  Automatically sync TRaSH Guides to your Sonarr and Radarr instances

• Kometa

  303 2,226 9.6 Python

  Python script to update metadata information for items in plex as well as automatically build collections and playlists. The Wiki Documentation is linked below.

  

Plex Meta Manager (GitHub) for some automated library organization. This one has been a long process. It's a steep learning curve when you're first starting out, but my suggestion is to pick ONE feature and start there. That is, "I want a collection of the IMDb Top 250 Movies" and learn how to implement that, then move on to another feature you want to add. Currently, I have overlays for streaming services, audio quality, and video quality, plus collections for IMDb, award winners, filmmakers, actors, and production companies.

  MovieMatch for Plex

I've played around with some other services, such as Rollarr and MovieMatch, but they haven't become permanent fixtures in my setup.
