plexAutoShutdown

plexAutoShutdown is a cool little tool that helps you shut down the computer running your Plex Media Server whenever your stream goes offline. This handy app makes sure your PC gets powered off right after you're done streaming, saving energy and keeping things tidy!

Setting Up plexAutoShutdown

Before you dive in, there are a couple of steps to get plexAutoShutdown up and running. First off, you'll need to install some requirements. Once that's done, it's time to configure your server settings. To stream properly, make sure your Plex server is live and kicking.

Edit Your Configuration File

You’ll want to grab the server's URL and edit that config.ini file. Don't forget to note down the Plex token too! It’s super important for syncing everything smoothly.

Running the Python Script

Once you've set everything up, go ahead and run the Python script. Your program should be ready to roll! The app monitors the computer to see if it’s idle. If Plex's transcoder and session status are both inactive, it will schedule a shutdown based on how long you've set for the delay.

Cancelling Shutdowns with New Sessions

If someone starts a new session or if it becomes active again during the shutdown countdown, no worries—the operation will be canceled automatically!

Tweak Your Settings

You can adjust settings like shutdown delay, max idle time, and other fun variables like interval delays or even emojis in that same config.ini. This means you have control over how everything works!

A Must-Have for Streamers!

PlexAutoShutdown is definitely a must-have for anyone streaming with Plex Media Server. It takes care of powering off your machine when you're finished with your streams. If you're ready to try it out yourself, check out this link for download!
