What are your favorite plugins/addons for Plex?

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

Our great sponsors
  • 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)

  • PlexTraktSync: While Plex has the webhooks to send and update your Trakt account, I found them extremely unreliable and quite limited in their functionality.

  • plugins

    Plugins and shell scripts for integrating 3rd party tools with FileBot (by filebot)

  • Renaming and organizational structure are also very important in plex and many users struggle with following them. Apps like FileBot, Sonarr and Radarr can help with that.

  • 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.

  • bazarr

    Bazarr is a companion application to Sonarr and Radarr. It manages and downloads subtitles based on your requirements. You define your preferences by TV show or movie and Bazarr takes care of everything for you.

  • Bazarr: While there was/is a Metadata Agent SubZero, most have probably switched over to Bazarr to handle Subtitles for their content. It offers a lot of customizability in regards to where you want to get the subtitles from (like OpenSubtitles) or what to do with them (modifying them with post-processing scripts)

  • 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: Plex metadata management is kind of bad because if the metadata is being removed, there is no way to get it back other than restoring a backup. Metadata is also not universal but library dependent, re-organizing a library or moving a movie from one to another will remove existing and add a new set of metadata.

  • Tautulli

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

  • Tautulli: something to monitor and do some analytic stuff on your Plex server, it also offers notification agents and can do a lot of stuff based on events in plex.

  • Sonarr

    Smart PVR for newsgroup and bittorrent users.

  • Renaming and organizational structure are also very important in plex and many users struggle with following them. Apps like FileBot, Sonarr and Radarr can help with that.

  • Ombi

    Want a Movie or TV Show on Plex/Emby/Jellyfin? Use Ombi!

  • Ombi: A Media request tool for the Media servers Plex/Jellyfin/Emby.

  • 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.

  • MyAnimeList.bundle

    Plex Media Server Metadata Agent for MyAnimeList.net

  • For Anime related things there are Metadata Agents for MyAnimeList (the Agent I maintain) and HAMA.

  • Radarr

    Movie organizer/manager for usenet and torrent users.

  • Renaming and organizational structure are also very important in plex and many users struggle with following them. Apps like FileBot, Sonarr and Radarr can help with that.

  • Hama.bundle

    Plex HTTP Anidb Metadata Agent (HAMA)

  • For Anime related things there are Metadata Agents for MyAnimeList (the Agent I maintain) and HAMA.

  • WebTools-NG

    WebTools Next Generation for Plex

  • Webtools-NG: What was previously a Plugin for Plex is now a standalone app. This will allow you to extract and get lists of your content based on extraction levels that you then can analyze. You would need to use this if you, for example, want to know what content is in a certain codec.

  • tautulli-watched-sync

    Use this script to make Tautulli for plex synchronize watched TV Shows to Trakt.tv and movies to Letterboxd

  • I tried to use plex2trakt and it wasn't going the way I wanted, so I am using tautulli-watched-sync and it seems to be working nicely for me.
