Plex Attributes

Configuring Plex is required in order to connect to your libraries.

A plex mapping can be either in the root of the config file as global mapping for all libraries, or you can specify the plex mapping individually per library.

Below is a plex mapping example and the full set of attributes:

plex:
  url: http://192.168.1.12:32400
  token: ####################
  timeout: 60
  clean_bundles: true
  empty_trash: true
  optimize: false

Attribute	Allowed Values	Default	Required
url	Plex Server URL Example: http://192.168.1.12:32400	N/A	✅
token	Plex Server Authentication Token	N/A	✅
timeout	Plex Server Timeout	60	❌
clean_bundles	Runs Clean Bundles on the Server after all Metadata Files are run	false	❌
empty_trash	Runs Empty Trash on the Server after all Metadata Files are run	false	❌
optimize	Runs Optimize on the Server after all Metadata Files are run	false	❌

• This script can be run on a remote Plex server, but be sure that the url provided is publicly addressable, and it's recommended to use HTTPS.

• If you need help finding your Plex authentication token, please see Plex's support article.

Specifying a second Plex server for a specific library:

In this example we have two Plex servers [with the same libraries] and want to add the same collections to each. The second Plex is less responsive, so it needs a higher timeout than the primary one.

libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
      - file: config/Movies.yml
  Movies_on_Second_Plex:
    library_name: Movies
    metadata_path:
      - file: config/Movies.yml
    plex:
      url: http://plex.boing.bong
      token: SOME_TOKEN
      timeout: 360

plex:
  url: http://plex.bing.bang
  token: SOME_TOKEN
  timeout: 60
