PlexRecs

A Discord bot that provides movie and TV show recommendations from your Plex library

DISCLAIMER: This bot requires a Discord account and server, a Plex Media Server and Tautulli/PlexPy (Plex monitoring) software to function. Requires Python 3.6+

Setup

  1. Make a Discord Bot (HOW TO MAKE A DISCORD BOT: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/rewrite/discord.html). Bot will need read/write text channel permissions, including links, attachments and emojis, and message management.
  2. Clone this repo with git clone https://github.com/nwithan8/PlexRecs.git
  3. Navigate to PlexRecs directory with cd PlexRecs
  4. Install dependencies with pip3 install -r requirements.txt
  5. Open credentials.py file and fill out the credentials
  6. Run the bot with python3 run.py

Usage

Once the bot is up and running, trigger it by typing "[PREFIX] recommend [CATEGORY]" to get a randomly selected movie/show/artist recommendation.

To only get recommended something you have not already watched/listened to, type "[PREFIX] recommend [CATEGORY] new [Your Plex Username]".

Features

In addition to a recommendation, the owner of the Plex Server (whoever has the OWNER_DISCORD_ID) will be offered up to five available players that they can have the recommendation automatically play on.

Due to security limitations in the Plex API, this option is only available for the user currently logged into Plex (in this case, the Plex server administrator).

Can't Install Modules

I tried running PlexRecsGeneral.py after editing it, and it's giving me an invalid syntax error for the pip install line. I tried installing it outside of the script but when I run it after (and comment out the pip install line), it can't find the modules. I also tried doing an os.system call for that line since I tried looking it up and apparently pip can only be run from the command line, not a python interpreter. Though it gave me the same result as installing it outside of the script. Am I misinterpreting the install instructions or something else?

Rewrite to pull "unwatched" as Plex filter rather than Tautulli

Access Plex server as indicated user, then include unwatched: True as a Plex filter, rather than checking and guessing against Tautulli history
