This Wiki is a Work in Progress, and will be updated

Examples

This browser extension searches your Plex Media Server (PMS) for matching media on sites like IMDb, letting you immediately open the movie or TV show in Plex, if it is available. If the item isn't found on your PMS, then a download button is added instead.


NZB Managers

Optionally, you can configure NZB Manager (see support table) in the extension's options. After that, you can immediately add a TV show or movie with one click, right from your favorite site.

Ombi

Features

Easy login

You can log into Plex using either an access token, your credentials, or Ombi (if setup).

Download (download icon)

On certain sites (denoted with the "download" icon), the user can choose to save/engage media directly, instead of waiting for their NZB manager to find the item.

Plex It! (plex it icon)

Click the icon to open Plex It! (left sidebar), click it again to add the current item(s) to your list.

It's primary purpose is to provide a watchlist service on sites that don't support watchlists.

Hide Web to Plex (hide icon)

Use this to hide the Web to Plex button. It changes the button's opacity to 10% to make it almost invisible so that it isn't as distracting on sites like Netflix.

Reload Web to Plex (reload icon)

Use this to reload Web to Plex on the current page. This can sometimes fix loading issues or cache errors.

Plex URL

This is a moderately advance setting, but is very useful to know. If you know your Plex server's URL (e.g. https://localhost:32400), then you can specify this and avoid bandwidth usage, as the extension will communicate with Plex on your device instead of https://app.plex.tv/.

Find this | Right Click

If you aren't satisfied with a found item, or it is incorrect, you can right click the page and use the Web to Plex | Find "XYZ" feature to search for the item.

The sites used as search engines (IMDb, TMDb, and TVDb) will automatically create a cached version of the information (for "Local Search" results).

Notes

  • 1 This site uses the Right click | Web to Plex | Save as... feature (file download), or a direct link (usually magnet URL).
  • 2 This site has a loading issue, simply refresh the page if the button doesn't appear.
  • 3 This site doesn't allow media browsing, or requires a subscription beforehand.
  • 4 This site is network intensive (loads slowly). Be patient.
  • 5 This site is known to update frequently, support may change without notice.
  • 6 This site is only supported via a plugin (enabled in the settings)

Requirements

  • Plex Media Server v1.4.3.0 or higher
    • Your server must be functional, as this extension asks it if an item exists!
  • Before using the extension, you must configure the settings
