Commenting system for plex web

I’d really like it if the people I share my libraries with could comment on, and discuss movies and TV.

And be able to request/vote for new things.

Does anything like that exist? If not, I’m might try and put something together.

I’ve decided to make it a hack that just needs a js file included in the web view. Which I’ll add in a proxy, but you could just edit the html (and reedit if you update).

Saving to google firebase. I could even host it for everyone… should cost pretty much nothing. As long as noone starts abusing it :slight_smile:

I’m having trouble finding the current user’s name (very important), email, id, image (somewhat important) from the current page using javascript.

My current hack involves jumping to the profile page, scraping the info, and jumping back :slight_smile: which is clearly a bit dumb. Anyone have any hints?

The answer is JSON.parse(localStorage.users).users[0]

localStorage.myPlexAccessToken is also useful

I believe I’ve mentioned this idea to Plex devs a few years ago…they never replied lol

I’m open to the idea of implementing a comments system, although I personally would never use it.

I’d recommend you move this to the Feature Suggestions section.

This is kinda-sorta-working for me now.

I’ll package it up so people can use it if they want, and it can be a very very ugly POC for a feature suggestion.
