great app, but i cannot seem to get the available button shown with series I already have on my server.
For movies it shows that it is already available and there is even a link to the plex.tv/webb page.
already enabled Enable Episode Searching…
So the series doesn’t show as available until every episode is available. There is a bit more work to do around that area as i’m not happy with it. so any suggestions please feel free to raise a github issue 
Quick update… And a BIG thanks! Awesome job with this!
I was the first to reply in this thread asking for a Python version of PlexRequest. Since then a few things have changed on the Asustor NASes with the advent of an app called HX_Engine which actually gives a full GUI on the HDMI output of the 64-bit models. I still would love to see a strictly Python version of the app, but at least I can run the .net version…
Following the release of HX_Engine for the Asustor NASes, I was able to get PlexRequests.net up and running. There are a few things I have noticed though, I thought I should note here:
-
If there is any error messages with either CouchPotato or Sonarr adding in the requested media item, PlexRequests.net just reports there was a problem, but not what the problem was. You have to go to the appropriate app to see the error to find out why. (Typically due to an invalid or no database entry on theMovieDB or theTVDB sites.)
-
PlexRequests.net will occasionally prompt that there is an update. But there is no update method short of downloading the update, stopping the service, then unzipping into the directory, and restarting the app. Would love to see an integrated “Update” button that could handle this. (Granted this is a rare occurrence, but it does happen…)
-
The PlexRequests channel for PMS doesn’t talk to the .net version of the app. I would love to be able to share this channel out with my users so they can make requests through those clients that support channels, but at this time the connection isn’t working. I KNOW there are requests, but the channel reports nothing requested, and creating a request errors out the PMS session. I have to close which ever app I had running, and reopen it to get back into Plex again. (Perhaps this should be reported in that channel’s thread?)
This is one of the best things to come out within the Plex ecosystem. Thanks for the great work!
Glad someone finally made a .NET version - great job! Might be interested in contributing as it’s in a programming language I actually know!
Not sure if i’ve not configured something but does it not say if the movie/tv they’ve requested is already in my Plex library? I know the meteor version does that and I like that functionality.
Cheers
Thanks for the feedback Mike!
Regarding the channel, I have been speaking to the developer for the channel and he is happy to integrate! Just need to find the time.
Hi Alex, Please feel free to submit a pull request!
It should recognize existing media if Plex is setup correctly, there is a job that runs (Using quartz), so maybe the job hadn’t run yet, if you restart Plex Requests all the jobs will run and you shouldn’t have a problem.

Thanks - i’ve restarted Plex Requests but when requesting a movie/tv show it doesn’t show whether it is already available it just lets me request it - any ideas?
Also is there any plan to customise the text displayed on pushover notifications?
Cheers

Notifications are being worked on and the ability to customize notifications I am slowly working on but need to architect the right solution.
Make sure your plex settings are correctly set up and maybe enable the advanced searches in the settings. If there are problems after that feel free to raise a github issue

eh what?
n00b question. I have plex request .net running using the docker, how do I update the docker image to the new version?

Plex is written in Python, so any machine able to run Plex can also run anything written in Python.
This is only 5% correct. Plex may be written in python, but i can damn well tell you on both pc and mac it is compiled into an excutable file so that you dont require having python on the machine.
[Feature Request]
Can I have an option so that my users can only request invdividual seasons of a show and not the entire show.
I have a couple of people that decide they want to watch all seasons of Law and Order so request the entire show only to get bored after 20 episodes leaving me with 15 seasons that they will never watch.
I would prefer that they be limited to downloading a season at a time and all future episodes. Without having to approve each of their requests individually.
Thanks

I am getting the same error.
Also, is there a way to check or change the email account for the Admin
For the new newsletter for whats new, is there a way to make modifications to it?
Like…
- what day to send it
- what time to send it
- modify subject and title options
- modify which items you want to send
Hi guys,
I am working on improving the newsletter!
Regarding the issues you are facing, I have some users running a dev build that have this problem so I can diagnose it (it’s difficult to try test for everyone’s Plex setups!)
If it helps I installed it on a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS and I followed these instructions github.com/tidusjar/PlexRequests.Net/wiki/Installing-on-Debian-Ubuntu
So after the latest update posters are not showing up for requests. When looking at the url it is like the following.
“https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w150/https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w150//5vwP5vUBqizNI5O7UU6mAgkTkGa.jpg”
Really? That’s unusual!
The API must have changed, did it happen straight after you updated?

It happened after the last update and from what I can tell the URL is repeated twice for the poster image.
