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

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

  • These is my top recommendations, even advertised of the Plex website. Download here. I ain't gonna keep updating that link so if it's old go to the main website by clicking the title. Setup is easy and there are loads of guides online if you do find it difficult.

  • Kometa

    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

  • 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.

  • Radarr

    Movie organizer/manager for usenet and torrent users.

  • Sonarr and Radarr

  • ErsatzTV

    Stream custom live channels using your own media

  • I prefer ErsatzTV since it seems to be well maintained. There's also dizqueTV which is a more maintained fork of PseudoTV.

  • dizquetv

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

  • I prefer ErsatzTV since it seems to be well maintained. There's also dizqueTV which is a more maintained fork of PseudoTV.

  • Sub-Zero.bundle

    Subtitles for Plex, as good you would expect them to be.

  • See here why it can work with the Plex Movie (Legacy) and why it doesn't work with the new Plex Movie agent: https://github.com/pannal/Sub-Zero.bundle/issues/753
