Thanks loken. That will be very helpful
Is there a option to disable user auth? Cause i already run user auth from a different system.
So options some options:
1. Still require their username but it's not checked against your friends/managed users so it could really be anything
2. The above, but with the option to not enter anything and make requests anonymously
3. Remove username entry entirely and keep things as they currently are
Personally I'm thinking option 1, with 2 depending how how the code would work out

I like 1. Could it use a cookie to track the username so they dont have to re-enter it each time?

Yes it is currently using local storage to remember they've authenticated and their username, I'm working on getting option 1 to work right now
OK so latest dev has been pushed and it now isn't required to use authorization, if you don't enabled Plex authorization it'll accept any username and tag things as such.
So what is the best way to handle this updates? I would like to try out new features but I don't want to break the current database.
Secondary to the above request, do you make change often to the html file? I usually go in there and rename everything that says Plex to my server name. Maybe make those part a variable that you can change in one place within the Admin page? Just a thought...
Thanks again for the awesome work you have been putting into this project.

I personally just overwrite my current folder but that's because I have my MongoDB separate and are running it after building.
If you're running using just Meteor, it's safe to erase everything EXCEPT the local folder within .meteor as that's where the DB is saved. Usually I don't edit the main HTML file but we have recently to allow for Plex Requests so it will have to overwrite your custom one.
I could think about making it a variable, but which exact instances of Plex are you re-writing? And what's wrong with calling it Plex Requests?

Nothing is wrong with the name "Plex Requests". I just like to personalize it to my server name. Below are the files and code I update (removed the actually name). Again, not a huge deal or even a deal breaker. Just thought if it's not too hard to add, would make a nice touch to just have a spot that says what the server name is on the admin page. By default it would be Plex. But if I change it in the field it would update the variables I changed below.

Use the search box below to do a quick OMDBsearch for a movie!
Hey Loken i finally got around to messing with the app again, this time i was successful in get it to run on my qnap TS-453Pro and also tested it out on a Raspberry Pi. They both are running fine on both platforms. By the way they are running on the native meteor program.
So I am trying out the latest Dev build with usernames. I put my username in and the gear spins saying "signing in" but it never moves on. I will do a bit of trouble shooting on my side and get back to you.
Question: What happends if a movie gets manually added to libary after a request is done (i still do the scan so that CP detects it). Will the request website count is as "Downloaded" or do i need to manually do that in admin interface?

If the movies shows up under the "managed" tab in CP, then it should kick back to the user that it has already been downloaded.
Give it a go and see what happens.

Awesome, thanks for getting back! Enjoy

Yep that's where the download status tag gets updated so it should!
I'm also going to automating the check on a timer, just figuring out best way to do it and how often to check
hey Loken,
sorry but i cant find the latest dev. im on this page https://github.com/lokenx/plexrequests-meteorbut it says last update was 6 days ago

On the Plex sign in page or the main page to make requests?
Yeah but what if the download didnt come from CP snatching it, but manually added from lets say a different place. Will it still update "old" requests that is tagged with a CP uid.
edit: the reason i'm asking is that it isnt updated for me atm. (i added 20movies from a different system), and even if CP lib is updates, the request page is not getting it. So guessing they arent refreshed or something?

You have to change the branch from master to dev, or direct link is below

We use the IMDB ID number, so yes it should. I do a check to CP with the IMDB ID number for the movies status, if it's downloaded (regardless of how) and it shows up under the Manage tab it'll get tagged as downloaded.

Are they showing up under the Manage tab in CP? That's how CP knows it's been downloaded. You may have to do a manual library refresh if you don't have it doing that automatically as it doesn't know new stuff has been added as it came from a different source.
Once that's done it should update in the app
