Plex-Meta-Manager VS searcharr

Download everything from my repo and from PMM repo

Another option would be to use the Plex-Meta-Manager to have a "recipe" to then inject metadata directly into Plex. How specifically that works with text-based metadata I can't really tell you, I mainly used it for Posters and Collections.

Plex-Meta-Manager: Handles collections and metadata for Plex.

Plex Meta Manager (GitHub) for some automated library organization. This one has been a long process. It's a steep learning curve when you're first starting out, but my suggestion is to pick ONE feature and start there. That is, "I want a collection of the IMDb Top 250 Movies" and learn how to implement that, then move on to another feature you want to add. Currently, I have overlays for streaming services, audio quality, and video quality, plus collections for IMDb, award winners, filmmakers, actors, and production companies.

PMM and trakt/imdb lists for me:

I guess most people already recommended plex wrapperr, tautulli, and plex-meta-manager. If you want to host your own budget software, there is firefly iii. Calibre with calibre-web is nice for organizing e-books, imo. I also like OpenProject for organizing projects, like stuff from work or renovating a room.

Plex-Meta-Manager: (Automatic collections and metadata)

This was accomplished using Plex-Meta-Manager, which I'm running with docker.

I also run a telegram bot on my Synology NAS. It’s a docker container, and since it doesn’t need inbound connections, there is no network setup involved. The bot I’m running is searcharr and there are instructions in the readme and a docker-compose.yml file that may be helpful if you’re a docker newbie.

Searcharr?

If you want to enable debug logging and post your log, I can take a look. You can pm me the log here or on telegram (@toddrob). There is also a Searcharr Telegram group.

Searcharr is an open-source bot that allows users to add movies to Radarr and series to Sonarr through the Telegram messaging app. Searcharr utilizes inline keyboards to provide end users with a compact, user-friendly experience. If you are unfamiliar with Searcharr, you can find some screenshots in the GitHub repository.

I have to think more about how I want to integrate something like this into my ecosystem, and I'll probably end up writing something myself since I like things to be tailored to my needs (case-in-point: searcharr). One possibility is to continue running manually and have an interactive mode, listing each collection (along with the movies in that collection that I do and do not already have) and allowing me to decide whether to add or not. Another possibility is to build a web UI (always running, updating on a configured interval, maybe with notifications for new collections found) that will be populated with missing collection info and allow selecting/adding of individual lists as desired. I'm also thinking it might be worth exploring having a single list and adding movies to it rather than having a separate list for each collection; that may or may not be a good idea.

If you like telegram you can use Searcharr. https://github.com/toddrob99/searcharr
