Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale

  • Plex-Meta-Manager

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

  • dizquetv

    Create live TV channels from your own media. Access the streams using the simulated HDHomerun tuner or the generated M3U URl.

    DizqueTV has been the biggest improvement to my Plex experience. It spoofs an HDHR server so that you can simulate "Live TV" within Plex's UI. This allows you to create custom channels of your Plex content.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • wrapperr

    Website based application that summarizes Plex statistics from a given period and displays it in a nice format. Similar to the Spotify Wrapped concept.

    And Plex Wrapped Similar to Reddit and Spotify's "Wrapped" end of the year stats. Cool place to let your users see how much and what they watched and listened to over the year (or any time frame you configure)

  • Audnexus.bundle

    An Audnexus client proof of concept for Plex, providing rich author and audiobook data. Developed in Python, offering enhanced user experiences via Plex's legacy plugin agent system.

    Did you know that with the 3rd party Audnexus agent you can set up a music library to be an Audiobook library?

  • requestrr

    Discontinued Requestrr is a chatbot used to simplify using services like Sonarr/Radarr/Ombi via the use of chat. Current platform is Discord only, but the bot was built around the ideology of quick adaptation for new features as well as new platforms.

    You can link them together

  • tailscale

    The easiest, most secure way to use WireGuard and 2FA.

  • sickbeard_mp4_automator

    Automatically convert video files to a standardized format with metadata tagging to create a beautiful and uniform media library

  • 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.

  • Kodi Home Theater Software

    Kodi is an award-winning free and open source home theater/media center software and entertainment hub for digital media. With its beautiful interface and powerful skinning engine, it's available for Android, BSD, Linux, macOS, iOS, tvOS and Windows.

    For media players, I use Kodi with the PlexKodiConnect add-on which gives a much cleaner and more customizable interface than Plex. It also gives you more options while playing a video, for example you can stretch a 4:3 show to 16:9 to fit your entire screen. You can also choose between different themes in Kodi (my preferred being Mimic but most people use Aeon Nox Silvo). I basically use Kodi as my front-end and Plex as my backend.

  • JBOPS

    Just a Bunch Of Plex Scripts

    I also installed Tautilli and setup https://github.com/blacktwin/JBOPS/tree/master/killstream
