Separating Plex Media Server from Storage
Autoscan Docker - This connects to Radarr and Sonarr and sends a message to Plex to update individual shows/movies
-
Who has a NAS but PMS on another device?
Autoscan - Because plex wont be on the file server anymore I had a problem with partial updates. It cant see when they are made. Autoscan connects to your downloader (Sonarr, Radarr) and tells plex to update when needed.
- Exclude libraries from scheduled scans (not manual scans)

Ideas for improving speed of scanning
AutoScan - If you use radarr or sonarr this creates an artificial Partial Scan. It will only scan stuff updated by those programs instead of a full scan

Playlists need to be improved.
Oh shit! I never even bothered to look because I asked a long time ago and was given and emphatic no. It looks like there is a playlist class. So I'll have to play with that and see what it can do.

Automating Plexamp: Play a random album from a collection (details in a comment)
I wanted a way to pick a random album from a collection and tell the Plexamp client connected to my speakers to play it. I wrote a detailed post about a simple way and a fancy way to do this using the unofficial Python Plex library.

Is there a scan feature like the way car radios work?
There's no in the box option for that, but you can easily make something that can do it with things like the python plex api. Get random movie, send play command with offset for some random point. Sleep some random amount of time. Send a stop command and repeat the previous steps.

Plex playlist content to watchlist in bulk
You should look into the python PlexAPI wrapper library. Here is an equivalent script using PlexAPI.

Network activity keeps PC Awake
I am not sure if there is an official way most people do this, but I think the best bet would be to use data directly from plex - https://python-plexapi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/modules/server.html#plexapi.server.PlexServer.sessions to loop through every so often and get a list of current sessions (currently playing media). Once that goes empty start a timer for shutdown. If a session starts again end the shutdown, you could even look at to see if something is "paused" and have a different shutdown time for paused vs nothing playing if you really wanted.
