Import film watchlist into Plex

Usage

  1. Make sure you have Python installed.

  2. Download the main.py file in the repository and install, in the same directory, PlexAPI and tqdm.

    pip install plexapi tqdm

  3. Edit user and token with your Plex user and your Plex token.

  4. Edit the url so that you have a working API that returns a list of movies that have title and release_year as parameters, among others. If they have them but with a different name, edit them. If you edit <your_user> with your Letterboxd user, it will automatically provide a list taken from your Letterboxd watchlist.

  5. Run the script: python main.py

Known errors

Search

The account.searchDiscover is not accurate, does not, often, perform searches correctly, and gives wrong or repeated results.

Debug

Errors should be shown in the file "errors.txt". The most common error is "Film name" is already on the watchlist, in that case don't worry: it is simply saying that the movie you are trying to add to the list is already there.
