I'm fine with the basics of Plex - now what can I do to really use plex to it's full potential?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/PleX

  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • PlexTraktSync

    A python script that syncs the movies, shows and ratings between trakt and Plex (without needing a PlexPass or Trakt VIP subscription)

  • The last tool is PlexTraktSync. This will be able to sync your Plex server with your Trakt account 2-ways instead of only 1 way (and then also only "scrobble" with the Plex Webhook). An example of how I use it: PlexTraktSync has two modes, running "normally" in which the sync is happening once and a "watch" mode which scrobbles the currently watching states to trakt. I run in watch mode all the time but then also run a sync once a day. What this will do is that Trakt will automatically be updated with what I currently watch but when something is missed it will be updated the next sync. And since it is a 2-way sync, I can watch something (and it is updated on trakt that I watched it) and then rate it on trakt and the next day that rating is also set in Plex again.

  • Tautulli

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

  • With Tautulli you have a better monitoring system than what Plex offers. Streaming history split by user, you can add notifications to a lot of services like Slack, email and so on. You can even create newsletters being sent out to users based on what was added to your server.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • koneko

    🐈🌐 nyaa.si terminal BitTorrent tracker

  • Do you know if this would work for nyaa.si? The main issue is that a lot of release groups do not put "eng" in their titles and are instead in the "English Translated" category. Does sonarr have a way to find these categories? I've just been using a profile to restrict which release groups it pulls from but there are so many that it's been kind of tedious.

  • xTeVe

    M3U Proxy for Plex DVR and Emby Live TV

  • with an IPTV provider, you can proxy the m3u playlist from that through xTeVe to have Plex find it as a virtualized "tuner" and then just set it up just like a HDHR. it works surprisingly smoothly, assuming your IPTV provider is decent. https://github.com/xteve-project/xTeVe
