Python-PlexAPI ============== .. image:: https://readthedocs.org/projects/python-plexapi/badge/?version=latest :target: http://python-plexapi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/?badge=latest .. image:: https://travis-ci.org/pkkid/python-plexapi.svg?branch=master :target: https://travis-ci.org/pkkid/python-plexapi .. image:: https://coveralls.io/repos/github/pkkid/python-plexapi/badge.svg?branch=master :target: https://coveralls.io/github/pkkid/python-plexapi?branch=master .. image:: https://img.shields.io/github/tag/pkkid/python-plexapi.svg?label=github+release :target: https://github.com/pkkid/python-plexapi/releases .. image:: https://badge.fury.io/py/PlexAPI.svg :target: https://badge.fury.io/py/PlexAPI .. image:: https://img.shields.io/github/last-commit/pkkid/python-plexapi.svg :target: https://img.shields.io/github/last-commit/pkkid/python-plexapi.svg Overview -------- Unofficial Python bindings for the Plex API. Our goal is to match all capabilities of the official Plex Web Client. A few of the many features we currently support are: * Navigate local or remote shared libraries. * Perform library actions such as scan, analyze, empty trash. * Remote control and play media on connected clients, including `Controlling Sonos speakers`_ * Listen in on all Plex Server notifications. Installation & Documentation ---------------------------- .. code-block:: python pip install plexapi Documentation_ can be found at Read the Docs. .. _Documentation: http://python-plexapi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ Getting a PlexServer Instance ----------------------------- There are two types of authentication. If you are running on a separate network or using Plex Users you can log into MyPlex to get a PlexServer instance. An example of this is below. NOTE: Servername below is the name of the server (not the hostname and port). If logged into Plex Web you can see the server name in the top left above your available libraries. .. code-block:: python from plexapi.myplex import MyPlexAccount account = MyPlexAccount('<USERNAME>', '<PASSWORD>') plex = account.resource('<SERVERNAME>').connect() # returns a PlexServer instance If you want to avoid logging into MyPlex and you already know your auth token string, you can use the PlexServer object directly as above, but passing in the baseurl and auth token directly. .. code-block:: python from plexapi.server import PlexServer baseurl = 'http://plexserver:32400' token = '2ffLuB84dqLswk9skLos' plex = PlexServer(baseurl, token) Usage Examples -------------- .. code-block:: python # Example 1: List all unwatched movies. movies = plex.library.section('Movies') for video in movies.search(unwatched=True): print(video.title) .. code-block:: python # Example 2: Mark all Game of Thrones episodes watched. plex.library.section('TV Shows').get('Game of Thrones').markWatched() .. code-block:: python # Example 3: List all clients connected to the Server. for client in plex.clients(): print(client.title) .. code-block:: python # Example 4: Play the movie Cars on another client. # Note: Client must be on same network as server. cars = plex.library.section('Movies').get('Cars') client = plex.client("Michael's iPhone") client.playMedia(cars) .. code-block:: python # Example 5: List all content with the word 'Game' in the title. for video in plex.search('Game'): print('%s (%s)' % (video.title, video.TYPE)) .. code-block:: python # Example 6: List all movies directed by the same person as Elephants Dream. movies = plex.library.section('Movies') die_hard = movies.get('Elephants Dream') director = die_hard.directors[0] for movie in movies.search(None, director=director): print(movie.title) .. code-block:: python # Example 7: List files for the latest episode of The 100. last_episode = plex.library.section('TV Shows').get('The 100').episodes()[-1] for part in last_episode.iterParts(): print(part.file) .. code-block:: python # Example 8: Get audio/video/all playlists for playlist in plex.playlists(): print(playlist.title) .. code-block:: python # Example 9: Rate the 100 four stars. plex.library.section('TV Shows').get('The 100').rate(8.0) Controlling Sonos speakers -------------------------- To control Sonos speakers directly using Plex APIs, the following requirements must be met: 1. Active Plex Pass subscription 2. Sonos account linked to Plex account 3. Plex remote access enabled Due to the design of Sonos music services, the API calls to control Sonos speakers route through https://sonos.plex.tv and back via the Plex server's remote access. Actual media playback is local unless networking restrictions prevent the Sonos speakers from connecting to the Plex server directly. .. code-block:: python from plexapi.myplex import MyPlexAccount from plexapi.server import PlexServer baseurl = 'http://plexserver:32400' token = '2ffLuB84dqLswk9skLos' account = MyPlexAccount(token) server = PlexServer(baseurl, token) # List available speakers/groups for speaker in account.sonos_speakers(): print(speaker.title) # Obtain PlexSonosPlayer instance speaker = account.sonos_speaker("Kitchen") album = server.library.section('Music').get('Stevie Wonder').album('Innervisions') # Speaker control examples speaker.playMedia(album) speaker.pause() speaker.setVolume(10) speaker.skipNext() Running tests over PlexAPI -------------------------- Use: .. code-block:: bash tools/plex-boostraptest.py with appropriate arguments and add this new server to a shared user which username is defined in environment veriable `SHARED_USERNAME`. It uses `official docker image`_ to create a proper instance. For skipping the docker and reuse a existing server use .. code-block:: bash python plex-boostraptest.py --no-docker -username USERNAME --password PASSWORD --server-name NAME-OF-YOUR-SEVER Also in order to run most of the tests you have to provide some environment variables: * `PLEXAPI_AUTH_SERVER_BASEURL` containing an URL to your Plex instance, e.g. `http://127.0.0.1:32400` (without trailing slash) * `PLEXAPI_AUTH_MYPLEX_USERNAME` and `PLEXAPI_AUTH_MYPLEX_PASSWORD` with your MyPlex username and password accordingly After this step you can run tests with following command: .. code-block:: bash py.test tests -rxXs --ignore=tests/test_sync.py Some of the tests in main test-suite require a shared user in your account (e.g. `test_myplex_users`, `test_myplex_updateFriend`, etc.), you need to provide a valid shared user's username to get them running you need to provide the username of the shared user as an environment variable `SHARED_USERNAME`. You can enable a Guest account and simply pass `Guest` as `SHARED_USERNAME` (or just create a user like `plexapitest` and play with it). To be able to run tests over Mobile Sync api you have to some some more environment variables, to following values exactly: * PLEXAPI_HEADER_PROVIDES='controller,sync-target' * PLEXAPI_HEADER_PLATFORM=iOS * PLEXAPI_HEADER_PLATFORM_VERSION=11.4.1 * PLEXAPI_HEADER_DEVICE=iPhone And finally run the sync-related tests: .. code-block:: bash py.test tests/test_sync.py -rxXs .. _official docker image: https://hub.docker.com/r/plexinc/pms-docker/ Common Questions ---------------- **Why are you using camelCase and not following PEP8 guidelines?** This API reads XML documents provided by MyPlex and the Plex Server. We decided to conform to their style so that the API variable names directly match with the provided XML documents. **Why don't you offer feature XYZ?** This library is meant to be a wrapper around the XML pages the Plex server provides. If we are not providing an API that is offerered in the XML pages, please let us know! -- Adding additional features beyond that should be done outside the scope of this library. **What are some helpful links if trying to understand the raw Plex API?** * https://github.com/plexinc/plex-media-player/wiki/Remote-control-API * https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/104353/pms-web-api-documentation * https://github.com/Arcanemagus/plex-api/wiki
