plex-autocollections VS python-plexlibrary

Using plex auto-collections made by Alex Philips to later be added to your Plex Library.

You can create libraries for any category you like, and have them point to media in different directories. I separate 4K from 1080p to avoid other users using loads of bandwidth or CPU transcoding. You’ll need different instances of the arrs to achieve this. You can also use services like https://github.com/adamgot/python-plexlibrary to create custom libraries based on lists, which’s was popular about 1 year ago but https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager has come along way and made library customisation more integrative. Hope that helps. :)

I did some searching around because I joined the Plex Meta Manager Project Discord and my first idea was that maybe this could create playlists according to a configuration, which it currently cannot. But searching around the discord and I found this project which states:

It is a dynamic library that I created it ages ago using https://github.com/adamgot/python-plexlibrary. It's been good, however https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager/ is going to make the whole experience a lot better once they sort Smart Collections out. Just wish I could sort this issue out. It's very strange. Thanks for your help and ideas :)

if you are on an OS that supports it, take a look at https://github.com/adamgot/python-plexlibrary/tree/plex-movie-agent

I use https://github.com/adamgot/python-plexlibrary to manage my dynamic libraries which I can now feed into my homepage UI. EG: ‘Top Rated TV’ is referenced to my IMDB Top 250 library, and ‘Top Unplayed Movies’ to my ‘1001 Movies to watch before you die’ library, and ‘recently released movies’ to my movies trending library. It helps to make homepage recommendations more targeted and within my control... but you need more than 3 libraries to do it unfortunately, which w lot of folk don’t like, understandably.
