Export Plex library titles via Node

README.md

I wanted to export all titles from the Plex library on my Mac and couldn't find a good tool.

This is a tiny, quick-and-dirty Node JS script, using node-plex-api.

It assumes you have node and npm installed.

Then just download this "script.js" and run:

npm install plex-api --save
node script.js your_plex_username your_plex_password > plex.txt

script.js

const PlexAPI = require("plex-api");
const client = new PlexAPI({hostname: "127.0.0.1", username: process.argv[2], password: process.argv[3]})

client.query("/library/sections").then(function (data) {
  data.MediaContainer.Directory.forEach(function(section) {
    client.query("/library/sections/"+section.key+"/all").then(function (data2) {
      console.log("# " + section.title)
      data2.MediaContainer.Metadata.forEach(function(item) {
        console.log(item.title)
      })
      console.log("\n")
    })
  })
})
