With all this discussion about changes to the "requested movies" list? What about moving it off to it's own separate page? This would give more space as well as allowing more information to be shown per movie (Posters anyone?!) and controls for deleting requests for users etc. I could keep the current list but maybe only show the last 5 or 10 requests with a link to view the full list somewhere else? Would also make showing TV shows easier too with their own page?
Or maybe have recently requested stuff show up on search page with a link to requested pages?
Let me know your thoughts!
I like how simple the requested movies list is currently.
I never post on the forums. Im mostly a lurker. But I felt I had to post and say what an awesome project this is. Just set it up and tested it out and it works great so far. I've been looking for this feature for a long time and I'm glad someone stepped up.
Kudos man! And like others have said, you should setup a donation page and I'll send some beer money your way.

Me too, but I definitely see the added benefit of some things people are suggesting. It's my I like the idea of keeping the current list (filter for the last 10 or so requests) as is but also created a separate page with a more detailed list too? That way both options are available?

Me too, its just that i have 210 movies in my request list (mix of downloaded, in que, and stuff that hasent been released). So some better sorting based on maybe these cataogories.

So if I mad the list sortable by a few different headings that would help?

Tbh focus on functions instead of listening to my bizarre needs:) I think most people wanna see what you can do with series adding!
(but yeah, some sorting could be nice or splitting it up in catagories vertically down.)

No worries, just adding it to a list of feature requests to keep track of! Shows right now is my main goal, just haven't had time this week because of work! Weekend can't come soon enough
Loken, I know you don't want to to create a user account system or anything complex but is it possible just to ask for their names when the first visit the site and save it as a cookie? That way pushbullet would be able to say "New Plex request from John" as the title.
I have added some functionality that is close to this request, but instead of user accounts I am accessing the Plex.tv API, finding the admin users "friends" (PMS server shares).
The users can only access the request page if they enter their Plex username and it matches one of the admin "friends".
Instead of using cookies, I am using persistent sessions saved to the LocalStorage.
The code is messy but it might be the right direction to go.
Below is the github post related to it, maybe once the code is cleaned up and tested more thoroughly Loken can merge it.

Awesome! I had the Plex API bookmarked to look into this and see if something like this is possible, so thanks for taking initiative.
I’ve been hacking on adding TV shows but I’ll peruse the code tomorrow at work quickly and see how we can integrate it and give it some testing!
Regarding TV shows I’ve able to separate out movie requests into their own section so just need to write same functions for TV series. I’m using a radio toggle that switches between the current view which is for movies, and a blank view currently that will show same stuff but for movies.
Its up on the Dev channel so you can see what I mean on there but definitely don’t use it for anything but personal testing! The movie stuff should still all work but you’ve been warned.
Just so everyone who cares is in the loop (and if you don't frequent GitHub), TV was coming along nicely until I realized SickBeard/Rage uses different ID numbers than I (incorrectly) thought so all that work was for null on the Dev channel. I'm going to quickly first concentrate on getting the Authentication stuff merged in and the code/files cleaned up before I approach TV again to make it easier to add on TV and manage things overall.
Accounts are here! Once setup, users merely need to enter their Plex.tv username only to get access; it's quick and easy, and a token means future visits are even quicker!
For more info check out the Dev channel on GitHub or website (yes it's bare for now) and big thanks to Jeradin for doing the heavy lifting. I'll leave it sit in Dev for awhile so people can test it out and so I've more time to massage any bumps over before updating master.
Nice! Since there are accounts now, will pushbullet be able to tell you who requested the movie in the notification?
a very new user in terms of 3rd party developments etc. Plex movie request is exactly what I was looking for with all my family and friends requesting movies all the time.
I just have a very basic question. the meteor server is running on my pc in the command line. is there anyway to automate it to keep it running always in the background?.

Is there a option to disable user auth? Cause i already run user auth from a different system.

isn't it disabled by default if you don't provide your Plex info?

You tell me, i havent tried the last dev version.

No currently it is required to make requests. I am looking at making it possibly optional, just haven't had a chance to yet. So please don't use the dev channel yet if you don't want it, and it's also why it's not merged with master yet.

I will be expanding things with the new information available such as the user who makes the request so that will be coming down the line

Preferably, you'd be running it in production mode which requires node js installed as well as Mongo DB. I'm looking to make a quick guide for running it as such under Windows and Ubuntu. For now, possibly look into running the command at start up and then minimizing the window automatically?
