PLEX WEB EXPORT v.1 TUTORIAL
Hi Folks, I want to create these tutorial for this dead project. I hope one day it can be alive again. First, I use PWE (Plex Web Export) version 1. I spent 3-4 hours for using v2 but I couldn’t achieve then I read this topic, v2 is not working with latest PLEX Server. For this reason you can use v1.
You can see my PWE v1.0 demo site: kaan.dogan.org/plex
My Setup:
- Windows 10 with Anniversary Update
- IIS v10
- PHP7
- Plex Media Server Version 1.1.4.2757
- NetDrive2 v2.6.12 (optional)
- Plex Web Export v1.0
- Any web hosting
Installation:
First I’ll show you a trick. Instead of using your own host you can use any Free Hosting Services. You have to map your FTP as a drive on your PC (Plex Media Server). I use NetDrive2 for this job. Because it gives me more features but you don’t need to use NetDrive. You can map your free hosting service’s FTP. It is built-in Windows Feature. In my case:
In my case, I added my web server as Drive V:
I opened notepad and I paste these text to it and save as PWE.bat
cd C:\Program Files\PHP\v7.0
php V:\httpdocs\kaan\plex\cli.php -plex-url=“http://localhost:32400” -data-dir=“plex-data” -sections=“Movies,TV Series,Documentaries,Documentary Series,Turkish Dubbed”
I run this PWE.bat file as Administrator. That’s it. It pulls everything from my Plex Media Server and generate webpage on my website directly.
In this line:
php V:\YOUR_PWE_LOCATION\cli.php -plex-url=“http://localhost:32400” -data-dir=“plex-data” -sections=“LIBRARY_NAMES_SEPARATED_WITH_COMMA”
Do not waste your time for v2. v1 is OK. Enjoy.
