How can I use it?

3

Requirements: You will need to have your own plex media server, with a music library.

Steps

  1. Download the file

  2. Modify the file, you may need to change the following line if you have named your library something other then ā€œMusicā€

$libraryTitle = ā€œMusicā€

  1. Double click on the file, you will be prompted for your Plex username & password then it will take care of the rest.

How can I share the playlists that are already created?

@nathanstorms would you mind giving a noobie guide to use this?

Iā€™ve downloaded the script and ranned in powershell (my library name is also ā€˜musicā€™). But nothing seems to happen and no changes noted on the library also.

I stumbled apon this thread while searching if someone had already placed a request to filter the ā€œpopular tracksā€ - I always wanted to filter out live records and compilations. Would this script help me do that?

Thanks so much for this. It worked easily as described. I do not care for the types of playlists it created though. How would I modify it to make top 100 popular by all applicable genre lists?

no longer works. Could you fix it?
