PlexMatch File Generator

This application generates a .plexmatch file in the directory of all shows and movies added to your Plex Server. This is especially useful for migrating storage devices if you have some shows that needed a custom match.

Usage

The command is expecting 2 arguments from the command line

• Plex Server Token (-t or --token)
• Plex Server Url (-u or --url)

For information on how to get your Plex token, see this support link: https://support.plex.tv/articles/204059436-finding-an-authentication-token-x-plex-token/

Optional Parameters

• Modify root path (-r or --root)
  • Use this option to set the root path used to be different than what your Plex server returns. For instance if your Plex container has the media mounted to /media and the computer running the application has it mounted to /mnt/media
  • Usage: -r /path/on/host:/path/on/plex
• Set log path (-l or --log)
  • This will output the log to file at the path specified, log file will be named plexmatch.log in the directory specified. The path specified must exist! If this option is not specified, no log file will be output.
  • Usage: -l /home/user/logs
• Get version (--version)
  • This will output the version of the executable being run
• View help (--help)
  • This will output the parameter help
