    Autoscan Autoscan replaces the default Plex and Emby behaviour for picking up file changes on the file system. Autoscan integrates with Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr and Google Drive to fetch changes in near real-time without relying on the file system.

  • Tautulli

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

    Tautulli Tautulli is a 3rd party application that you can run alongside your Plex Media Server to monitor activity and track various statistics. Most importantly, these statistics include what has been watched, who watched it, when and where they watched it, and how it was watched. The only thing missing is "why they watched it", but who am I to question your 42 plays of Frozen. All statistics are presented in a nice and clean interface with many tables and graphs, which makes it easy to brag about your server to everyone else

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Plex-Meta-Manager The original concept for Plex Meta Manager is Plex Auto Collections, but this is rewritten from the ground up to be able to include a scheduler, metadata edits, multiple libraries, and logging. Plex Meta Manager is a Python 3 script that can be continuously run using YAML configuration files to update on a schedule the metadata of the movies, shows, and collections in your libraries as well as automatically build collections based on various methods all detailed in the wiki. Some collection examples that the script can automatically build and update daily include Plex Based Searches like actor, genre, or studio collections or Collections based on TMDb, IMDb, Trakt, TVDb, AniDB, or MyAnimeList lists and various other services.

  • nzbget

    Discontinued Efficient Usenet Downloader

    NZBGet NZBGet is a binary downloader, which downloads files from Usenet based on information given in nzb-files. It is generally more performant than SABNZBd from my experiences.

  • PlexTraktSync

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

    Plex Trakt Sync This project adds a two-way-sync between trakt.tv and Plex Media Server. It requires a trakt.tv account but no Plex premium and no Trakt VIP subscriptions, unlike the Plex app provided by Trakt.

  • Cloudbox

    Ansible-based solution for rapidly deploying a Docker containerized cloud media server.

    If you are using a Dedicated Server, this guide is less-so for you. Please consider reading the official app documentation at their relevant locations. We recommend to start wtih Swizzin, Cloudbox, or SaltBox as a base.

  • qbittools

    A category for your *arr downloads. One for for your racing on your /ssd, and another for files to permaseed on /hdd. These Categories then can be managed by other third party tools. One example that I use is called qbittools which has a "mover" function.

  • 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.

  • rtorrent

    rTorrent BitTorrent client

    This app was pretty revolutionary when it was still in active development, that last edit they made is just to let you know he has another project.
