[REL] WebTools 2.0

About:

WebTools 2.0 is a collection of utilities to help with the management of your Plex Server. This plugin is not limited to the usual channel interface, instead it utilizes a built in webserver to display a responsive web interface that also works from mobile devices allowing you to manage your Plex Server from any device.

This tool was created by Dagalufh (Frontend) and Dane22 (Backend) with the beta testing from:

• OttoKerner
• sa2000
• trumpy81
• Xandi92

Currently the tools available are:

• Logviewer
• Subtitle Management
• Unsupported AppStore

Logviewer

...

This tool allows for easy viewing of logs related to Plex and it's plugins via an easy to use web interface. The tool also gives you the ability to download them in a .zip file to easily send to a developer of a specific plugin.

Subtitle Management

...

The purpose of this tool is to give the user a way to manage subtitles that are not downloaded by an agent.

Current features:

• View subtitle file to make it easy to see witch file it really is.
• Highlighting the subtitle that is selected as active in Plex for specific Movie or Episode
• Removal of one or more subtitles. Usage is on your own risk as this will delete files on your hard drive.

Unsupported AppStore (UAS)

...

This tool was originally created by mikedm139 and was one of the most popular plugins in the Plex universe. Now, this is included in WebTools 2.0, giving it an easy to use web interface that allows for quick installation/removal/update of plugins.

Installation

Installation of WebTools is sadly a manual process, so here's what to do:

• Download WebTools from GitHub, and select the file named WebTools.bundle.zip.
• Extract it, and make sure, that the extracted directory is named: WebTools.bundle, it must end with .bundle
• Make sure that inside the extracted directory, is a directory named "Contents", and if not, you might be a directory too low or high, if so, reorganize the folders with their contents.
• Locate the plug-in folder of your Plex Media Server. For a support article about where that is, look here: https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/202915258-Where-is-the-Plex-Media-Server-data-directory-located-
• Copy the organised folder from above to the plugin directory

The directory structure should look like this:

Plugins
..|_ WebTools.bundle
....|_ Contents

etc...

Now wait a couple of minutes, and then check in the channels directory to see if you have a channel named WebTools, and If not, then restart the Plex Media Server.

Note:

You can also use the Easy Installer if your Plex Media Server is running on:

* AsuStore

* QNAP

* Synology

Usage

To use this plugin, just type http://<Your-PMS-IP>:33400 into your browsers address bar. It's a good idea to bookmark it.

The initial screen will be different depending on your PMS setup:

• If you are signed in to Plex.tv on your PMS, you use the same credentials here as it authenticates towards Plex.tv
• If you are not signed in to Plex.tv, and it’s your first launch, you are required to set a password to use when accessing WebTools. This can later be changed from within the tool if you need to. On all the consecutive visits to WebTools you will use that password.

After login you are presented with a list of available tools.

LogViewer

When accessing this tool it loads up the Plex Media Server log. You can then via the drop-down select the log you wish to see.

There are no extra preferences available for this tool.

Subtitle Management

When accessing this tool it fetches a list of available libraries and populates a menu at the top.

By selecting one of the libraries, the tool starts to fetch a set amount of data and present it to you.

If it’s a TV library, you can continue moving down the tree until you hit an episode.

You can then select one or more subtitles for removal.

This tool offers some extra preferences other than the default for WebTools:

• Number of items per page (TV Shows, Seasons, Episodes, Movies)
• Hide local subtitles
• Hide integrated subtitles
• Show only multiple subtitles/language
• Show debug in logs

Unsupported AppStore
