pledo - Plex Downloader

This is a simple downloader for movies and tv shows of accessible plex media servers. If you either want a copy of your friends media or your bandwidth cant just handle a stream - this can be your solution. Deploy on your media server as container and access by web frontend.

Focused on proper functioning rather than good looking design. Features:

• .Net backend + React.js frontend
• Log in by plex.tv, no need for typing in password into this app
• Sync all media metadata of all accessible servers, backed by local db
• Browse all media, select and download directly
• Download
  • movies
  • tv shows, seasons or single episodes
  • playlists
  • server-sided (per default) or directly in browser
• Supports multiple file versions (e.g. in different resolutions / codecs)
• Background sync keeping track of media servers' connection changes
• Docker image for amd64 and arm64. Or run the windows executable .

Use docker pull ghcr.io/fxsth/pledo:latest to get the docker image of latest release.

Docker Compose Example

version: "3"

services:
  pledo:
    image: ghcr.io/fxsth/pledo:latest
    container_name: plex-downloader
    volumes:
      - /config/pledo:/config
      - /media/Movies:/movies
      - /media/Tv-Shows:/tvshows
    ports:
      - 23456:80
    restart: unless-stopped
    logging:
      driver: "local"   # for log-rotation

Directory /config is used for storing database and local configuration. If not available, it will default to SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData/.pledo

Windows executable

Besides docker, you can also run the windows executable that are attached in the release binaries. Download and extract pledo.win-x64.zip and run the exe, then you can open the user interface in the browser on localhost:5000. Beware, this will first open a warning screen from Windows as it is an app from unknown source. Database and local configuration will be located at %localappdata%/.pledo .
