How to use Plexy 🤖

Requirements 📜

• Python 3.6 or Higher (I used 3.9)
• A Plex admin account
• Discord account
• Latest release

1. Make your own discord bot

First go to the Discord Developer Portal login with your discord account press new application type the application name and press Create set your application/bot icon and description/about me choose form the navbar in the left Bot option press add bot and yes, do it!

2. make sure you have Python 3.6 or higher installed

3. Download latest release

4. Login to plex with an admin account

5. Unzip the source files and locate configs/secrets.example.json it should look like this:

{
  "bot_token": "<Bot Token>",
  "notificationsChannelId": 1000000000000000000,
  "plexAdminDiscordId": 1000000000000000000,
  "plexBaseUrl": "<Plex Base Url>",
  "plexToken": "<Plex X-Token>",
  "contentUrl": "<Plex Content URL>"
}

• bot_token → The discord bot token you can find in the Discord developer portal
• notificationChannelid → Go to discord client Settings > Advanced > Developer Mode and enable it. Then go to the channel you want the new content notifications and right click it and Copy ID
• plexAdminDiscordId → Do the same as notificationChannelid but select the discord user you that controls the plex server
• plexBaseUrl → Go to Plex and open the dashboard. goto Settings > Remote Access if plex server is on the same system as the bot use http://localhost:32400/, otherwise use the public ip and port
• plexToken → See Finding an authentication token / X-Plex-Token
• contentUrl → Go to the Plex Dashboard and open a media item. then in the address-bar copy everything until /details
  

6. Rename the file to secrets.json

7. Open configs/config.example.json

  "plex_config": {
    "refreshTime": 15,
    "max-recently-added": 20,
    "scanLibraries": ["TV Shows", "Movies", "Anime"],
    "allLibraries": ["Anime", "Movies", "Home videos", "TV Shows"]
  }

• scanLibraries → Are all the libraries Plexy searches for new content
• allLibraries → All the libraries you want plexy to see

"args": {
  "-all": ["Anime", "Movies", "TV Shows"],
  "-movie": ["Movies"],
  "-m": ["Movies"],
  "-show": ["TV Shows"],
  "-s": ["TV Shows"],
  "-anime": ["Anime"],
  "-a": ["Anime"],
  "-h": ["Home videos"],
  "-videos": ["Videos"],
  "-v": ["Videos"]
}

These are all the flags users can use to filter for libraries you can add and remove any flag you want

8. Choose if you want safe mode or not

  "general_config" : {
    "safe-mode": true
  }

🛑 Plexy uses the plex token to get media assets from the plex server. But that exposes the plex token you have set to everybody in the discord server/channel. 🛑

9. Rename the file to config.json

Run The Project 🌀

To run the project

0. (Optional) Make a virtual environment

1. Install all the dependencies

      pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Run the bot

      python Bot.py

Sponsor

Plexy is free and will always be free to use. I did spend a lot of time on creating it.
So any donations are welcome but of course not required. (˵ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°˵)

Future plans

• I have some plans to document the code better
• Also planning to change the bot to discord slash commands
• Find a different way to get media assets without plex token
