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

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.

Optionally, you can configure Sonarr (TV Shows), Radarr (Movies), Watcher 3 (Movies), and/or CouchPotato (Both) in the extension's options. After that, you can immediately add a TV show or movie to CouchPotato/Sonarr/Radarr with one click, right from your favorite site.

Examples


Features

Easy login

You can log into Plex using either an access token, or your credentials.

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)

This button is used as a watchlist service. Click it to open the Plex It! sidebar (left), click it again to add the current item(s) to the list.

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

Hide Web to Plex (hide icon)

This is used 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 an 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.

Troubleshooting

I can't find my Plex token, what should I do?

Plex offers a detailed guide, explaining where and how you can find your Plex token.

If you still can't seem to find your plex token, then please use the alternative method under Web to Plex Options | Plex Settings | Login | Login Settings and provide your username and password used to login to Plex.

Please note that your credentials won't be saved, only your Plex token.

I have an idea, where can I tell someone?

If you want to request a feature, please make an issue and add "Feature" to the beginning of the title (e.g. "Feature: Support XYZ.com").

I'm having trouble, where can I find help?

If you want to report a bug/problem, please make an issue.
