CLI Help - Edit metadata for movie
No connection string necessary, you just have to open com.plexapp.plugins.library.db, which is in the 'Plug-in Support/Databases' folder inside your data directory. Though depending on the context of your original question, it may be easier to just use the web api. Based on the request the web app makes, it will be something like PUT [host]:[port]/library/sections/[section]/all?type=[type]&id=[metadata_id]&summary.value=[url encoded summary]&summary.locked=1&X-Plex-Token=[token]. Not sure if type is needed, but if it is, you can find the values here.

Custom Agents?
If you want to connect to the API then look for projects like python-plexAPI or the plex-api wiki maybe even the Plex-Meta-Manager can give you pointers on how to get metadata from the outside into plex because that is what it actually does.

Headless plex client on raspberry pi zero 2 with hardware buttons

I made Physical Plex Player Controller
I was able to utilize the HTTP Request component to send control commands to a plex player (macOS Plex Player) using the Plex API. This allows me to directly control the volume, playback and track with two momentary buttons (volume up and down) and a 3-way toggle switch (pause, play, next track). I've published my yaml file to github. The script in the yaml needs to be populated with the server IP address and the 'X-Plex-Target-Client-Identifier' which is the ID of the player being controlled. To find this ID, navigate to http://server_IP_address:32400/clients in the browser, look for the 'machineIdentifier' value of the player to be controlled. Copy that value to the script in ESPHome. Not every player can be controlled, the 'protocolCapabilities' value indicates to what extent each player can be controlled.

Share/exclude label
Where {section} is the library section, {type} is the media type, and {id} is the item's metadata id. The [ and ] also have to be urlencoded, so a full request might look something like this:

Can you program Plex Plugins yourself?
For example, the plex web API can show you which endpoints to hit to do certain things.

What are y'all's favorite things about using PLEX over other streaming platforms?
I like how you can use things like the web api and the python plex api to make things to do anything you can think of.

Any working google assistant methods for playing plex?
Are you capable of doing simpleish programming? If so, the there is always the google home API + the plex api and creating you're own skill to do it. If you're looking for something ready made then phlex is the only option I'm aware of on that front. The custom skill way is a good way to learn some basic programming and also how to create google/alexa skills if you have to go that route.

Plex folks, any plans for enabling the ability to edit metadata on your mobile apps?
There's no official documentation, but yes. There is some unofficial documentation here, and as an example, the following would change the title (and lock the field) of the item with a metadata id of 365480 in the library with a section ID of 3:

Controlling 4k access based on location
Maybe not with stock Plex, but Tautulli with the JBOPS scripts should be able to do it.

Tautulli kill script failing to terminate session
I've been running the killscript to stop 4K transcodes for years, and I've just noticed that it doesn't work any longer. When it's triggered, I get the following error in Tautulli logs:

Help with limiterr.py (Tautulli)
I am attempting to limit stream auto play at night and I found this limiterr python script was the only option that seems to be available running on tautuilli.(https://github.com/blacktwin/JBOPS/blob/master/killstream/limiterr.py).

There's has to be a better system to just change the default remote streaming video setting to automatically use what the server is configured for rather than it being defaulted to 720p on a new client.
I recommend using Tautulli and this https://github.com/blacktwin/JBOPS/tree/master/killstream to automatically kill streams. Also configure it to reference https://mediaclients.wiki whenever it kills the stream so users know how to fix it.

Any way to use thetvdb's "joined order" or "alternate order" in plex?
What about this script https://github.com/blacktwin/JBOPS/blob/master/utility/merge_multiepisodes.py

Best programs to use alongside Plex?
Tautulli for monitoring and notifications, plus some scripts for "maintenance," such as killing 4K transcodes and stopping remote streams after they've been paused for X minutes. These are from the JBOPS repository.

/r/Plex's Moronic Mondays' No Stupid Questions Thread - 2023-04-24
Unless someone has already created what you're looking for (JBOPS/reporting is a good initial place to look), you'll probably have to write something yourself that makes calls to Tautulli's API.
