Plex custom media asset server API?

• Tautulli

  419 5,361 8.3 Python

  A Python based monitoring and tracking tool for Plex Media Server.

  

Use Tautulli and create a custom script that's triggered when new content is added, grabs the generated poster from your server, then either places it alongside the media using Plex's local assets guidelines and refreshes metadata for the item (hide_episode_spoilers.py might be a good example for interacting with local assets in a custom script), or uses something like python-plexapi to interact with the Plex API directly and uploads the poster. If you have a Plex Pass you could probably do something similar with webhooks to listen for library.new events and generate/upload the poster.

  Just a Bunch Of Plex Scripts

Use Tautulli and create a custom script that's triggered when new content is added, grabs the generated poster from your server, then either places it alongside the media using Plex's local assets guidelines and refreshes metadata for the item (hide_episode_spoilers.py might be a good example for interacting with local assets in a custom script), or uses something like python-plexapi to interact with the Plex API directly and uploads the poster.

• SportScanner

  21 99 0.0 Python

  Scanner and Metadata Agent for Plex that uses sportdb

Create your own metadata agent that calls to your web server to get the image to add to the metadata. I'm not aware of any formal documentation that still exists for creating metadata agents. This archive of dev.plexapp.com might help: https://web.archive.org/web/20150113085312/http://dev.plexapp.com:80/docs/agents/models.html, but you may be stuck with looking at existing agents (like SportScanner.bundle) to see real examples of how to grab images for Plex to use.
