# About

This project started out as a script to copy a playlist from my account as a Plex Server owner to another user's account (on the same server). Slowly it got broken up into separate functions and became a simple PowerShell module.

See the [Changelog](CHANGELOG.md) for a list of changes.

# Getting Started:

1. Install the module from the PowerShell Gallery: `Install-Module -Name PSPlex`.
2. Run: `Set-PlexConfiguration`. You will be prompted to enter your Plex account name and password. If you have MFA enabled, add `,` to the end of your password followed by the code.
    * To inspect the code for this function, see: [Set-PlexConfiguration.ps1](/Source/Public/Set-PlexConfiguration.ps1).
3. Try a command from the 'Simple Examples' below.

# Simple Examples:

**Get a list of users you've shared with:**

```powershell
Get-PlexUser
```

**Get a list of libraries:**

```powershell
Get-PlexLibrary

key title type  createdAt           updatedAt
--- ----- ----  ---------           ---------
2   Films movie 21/02/2019 01:15:42 21/07/2026 21:17:30
3   TV    show  27/02/2019 05:56:37 21/07/2026 21:22:37
```

**Get all the items from a library called 'Films' that are unwatched:**

```powershell
Get-PlexItem -LibraryTitle 'Films' | Where-Object { $Null -eq $_.lastViewedAt }
```
**Get collections from library '3' show only the title and ratingKey (Id):**

```powershell
Get-PlexCollection -LibraryId 3 | Select title,ratingKey
```

**Get playlists:**

```powershell
Get-PlexPlaylist
```

**Remove a playlist for your account:**

```powershell
Remove-PlexPlaylist -Id 12345
```

**Remove a share for a user:**

```powershell
Remove-PlexShare -LibraryId 5 -Username 'yourfriend@theiremail.com'
```

**Create a smart collection:**

```powershell
$Library = Get-PlexLibrary -Name 'movies'
New-PlexSmartCollection -Name "Harry Potter" -LibraryId $Library.key -Filter "Title Contains Harry Potter"
```

**Remove a collection called 'test' a library called 'movies'**
```powershell
$Library = Get-PlexLibrary -Name 'movies'
Get-PlexCollection -LibraryId $Library.key | Where-Object { $_.title -eq 'test' } | Select -Expand ratingKey | Remove-PlexCollection
```

# More complex examples:

**Get a user and the libraries you've shared with them:**

```powershell
Get-PlexShare -Username 'friendusername' | Select username,@{Name='Shared';Expression={$_.Section | Where-Object { $_.Shared -eq 1 } | Select -Expand Title }}
```

**Get a user and their access token (for use in further automation, see the next few examples):**

```powershell
$User = Get-PlexUser -Username 'friendusername' -IncludeToken
`$User.Token
```

* **Get playlists for a different account:**

* ```powershell
      Get-PlexPlaylist -AlternativeToken $User.Token
      ```

* **Remove a playlist for a different account:**

* ```powershell
      Remove-PlexPlaylist -Id 54321 -AlternativeToken $User.Token
      ```

**Copy a playlist from your account to another account (e.g. a friend you have shared content with):**

```powershell
Copy-PlexPlaylist -Id 54321 -Username 'friendusername' -verbose
```

**Copy *all* playlists from your account to another account:**

```powershell
Get-PlexPlaylist | Foreach-Object { Copy-PlexPlaylist -Id $_.ratingKey -Username 'friendusername' }
```

**Copy a single playlist to *all* users:**

```powershell
$Users = Get-PlexUser
$Users | Foreach-Object { Copy-PlexPlaylist -Id 54321 -Username $_.username }
```

**Stop sessions where Safari is being used:**

```powershell
Get-PlexSession | Where-Object { $_.Player.platform -eq 'Safari' } | Stop-PlexSession -Reason 'Use a better browser'
```

# Helper Scripts:

A [repository has been created](https://github.com/robinmalik/PSPlexHelperScripts) designed to host a collection of helper scripts built around this module, for performing tasks that may be useful. Will grow over time.

# Notes:

1. The Plex API has a little inconsistency with the naming of unique indentifiers for certain objects. For example, users have `id` properties, whereas libraries have `key` properties. Other objects have `ratingKey`. This makes passing identifiers sometimes odd/confusing. Please raise an issue if you get stuck.

2. Some functions return data fairly 'raw' - that is, without any helpful formatting to display the most commonly used fields (etc). Some functions however apply formatting rules in `PSPlex.Format.ps1xml`. This may be expanded later.

3. Plex sometimes returns 'JSON' data with keys of the same name, but differing casing (e.g. `Guid` and `guid`, `ratingKey` and `RatingKey`). PowerShell cannot convert this to JSON, so we choose to prepend the lowercase keys with `_`. You'll likely see this when using `Get-PlexItem`.

# Troubleshooting:

> In the event that your token should become invalid and you receive `401` errors, try repeating the installation steps to refresh the token.

> Should you need to delete it (e.g. to regenerate), the configuration file is stored at `$env:appdata\PSPlex\PSPlexConfig.json` on Windows, and `$HOME/.PSPlex/$FileName` on MacOS/Linux.
