Feature request: Windows support #31

Originally posted by **boggsdabeast** March 26, 2023 Hello there! I have a few questions related to setup that I couldn't find on the docs.. My host machine is Windows.. is that okay? If so, terminal is exiting your setup python after asking for file path. It's that expected? Does host machine need to be Ubuntu/linux? Does your python need to be run in a Ubuntu/linux container?

Host machine doesn't need to be Linux, can use WSL2, I managed to successfully set it up on my windows machine using Ubuntu LTS and Docker Desktop installed on windows with WSL2 Engine instead of Hyper-V.

Edit: Also just need to use Plex Media Server on the windows machine, no need to run via docker.

I had no idea you could install Linux within Windows!!

I tried to follow the steps but I must've missed one or done something wrong or not ran the main.py properly or its not running through through Ubuntu or something like that. You able to create a YouTube tutorial of how you got this to work end to end?

Edit: Turns out I'm just an idiot and was running the main.py in a python terminal instead of ubuntu terminal

@ariffammobox, could you perhaps say something about this in the README? If this already works, that's great, but I don't have (enough) experience with WSL(2) to say something reliable about this process.

I realise this request comes a bit late but I suppose I can always try ;) If you could make a PR with some info about it in the README that would be great, and we could close this issue.
