  • How have you Cord Cutters replaced your "Netlix style" feed/recommendations?

    If you know basic python. You can use this script someone made that will pull playlists from trakt and IMDb right into Plex. I modified it a little so instead of making a playlist it adds a tag. Then I make a smart collection that I add to Plex home. It includes any movies (in Plex) that are in the top 50 IMDb most popular and top 50 most watched on trakt. It works well for me https://github.com/pbrink231/plex_top_playlists
  • Good recommendations service for trakt? (like couchmoney)

    This is extra, but I also then use this https://github.com/pbrink231/plex_top_playlists to pull that new recommended list from trakt (that was pulled from couchmoney.tv) back to plex. So plex remains my front end where I keep my library and see my playlists and recommendations.
