For the controller, use a linux VM (Debian installed w/ minimal resources), or an old laptop w/ Ubuntu or a raspberry pi w/ Jessie...or something similar. You also may need to login to your Plex server and add the IP of the controller in Settings -> Server -> Advanced Settings -> Network, under "List of IP addresses and networks that are allowed without auth". Then download this repo to your users home folder and follow this guide:
1. Install [python plex api](https://github.com/pkkid/python-plexapi)
2. Edit the pseudo_config.py file to add your server URL / Plex token ([how to find it](https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/204059436-Finding-an-authentication-token-X-Plex-Token)).
2. Move the "pseudo_config-sample.py" file to "pseudo_config.py" and edit it to add your server URL / Plex token ([how to find it](https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/204059436-Finding-an-authentication-token-X-Plex-Token)). Also add the client host to the "plexClients" variable. The default for a RasPlex client is "RasPlex".
3. Run the database loader to gather the necessary information about your Plex library and generate local DB (run as many times as needed. May take a while.):
