Fixing Plex's old and simple UI.
PerPlexed is a complete redesign of Plex's UI using the Plex media server's API. It comes with its own web server. As the keen eye may notice, the UI is heavily inspired by Netflix's UI. It is currently only developed for desktops and laptops. It is not optimized for mobile or TV use.
PerPlexed currently supports Movie and TV Show libraries. You can also play media via the interface.
It is currently not possible to edit media metadata or switch between different Plex servers. The "+" and Star buttons on the info pages for shows and movies are placeholders and are currently not functional.
Mind that this project is still in development and may be unstable.
The easiest way to run PerPlexed is to use Docker. You can use the following command to run PerPlexed in a Docker container:
docker run --name perplexed -p 3000:3000 -e PLEX_SERVER=http://your-plex-server:32400 ipmake/perplexed| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| PLEX_SERVER | string | Yes | The url to your plex server starting with http(s) |
| DISABLE_PROXY | true/false | No | Disable the PerPlexed proxy (Not Recommended) |
| DISABLE_TLS_VERIFY | true/false | No | Disable TLS verification on https plex servers |
