Random Plex Movie

Python App which chooses a random movie from your Plex Library. Also you can send a watch request to Plex Client with the chosen movie.

Needed stuff

• Python 3

cd Random-Plex-Movie

2. Install required libraries:

   Windows

4. Run Python file with this command

   Windows (CMD)

   This will start local web server on port 4000 and open Chrome App. If the port is colliding with something, you can change it in this line:

   

   After closing the app window, the program will stop running. You can change it by deleting argument "close_callback" in this line:

   

   If you run into the OSError: Can't find Google Chrome/Chromium installation error, in the config file, change useCustomPath to True and specify the file path leading to your Chrome installation directory by changing path.
