Here is a pic of my unwatched items taken from Plex Export, I think it’s a pretty cool way of displaying your collection…ĭetails on the Plex forum here and its github page here.

It’s a pretty cool way of viewing your library but again it doesn’t help me with getting a nice text export that includes details on watched/unwatched. Then open the index.html file to view your library export. You can actually edit the cli.php file and permanently change the url if you want. You can leave out the -plex-url argument if the script is being run on the same machine as your library. You do need to have php installed on whatever system you are running Plex Export on though.īefore viewing the exported library you need to run the export script, just run this from a command line: php cli.php -plex-url=

My Plex server is on my HTPC but I also have a Ubuntu based NAS in the house which I use for various things including a webserver so it is perfect of hosting this script (note, you don’t need a webserver to run this script). I really liked this one since you don’t even need to run it on the same machine as your Plex server. Unfortunately I need to be able to filter on ‘watched’ so this didn’t help too much. The built in tools export a simple list of all movie titles in your library. usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex\ Media\ Scanner -refresh -force -item 42 Then the command arguments are the same but the path is different. Note: For Linux systems the commands are very similar but you need to define the library path as an environment variable for each session: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/plexmediaserver

Then run the following command using the section number of your Movies, or TV, or whatever you want to export: "Plex Media Scanner.exe" -list -section 1 > Movie_List.txt Open command prompt in Plex Media Server folder and use following command to get a list of your ‘sections’: "Plex Media Scanner.exe" -list Using Plex’s built in command line commands… I wanted to make a list of my owned movies in Excel (for reasons we’ll not bother going into now) so after much Googling I managed to find a way to pull a list from Plex from here, documenting it here so that I can come back to it later if I need to.
