ninthwalker/nowshowing

Generates an email and web page of Plex recently added content

NowShowing v2

Introduction

The NowShowing docker provides a summary of new media that has recently been added to Plex, giving the Plex owner the option of delivering the information in two ways:

1. An email summary sent to all or selected users of the Plex Server
2. A web page for users to visit

Description / Background

NowShowing is the successor of the popular plexReport docker. The original brainchild of bstascavage. Further developed by NinthWalker & enhanced by GroxyPod, NowShowing adds additional improvements and features in a friendly, easy to install docker.

New in v2:

Complete code rewrite with tons of new features!

• Same great Email/webpage for Plex recently added as v1
• All new Web Interface for settings and customization
• Library Filtering!
• Movie/TV Trailers
• Tautilli Statistics integration
• New user Setup Wizard
• Announcement Emails
• Web based Log Viewer
• Easy Plex token retrieval
• Most email providers supported
• BCC users instead of multiple emails
• Web tools including On-Demand and Test reports

Filtering Users

I don't want to send emails out to every single one of my users. Is this possible?

I thought I could change it in advances.yaml by setting:

plex_user_emails: 'no'
recipients: ['user1', 'user2']

But this still sends to everyone.

admin does not exist

Hi, it's been a while since I last tried to configure NowShowing (v1). I updated the docker image, and tried to access serverip:port/admin but to no avail:

Not Found
`/admin' not found.
WEBrick/1.3.1 (Ruby/2.3.7/2018-03-28)

How can I (re)set this up properly again?

[Request] Reverse Proxy base URL

i'd like to put this behind a reverse proxy but i dont see anywhere to set a base url.

location /nowshowing/ {
    proxy_pass http://172.18.0.1:6878;
    add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
	proxy_set_header Host $host;
	proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
	proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}

FAQ Update

Not strictly an issue but just to let you know that I've tested this against Office365 email instead of Gmail and confirm that it definitely doesn't work with this service (doesn't like the port / security combo).

Office 365 Support?

I'm trying to get this working with Office 365 email (Exchange Online). Here is Microsoft's documentation on getting SMTP running:

https://support.office.com/en-us/article/POP-and-IMAP-settings-for-Outlook-Office-365-for-business-7fc677eb-2491-4cbc-8153-8e7113525f6c?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US

When I replicate this in NowShowing (Port 587 and smtp.office365.com), I get the following error:

root@NAS01:~# docker exec nowshowing combinedreport -t

Platform: Docker running on UnRAID 6.3.3 using latest image of NowShowing.

When I was using PlexEmail back in the day, disabling SSL was the solution for this issue, but that doesn't seem to be an option here. Any thoughts? Anything I can pull for you to help troubleshoot?

Not working with Marvel's The Punisher

Seems that NowShowing doesn't handle 404 errors from theTVDB very well:

D, [2017-11-18T15:21:38.394907 #70] DEBUG -- : Response from thetvdb for query series/329367/all/en.xml: Code: 404.

It's looking for Marvel's The Punisher w/ seriesID 329367, which is wrong. The correct ID is 331980. Not sure whether it gets the ID from Plex, which would be weird because Plex has all the right metadata, or just from a search, but it shouldn't just repeatedly fail on a 404. It should retry X times and then move on.

Allow selection of Libraries to report on

Question: plex_user_emails or not to plex_user_emails?

I think I may be confusing myself here, but my first emailreport ran this morning, and no emails were sent out. I'm starting to wonder how I should have my advanced.yaml file set up. Here's what it looks like now:

plex:
  plex_user_emails: 'no'
mail:
  from: 'me'
  subject: 'New This Week on Plex!'
  recipients_email: ['']
  recipients: ['myusername', 'username1', 'username2']

It was my understanding that by selecting no for plex_user_emails, I could specify exact users to send to using the recipients field, instead of sending to every user I'm friends with. Is that the case? When the report ran (and I know it ran because the logs show it collecting things at the proper time), no emails were generated.

Can I have some guidance on how to set this up? do I need plex_user_emails set to yes? When I ran the report manually using docker exec nowshowing emailreport, it worked as expected, though.

Thanks!

Updating docker template in unRAID doesn't update config.yaml if the file exists

Updating the docker template to change information will not update the config.yaml file if it already exists. This needs to be changed so that the config.yaml file will be updated in the event someone wants to change their configuration.

We will need to add every possible option to the docker template in order to facilitate this.

Possible to edit css on v2

On v1 I've been using an edited version of the CSS file to change some colours to fit with my custom logos. If I use the admin interface (which is a nice addition btw!) if I make any changes then they'll automatically get overwritten if I save anything through the UI, correct?

Is this also true if I pull the latest version of the app through Docker each time?

Is there any way to 'protect' my custom changes?

User-Selectable Polling

Reviewed code to see if we can allow for user-selectable polling of recently added items. Seems do-able but requires time to be entered in seconds. This will require a method of updating the config file so it adds the new line in the event the file already exists. I'll handle the user-selectable polling rate, once complete, an enhancement request will be opened and assigned to ninthwalker for assistance with forcing config update.

Allow User-Selected Email Encryption

Add options to v2.0 interface to allow flexibility on email encryption.

I've also set the normal report to run and obv it timed out as well. All the log files are empty because no report was run. Tried a few users on discord and they suggested an Open Ticket here. Thanks for your time.

Container Variable: EMAIL_BODY_DISPLAY_TITLE Auto-Populates When Blank

If the EMAIL_BODY_DISPLAY_TITLE is left blank, it will auto populate with Now Showing on Plex. This should be changed to reflect the desire to leave the section blank while still outputting the section in the config.yaml due to a requirement of the code.

Current:
email:
title: Now Showing on Plex

Desired:

Empty Library Freezes NowShowing

Please note that I am using the Dev branch as you applied the fixes for failed lookups not failing and moving on.

Looks like having an empty Library in Plex locks up NowShowing. Running with -vvv records this last and it just sits there:

After removing the empty Library from Plex, I ran it again and it completed, with the TVDB API issues that they've been having, but it completed. Looks like some logic for an empty Library may need to be applied. I understand that this is most likely an edge case as most users won't have an empty Library, but I had it created waiting for me to find the appropriate content that I wanted to include in it.

Email password escaped ?

I'm having issue when sending emails. It's telling me the authentication failed, and I can notice the same thing on my mail server logs, clearly it's trying to log in with the wrong info. I'm pretty confident in the settings I'm using since I use the exact same on the same machine from Thunderbird and it's working fine. Since I may or may not have double quotes in my password (and also the username contains an '@' char), I'm wondering if those 2 infos are properly handled / escaped ? Thanks.

Direct Link to plex item

nice app, would use it if the user could click on a plex item and be taken right to the item in plex, like {plexurl} notification tag in plexpy.

Year not being added to movies in email

Everything is running flawlessly, but I'm having a strange issue where the year isn't being added to the email. See the attached screenshot, but the gist is that instead of The Perfect Storm (2000), it shows as The Perfect Storm().

Thoughts on if I'm doing something wrong?

Unable to configure config file.

Hi,

This will be replaced after you run your first report

How do I force the first report?

Possible base image

More base type functionality is needed in the dockerfile.
ie: s6-overlay, user permissions, tzdata & shadow.
Consider making this permanent into our own FROM :base, or using lsio:base-alpine.

Currently 1-7 reporting time is working.

Not All New Unwatched Episodes Showing
