This program builds and manages TV and Movie playlists on your Plex server. It can interleave episodes from multiple shows, import movie lists, backup playlists for later editing, copy playlists between Plex users, print library/playlist contents to text files. 

As a bonus, it can be used to trigger directory scans on your server that focus on specific direcotries instead of the whole library. I find this useful because sometimes scans can last hours, and I just want to scan one folder. 

CPPM.py can run on any Windows, Mac or Linux PC that is connected to the same network as the device running your Plex server. It is a simple Python script that uses the plexapi package, runs in a terminal, and requires a little bit of setup before use. 

Even though this is a command line program, I assure you it is easy to use.

The video of this program is the instructional video that I made. 

Since that video was published many changes have been made:

CHANGELOG
v1.1
-Moved user entered values out of CPPM.py, and into data.py.
-Added optional TMDB_KEY to user entered values. 
-Added option on main menu to setup the script (enter the user entered values).
-Added option to search TMDB to cross reference with your library, and build a movie playlist that way. User will need to sign up for TMDB (free) and get an API KEY from them to use this.
-Added the ability to create movie COLLECTIONS at the end of playlist creation.
-Added the ability to select a range of movies when bulding a movie playlist.
-Added the ability to remove movies from a playlist. 
-Added the ability to add multiple followup series in a TV playlist, at one time with multiple numbers, or a range. 
-Added the ability to add multiple specials in a TV playlist, at one time with multiple numbers, or a range. 
-When adding followup series, changed "Y to continue" to leave blank, so it is easier to skip the trim section.
