Over xmas I got my dad set up with a roku so he could use my Plex server but he was having a hard time browsing my movies by genre which just wasn’t possible unless your using the desktop/web app. (we were just dumb and looking under the wrong drop down, however I still believe the collections view is nicer. Comparison Video)
So I thought it would be better if everything was added to genre collections. Having genre collections makes it much easier and quicker to browse by genre.
Plex also handles anime genres very poorly, often only putting them into 2 genres where “animation” is one of them.

I wrote this fairly fast last night so the code isn’t the cleanest and I’ll likely clean it up a bit in the future. It only took ~15 minutes for it to add my 949 movies to genre collections.
Edit: Seen a couple questions about where to put this script or if it can be run on Windows.
My inet is down but NBD since I have Plex…unless using it means I need internet?
We hope everyone had a wonderful New Year’s celebration!

Here’s my current setup:
Indexers > NZBHydra 2 > Sonarr/Radarr <–> Sabnzbd with Sonarr and Radarr feeding into Plex (which is not open to the outside wold).
Since my entire setup is running locally (and only meant to run locally) so I need SSL on NZBHydra, Sonarr/Radarr? Obviously I’m using SSL for the Sabnzbd downloads and I assume the incoming links for indexers to NZBHydra are also encrypted. Thanks!
Finally played with custom formats and the point system. Have to say it’s absolutely worth configuring.
Custom Formats allow you to extract additional information about releases and automate the decision process to not only grab releases with better attributes but also avoid grabbing or outright reject releases that are not up to standard.
Few examples to prefer or reject (based on points you assign to each custom format (positive or negative numbers))
TRaSH has a great guide on premade formats which you can import: https://trash-guides.info/Radarr/V3/Collection-of-Custom-Formats-for-RadarrV3/
Here are some screenshots of the setup in radarr v3: https://imgur.com/a/0UYHleh
Just wanted to share as I’m sure a few would find it useful.
Happy new years and stay safe!
Hello all,
So I did a thing and used mdblist to create lists for anime and cartoons that I wanted to share. Feel free to use if you’d like. It’s updated automatically every 6 hours.

And if there are any other lists you’d like to see let me know!
