Add a label in plex to requested media once available

Open jimski427 opened this issue 11 months ago • 6 comments

Description

I would like to be able to add a label to content once jellyseerr sees that the conent is available on the plex server.

Desired Behavior

  1. user requests content
  2. content is added and marked as available
  3. jellyseer adds label in plex with username of user who requested it (or customizable label)

Additional Context

No response

You can already add a label with the name of the user who requested the media, and this label will be added at request time. I think managing labels depending on the state of the media is out of the scope of Jellyseerr.

It does not add a label in Plex, I can tag the request in the arrs, but that is not the same.

Ah sorry, I misread that

No worries. Also, I can see how you would think it's "out of scope" if you don't manage access to content via labels. I do for my kid, so for me it's a pretty in scope feature. I can kind of do it now with some things, but if they aren't in the "kids library" I have to go manually tag things, which let's be honest, I always forget to do lol.

@jimski427

I have a project that can do this among other things (subtitle sync, translate, etc), but you can set it up so that you only add labels (no need to configure Bazarr).

For it to work you have to enable webhook notification in Jellyseerr with "Request Available" enabled and add the webhook url.

Might be worth the look while somebody can potentially integrate it to Jellyseerr: https://github.com/gssariev/overr-syncerr

@gssariev that definitely is an option. I found another one that does similar things as well. I will take a look at yours, it seems a little better since I can specify the tag. But it would definitely be nice if in jellyseerr, I could go to the user, set a Plex tag for them and just approve it and when the media is available it adds the tag automatically without the need and another thing running.

I considered implementing this, but it depends on: • #1594 being merged first • the new Plex integration API, which might simplify things (rather than reverse-engineering the closed client API)

Oh that's awesome, I appreciate you looking into it and working on it! I know it's a niche feature request.
