Plex Tools (python plex api)

I've been migrating my Plex server to a new server and have found a ton of problems with my Plex Music Library, so I thought I'd write some tools to help me clean it up.

Introducing GoshDarned Plex Tools

Tool 1: Song De-Dupe tool

The first problem I had was a ton of songs that for one reason or another I had exact duplicate copies of in my library, so I wrote a tool to 'de-duplicate' the songs.

What's next?

Song Metadata Mismatch fixer

I also notice that sometimes the song that's played is NOT the same as the one Plex matched it to.

My next project will be a 'song metadata mismatch finder' (name pending... lol) I'm going to use the Shazam API to find a match for my songs, then compare the metadata to what is in plex. I'm sure I'll find quite a few mis-matches.

Note

Please let me know if you have any issues, or what you might want to see for tools next by filing a new GitHub Issue.
