Description

This would work if I can query an existing Plex database for a specificied path (movie or TV). Then only use those in the local db using the original VideoFE format. The idea is that the user just needs to copy directory trees to a USB stick and then use VideoLib to parse out a local db from the associated Plex db from whence those trees came. It allows reuse of the Plex data in a simplified format.

Here are some links to review:
  1. Plex Web API Overview
  2. Plex export - for exporting data from the db
  3. Plex Media Server URL Commands
  4. Using the API to retrieve Library metadata

It isn't clear what version I'm running or which version these links support.
