How have you Cord Cutters replaced your "Netlix style" feed/recommendations?
9 projects | /r/PleX | 31 Jul 2022

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.

Create a new library for Anime or keep within TV library?
2 projects | /r/PleX | 10 May 2023

I personally keep my anime separate and use ZeroQI/Hama.bundle.
I have a bunch of anime shows in a separate library "anime". I have a bunch of anime movies in my library "movies". I want to move the movies into the anime folders under specials. Best way to do that?
1 project | /r/PleX | 9 May 2023

I’m not really sure what is classified as a special. I have always just put the folders for anime shows and anime movies in the same library folder. Hama uses anidb for a lot of matching, so I’m not sure you’d run into the tvdb issues that poster mentioned. Here is the github for Hama if you want to read up on it. It goes over absolute scanner in there too. https://github.com/ZeroQI/Hama.bundle
Did anyone's ZeroQI's Youtube Plex Agent stop working today?
1 project | /r/PleX | 9 Apr 2023

https://github.com/ZeroQI/Hama.bundle/issues/547 this one is for his anime scanner agent but been having recent issues as well. Hopefully it's not something on Plex cutting off third party access but just a bug that cropped up randomly
Any way to get AniDB ratings to show instead of TVDB ratings?

You need both to make this work. Definitely make a different library for anime. This is Hama. Also you can refer to this post if you're having trouble
