Recently I’ve been working on a tool that you can run against your Plex libraries to create and add all the media within to various genre named collections.
I have a fairly large Anime and Movie library and I primarily use the desktop client so whenever I added a new show or movie I would manually add it to collections based off the genre. This was fairly easy to do and browsing my collections by genre name is much quicker and easier than using the built in Plex way of browsing by genre. Way less clicks, this is especially true if your using a Roku where you have to navigate using a remote instead of a keyboard and mouse.
So I built a tool that will do all of that automatically, it uses TMDB to get genre information for your standard Movie and TV Shows and MyAnimeList for genre information for your Anime.
Current Features
- Simplicity. I’ve tried the make the tool very easy to setup and use and not overwhelming.
- Supports Anime
- Ability to run on a schedule
- Ability to upload custom cover art for your genre collections
- Dockerized for those docker lovers
I’m always open to new feature ideas and ways I can improve the tool.
