Installing autoscan via github

STEP 1: Basic installation.

1. type in: ansible-role pgscan to deploy the pgscan.
2. now install: pwgen. sudo apt-get install pwgen

---

Edit default config.json file

I recommend using the CloudCMD to easily editing the config.json file. We have to change some lines in here from the default configs.

1. cd /opt/appdata/plex_autoscan/config
2. now lets just generate a 32 length server passcode for the pgscan server. type pwgen 32 1 now you should get something like this: eFaeBiu0Chae7theeKeFaeBiu0Chae7theeK copy this to a safe place for now.
3. now lets edit the config.json file: nano config.json
4. on line 49 (in cloudcmd) put in the 32 key "password" you created in step 2. - from this: "SERVER_PASS": "", - to this: "SERVER_PASS": "eFaeBiu0Chae7theeKeFaeBiu0Chae7theeK", or whatever your key is from step 2!!!!
5. now replace the SERVER_PATH_MAPPING with this: "SERVER_PATH_MAPPINGS": { "/unionfs/movies/": [ "/unionfs/movies/" ], "/unionfs/tv/": [ "/unionfs/tv/" ] },
6. now we need to replace SERVER_FILE_EXIST_PATH_MAPPINGS with this: "SERVER_FILE_EXIST_PATH_MAPPINGS": { "/mnt/unionfs/movies/": [ "/unionfs/movies/" ], "/mnt/unionfs/tv/": [ "/unionfs/tv/" ] },
7. on line 47 the SERVER_IP should be this: "SERVER_IP": "0.0.0.0",
8. on line 5 change to this: "PLEX_DATABASE_PATH": "/opt/appdata/plex/database/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-in Support/Databases/com.plexapp.plugins.library.db",
9. put in your plex token at line 24 "PLEX_TOKEN": "TOKEN",

PGScan PlexToken

Simple, create a token by following the instructions. Enter your plex info and it will generate a token for you! The username IS NOT CASE-SENSITIVE! If you get any errors, a token will never be generated.

PGScan Library Setup

As warned from the start, take your time. Anytime you change your library in the future, you may have to run through this again AND relaunch PGScan to update the program to the new library scheme!

STEP 1: Your Plex Library

Prepare to copy down your library for the next step. This is very important in that you must put in exactly what it is that you have. On purpose, this is a bad setup so you know what to type. In STEP 2, you will see what you have to put in this case!

STEP 2: Setting Up Your Library

You may enter your Library out of order and on purpose, leave out some. You just have to ensure that it is correct the first time. If not, it will throw a bunch of errors at you! Observe the picture below.

STEP 3: Library Endstate

So on purpose, I put them out of order and made an odd library scheme, but the point is so you get the idea of what right looks like. As long as it matches!

WILL IMPROVE

Note for Now: Just follow the prompts. Ensure that your library matches what you want. Does not have to be in order of your library!

WARNING: Be aware this only works on libraries who used the UNIONFS mount, not plexdrive. PlexDrive is read-only!

Using the command pgscan will automatically scan your content and pick the best rated score to assist you. After deploying it, you can modify the scoring system at /opt/appdata/pgscan
