For each movie library, ask for all the movies.

Get all libraries, and filter by those that are movie related.

My needs ended up boiling down to two needs: For me all I cared about was getting JSON, but you'll want to check that link as well for more information. You can find a wiki page documenting even more api "stuff" you can do, including asking for JSON data, that doesn't seem to have ever been officially documented by the Plex folks. You can also request Plex to scan and refresh a library.īut wait - there's more. API calls allow for getting your libraries, listing library content, and getting specifics for an item. This is a simple POST hit to the main Plex server that returns a large set of user data where the only thing you'll need to care about is the authentication_token.Īfter that, the remaining API calls go against your own server.

If you've read this blog you'll note that 99% of what I build with Vue.js is on the simpler side, just a script tag and some basic code. It also gave me an opportunity to play with a "proper" Vue.js application. So of course I took this simple request and spent numerous hours building a demo that was way overengineered but fun to build. Plex lets you sort by duration but you can't filter to a particular length (or range of lengths). In this case, dinner was in an hour or so and it would be neat to find something of that particular length. My friend mentioned that it would be cool if Plex had a way to find a movie of a particular length. It's relatively easy to use and you can share your (legally acquired of course) content with friends. It's very popular and you can use it via the web, mobile devices, and smart TVs.
