I’m sorry, there was a scraping issue and the title didn’t show up in Plex neither. A manual SQL fix did the job :). I have worked on your script and changed from Youtube to IMDB. the mainpage is called index.html, the image for not available covers has been substituted by a plain blueray box and every Release Year zero is replaced by “-”. You did very well, my scraper (and propably most people’s) just didn’t add the date.
edit: a navigation bar (navigate by first letter) has been added, at the top it now says “Felix Library”, change it or delete it 
Give it a try: http://felix.ge1.de/plexlibrary/index.html
Thumbs from Plex would be nice (especially for movies not found in an online database). I appreciate your work and look forward to future projects 
edit: One last idea: samba links would be nice, not to easy but doable, as files are linked with their paths by an id. I think I am going to do it.
I hope you agree with me uploading the script here:
That’s great! I’ve downloaded it and I’ll take a look this weekend (hopefully). The nav bar is something I wanted to add as well. Glad you did it. My name isn’t Felix, so I’ll probably change the name of that though 
You’re starting to motivate me to work on this, fhb. We may have to set up CVS or something.
first thing: CVS??? seriously? come on man, i hope that was a joke, what are you living in 1995 over there?
in all seriousness though, with plex .9’s totally redesigned library system about to drop any week now, i wouldn’t put too much more time into this, as it will be completely and totally broken very soon. (and accomplishing something similar in plex9 will probably be way way easier too)
glad you like it. I hope Plex nine will be great, developers have raised very high expectations. I don’t think there is much to change and this script should be easy to adjust to plex 9 as you only need to change the database query.
But perhaps Billy Joe is right, my harmony arrived today and the setup takes some time. Should start learning for my oral exams :wacko: too.
not exactly, no. the totality of the change coming can not be over-estimated.
Trying to make me feel old, Billy? We’ll use git then.
Regarding the change in Plex .9: I don’t mind having to tweak the script to make it compatible. As long as they still store the information in a database and let us query that database, we’ll be fine. You’re right though, we shouldn’t spend too much time working on it since the new version is around the corner…not that I really planned to anyway. I just plan on taking fhb’s changes.
Ok, fhb. I’ve absorbed your changes, and I like them. I like the blue ray “No cover available” better than the Plex logo I was using. I like the ‘-’, and I love the nav bar. I added the navigation for the TV Shows as well. I also linked the TV shows back to YouTube because I didn’t see where to get the IMDB code for them (not that I looked for very long). What else? Oh yeah, I streamlined the imdb linking. It was querying the database for each movie to get the imdb code. I set it up to just query once, which should speed things up a bit.
Here it is.
P.S. You have to change “XXXX’s Library” to “Felix’s Library”
I’m getting this error:
mkh:~ mkh$ python /Users/mkh/Downloads/explex\ 1.2/default.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/Users/mkh/Downloads/explex 1.2/default.py”, line 14, in

mkh:~ mkh$
Great, I know that it queried the database for each movie, but I never used Python before and that was the easiest way to do it (And it still ran quickly :) ).
edit: @mkh I don't know why the script produces that failure, it runs just fine here.
Follow the instructions originaly posted by Zoara. You have to put the folder in your plex scripts directory (see zoara's post for path). Then you have to run it from within plex (it looks like you're running it from terminal).
Well, not getting any txt file on my desktop, the script is added where it should be, and when I hit enter the status is (Running) på nada txt file…
?
These are people working on some things they are willing to share with the rest of us, for free, without getting anything in return: why would you talk to any of them in such a way?
From your posts I'm getting the idea that you're closely in touch with the Plex devs (maybe you're even a dev yourself), I think you should therefor know better..!
jeez dude, chill out, it was just a little joke at a version control software that’s nearly as old as I am, I’m certainly not trying to attack the guys that made this really cool ExPlex tool or discourage them from sharing their work or their time.
Ah, nvm got it working… my bad
MrAcid, thanks. I took Billy’s comment as a joke though. He was just messing around I thought. No harm done.
hmm… maybe a more obvious CVS joke is in order then for the benefit of mr acid… how about:
“Hey, your mainframe era VCS called, it wants its unpredictable fail states back. The years of your life spent hand-repairing repos and babysitting 6 hour merges? Nah, keep 'em. File renaming? what’s that?”
Ok, it was just me then. Sorry for interrupting!
Tiny request, the IMDB rating is showen like this “IMDB Rating: 8.700000” - Could you remove the 00000
Looking niiiiiiiice
So what might be wrong here when I don’t see the export anywhere on my system?
I can run the scripts (in fact I’ve tried all of them) and only the very first runs as expected.
Other version run for a while and then … nothing?
I don't know what to tell you. I have it exporting to "~/Sites" now so I don't have to keep moving it after I run it. Maybe you haven't looked there? I thought I mentioned that in one of my earlier posts, but maybe I didn't. If you don't want it in Sites, edit the default.py file and change "Sites" to "Desktop" or something.
