# another way to run this app is with a wrapper script that outputs to files which would be useful to run as a scheduled task with cron, that way you can keep track of your duplicates # all you need to do is fill in the hostname or ip of the plex server and optionally set the port by defaults its port 32400. # now run the app to scan and output the duplicates note I didnt run as sudo from another user, i was simply root the whole time. well, in my case it did not error out when i run it as root.
Plex media server plugins install#
in fact bundle install insists that you dont run anything as root, and it warns that it might error out if you run as root. but if you dont want to run as root thats fine.

# * note its never a good idea to run random software as root user, however this is on a system that I dont mind running as root. # install the dependencies/Gems of plex-duplicates (it reads the Gemfile & Gemfile.lock files that are there to find out what to install to meet the requirements of this plexdoops app) # pick a folder to install ruby to (I picked /root as im root user, more on this later) # download the bundler software which takes care of ruby app dependencies. # install ruby 1.9 (also I tested with ruby 2.x and it works) # PLEX-DUPLICATES / PLEXDOOPS INSTALL STEPS # I changed the output of the progress to stderr using puts, and that gives it a scrolling effect, but the main reason i did it is not for the scrolls (because the scrolls look terrible), its so that you can have good normal output. The normal script didnt have a save option and if you redirected to a file, it would be filled with alot of binary data that has to do with the page always being cleared because the output for the progress uses “print” (which keeps printing on the same line).

Update on plex-duplicates (I made a small edit). This uses ruby bundler, more info on that (its like pip for python):īundler provides a consistent environment for Ruby projects by tracking and installing the exact gems and versions that are needed. You must install the latest ruby (it worked with 2.1.2 for me – currently I see 2.1.4, it should work with that as well I suppose)
You can use the same PC or another PC (as long as it has access to the port 32400 of plex). Here is an app thats called Plex-Duplicates that will login to a Plex server and find all of the duplicates. Plexdoops – Plex-Duplicates – Find Duplicates UPDATE: doesnt work on latest plex anymore probably because changes authentication scheme or something or that fact that you can have your server encrypted nowĪnd all different approach to plugins, is making your own apps via other programming languages (such as ruby) to interact with plex. You will see all of your plugins (might take a few moments/ refreshes/relogins to see them) Note: above is what I see when I right click on the Plex Icon, notice the Media Manager and the Open Plugins Folder I think the rest is pretty straight forward.
Look at how its installed in my windows plex setup (I have Plex installed to F:\Programs0\PlexData\Plex Media Server\Plug-ins)Ībove is the folder when you right click on the plex icon and click Open Plugins folder. You know you have it correctly structured, if you go into the folder UnsupportedAppstore.bundle and you see another folder called Contents. To install it, go to the link, download the ZIP, extract it, make sure the folder name is UnSupportedAppstore.bundle (in other words remove the -master suffix from the folder name). This plugin is like an app store of plugins (free plugins): The coolest and biggest list of plugins can come actually from 1 plugin. Unsupported Appstore Plugin (The Plugin Repository)

Then reload the Media Manager and your plugin should appear as a Channel box.īy example I will show how to install a plugin below. To ensure correct install of plugin: make sure plugin folder ends with. Plex installs its plugins to a folder, plugins show up as channels within your Media Manager
