Add Plex update

[clinton-hall]

Looking at adding plex notification. As suggested in #545 Need plex notification (with a Plex library update command) to be called after the files have been renamed/moved by SB/CP. Need this to support user authentication.

Hi Clinton-Hall. Thanks so far for the changes and improvements you've made on the other stuff we have been discussing. Well Done !! I'm impressed :o)

Any news on the Plex library notification with user authentication?

[clinton-hall]

Well... I looked at this and told myself I would need to look into it ;)

So, not the progress you are after at this stage... I am hoping to have a bit more time coming up soon.

[thesatman]

No prob. Was just going through my notes, keeping my finger on the puls you know. Keep up the good work!

[endiz]

any way we can star this request? :)

[clinton-hall]

Consider it stared ;) I just need time to work on it.

This worked for me... http://x.x.x.x:32400/library/sections/1/refresh?X-Plex-Token=YourTokenGoesHere found here https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/201638786-Plex-Media-Server-URL-Commands

token can be found here https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/204059436-Finding-your-account-token-X-Plex-Token?preview%5Btheme_id%5D=201342253%27+%27&use_theme_settings=false

ok.. in theory this should be in nightly branch...you add the following into the .cfg

[Plex]
    plex_host = localhost
    plex_port = 32400
    plex_token =
    plex_ssl = 0 
    # Enter Plex category to section mapping as Category,section and separate each pair with '|'
    # e.g. plex_sections = movie,3|tv,4
    plex_sections = 

so what you need to add, for most installs, is plex_token = your token as found on https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/204059436-Finding-your-account-token-X-Plex-Token?preview%5Btheme_id%5D=201342253%27+%27&use_theme_settings=false

and plex_sections needs to be a list of the categories (as defined in your downlaoder and their appropriate section number in your Plex database.

e.g if your movies is section 1 and your downlaoder category is "Movies", and your shows are section 2 and your downlaoder category is "TV" you would have plex_sections = Movies,1|TV,2

Please let me know if this works as wanted... haven't really been able to test, just made sure the basic functions didn't break.

I'll try and test this weekend. Thanks! On May 27, 2015 8:39 AM, "Clinton Hall" notifications@github.com wrote:

Great Job! I will give it a go tomorrow.

Tested! Works like a charm! After download finished In plex server activity i got this Alert notification: Scanning the "TV Shows" section [03:28:32] [DEBUG]::PLEX: Attempting to update Plex Library for category tv. [03:28:32] [DEBUG]::PLEX: Plex Library has been refreshed.

hi @clinton-hall

it seems like this feature breaks the script for people (like me) who don't use plex :cry:, when autoupgrading the script without adding the [Plex] config section...

it will complain about TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable in for item in core.PLEXSEC, but originally I think this is because of the or None in there...

to make it transparent upon upgrade you could choose to alternatively use an empty list, [] instead of None, wdyt? :thought_balloon:

[clinton-hall]

Hopefully fixed...

Is it possible to do this? "tv,1|tv-drone,1|movie,2|,movie3d,2|tv,4|tv-drone,4" To update multiple sections? As sonar downloads both anime / regular with same category but to different library ;p

[clinton-hall]

Yes, that should be possible. Exactly as suggested. Please test and report the outcome.

If someone comes wondering how to find section number in PMS than go to http://[PMS_IP_Address]:32400/library/sections find in page for word "key" , value of key is section number.

[clinton-hall]

Great info. Thanks, I'll add to wiki.

[thesatman]

Do I need to configure autoProcessMedia.cfg with my Plex credentials if I am using CouchPotato and SickRage where I already have configured this part there as well? If not, maybe a good idea to add this in a ##comment. I was reading and testing this new feature. Only to find out after an hour or two that I already had this configured in another place ;)

[clinton-hall]

yeah, fair call... I've edited the wiki and the comments in autoProcessMedia.cfg
