python-plexlibrary VS Plex-Auto-Collections

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.

Pretty sure OP's talking about the Python script Plex Auto Collections (which has been replaced with Plex Meta Manager).

I'd look into Plex Auto Collections

As for premade lists, for collections that might not fit into the filters provided by Plex, you could look into something like Plex Auto Collections, which can create collections based on IMDb/TMDb/Trakt lists, among many other options.

Not sure your current server setup or experience but there is this: https://github.com/mza921/Plex-Auto-Collections

The github page for PAC shows this is a known issue and the fix is to not be on the beta version but the latest stable release. As far as i know I am on the latest stable release and not beta version of plex (linuxserver/plex docker container)

Take a look at this

Check this out this tool that makes creating and maintaining collections painless. There are a few bugs still, but it's actively worked on and the dev is really helpful. https://github.com/mza921/Plex-Auto-Collections

You don't have to run the script on the server itself, just a machine that has access to the server. If you look at the config template, there's a plex section where you specify the server URL.

Wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to put a python 3 script on the Shield for my Plex Media server? The one I'm talking about specifically is Plex-Auto Collections https://github.com/mza921/Plex-Auto-Collections anyways, wondering if anyone knows of its possible or not. Unfortunately it's hard to get plugins and such on the Shield Plex servers.
