that will monitor Plex for watch history/usage and the tell sonarr to set the next season to monitored and start a search once a certain threshold is watched in the season?
An example would be that once season 1 of a show is 50% watched by any user, set season 2 to download.
If not, is such a thing possible? I’m willing to write something, if the APIs would allow such a level of interaction. It’s the Plex side of things I’m not sure if it’s possible/what the most efficient method is to consistently check watch history.
I’ve noticed this for a few different movies now. Here’s a scenario.
I find a movie in Radarr, but the movie doesn’t include a date, or perhaps has an incorrect title. So I drop a note to a young friend who makes corrections in TMDB. The problem is that those corrections don’t usually ever show up in Radarr.
As a specific example, a couple of days ago, the title of the movie “More Winners: The Master’s Ghost” was changed to “More Winners: His Master’s Ghost”. Okay, not a major change, but I can’t get the change to update in Radarr. Refresh and Scan doesn’t do it.
I’ve even deleted the movie and searched for it anew. It still shows up with the old name. Trakt, Letterboxd, and Movie Chat have all updated with the new name. Is there a way to get Radarr to update the name?
