Plex Scanner and BMT Agent for SageTV

[wildgoose]

The new two way sync tool is available for download at the github location:
https://github.com/ai7/sagetv-for-pl...enter/releases

I added some documentation about the tool here:
https://github.com/ai7/sagetv-for-pl...ki/synctool.md

Give it a try and let me know how it works for you!

Just did a quick test, but it's working very well. Well done!

I think I'm going to set this up as a crontab in SJQ and have it run every hour or so.

Glad to hear!

The next task is to see if I can do search on PLEX side so we can update shows on demand. Will try to find some time next week to look at this...

Now that would be fantastic. If a sync could be triggered each time playback stops on a particular recording, and only sync that particular recording (instead of having to sync everything).

Does anyone else have a problem with their Plex folder becoming very very large?

I've only been using Plex for a short time, but the "Plex Media Server" folder is over 400MB.

The biggest folders in here are:
Metadata - 229MB
Cache - 86MB
Logs - 32MB

Now here's the odd thing. I only have 3 recordings currently in Plex (3 episodes of Fargo).

I typically delete a show once I'm done watching it. But Plex seems to keep all the old metadata around.

Any idea how to clean up the folder automatically? I saw that other people online have a similar problem, but I checked most of the settings they say to check, and they all seem to be what they should be.

400MB seems a bit ridiculous just for 3 media files.

[wildgoose]

In the PLEX web UI, there should be an option to "clean bundle", and "empty trash" (It should be on the context menu of the library in the main page...)

Check out this link for some info:
https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/art...ibrary-Actions

[peternm22]

Thanks for the tip. I already tried clean trash and it didn't help. But the Clean Bundles option cut the size of the folder by more than half.

I also just noticed that the Plex Scheduled Task to clean things up was set to run at a time when my server is usually offline.

Thanks again!

I don't understand how I am suppose to install the Plex Scanner. I downloaded the zip file and extracted its contents, but what do I do with:

install\win32\sageplex_install.exe -i

I use Windows 7 pro 64 bit. The directions just say run the appropriate installer which I assume is install\win32\sageplex_install.exe -i, but I don't know how I am suppose to use that. I tried to do the manual install, but I don't know what to do with step 6 where it says to "Edit this file with the appropriate SageTV/PLEX settings". Could someone tell me how to use "install\win32\sageplex_install.exe -i". Thanks.

After you've installed the scanner, start up Plex and create a new category called "SageTV Recordings" (or whatever you want). Add the paths for your SageTV recordings directories into the category and select "SageTV Scanner" for the Scanner and "SageTV BMT Agent (TV Shows)" for the agent. Click Save and wait for Plex to scan your media. That's it!

Ha ha! You had it right to begin with. Just run

install\win32\sageplex_install.exe -i

and it should install. The SageTV agent and scanner should show up in Plex after that. Make sure you shut down both Plex and SageTV (server and/or service) before you run the install command though.

You need to run the sageplex_install.exe program on the command line, and pass in the -i option on the command line, telling it this is an install.

But no worry, I've just updated the download package to include a wrapper run_install.bat script. You can simply double click on this from explorer, and it'll start the installer and pass in the parameter automatically. No need to fiddle with the command line.

Thank you very much. I'm a bit computer illiterate and I don't really know much about running things using the command line. I'll give this a try tonight and hopefully I can get this running correctly.

I still can't get this to install. Please see the attached screen shot and see if it gives you guys an idea of what I'm doing wrong. The screen shot shows what I get when I try to run the batch file. Thanks.

You did not download the right files. You seem to have download the source code package, not the distribution. Because of this, you do not have the windows executables required to install and run on windows. You should be downloading the "sagetv-for-plexmediacenter-v*-*.zip" file from the projects Releases page here: https://github.com/ai7/sagetv-for-pl...enter/releases

Hi, I've just tried this, and am almost there, but it seems Plex is not getting the correct Metadata from Sage. Here is an excerpt of bmttvagentshows.log. Most of the shows are coming up in Plex as Phil Spencer Secret Agent.

Anyone any ideas please?

I'm using SageTV7 with a new Plex install. The Plex install is running as a docker on UnRaid.

Thanks!

Click Save and wait for Plex to scan your media. That's it!

What about the static movies and TV shows I have saved under Plex and use as "media" within Sage? If I change those scanners to Sage and away from the default Plex scanners, will Plex still grab the media art and descriptions properly anymore?

1. Download the sagex.zip file
2. Unzip the zip file into SageTV\SageTV\sagex\services
3. plex.js should be listed

This is not correct, since if you do that, the files will be in SageTV\SageTV\sagex\services\sagex\services.

It should be unzipped into SageTV\SageTV\ instead.

The google code site is not the current version of this. I don't believe it's been maintained for a couple years. Really, most of this entire thread is obsolete, and needs to be purged.

I didn't realize that. Normally the first post of a thread is updated. Is it github now?
