  • plex_top_playlists

    A python script for creating playlists and collections for all server users from sources like IMDB and Trakt

  • If you know basic python. You can use this script someone made that will pull playlists from trakt and IMDb right into Plex. I modified it a little so instead of making a playlist it adds a tag. Then I make a smart collection that I add to Plex home. It includes any movies (in Plex) that are in the top 50 IMDb most popular and top 50 most watched on trakt. It works well for me https://github.com/pbrink231/plex_top_playlists

  • RadarrCollectionExporter

    Gets all the collections from Radarr and adds them to Plex Auto Collections or Plex Meta Manager.

  • Also if you have radarr, I haven't personally set this yet up but looks great. It takes all the collections from radarr and adds them to Plex using the meta manager. That way all the various series get grouped together nicely. https://github.com/jolbol1/RadarrCollectionExporter
