Notify Plex

74 votes

Notify Plex once a subtitles has been downloaded and automatically ask Plex to refresh the metadata. This is very useful for those using cloud storage where Plex cannot detect new files.

Would love to see that as well. Although with plex autoscan you can do a scan of just the folder (but that would be cumbersome to do it manually). Perhaps it would be an option to notify autoscan, but that might be an unnessacary extra.

for this I have configured a post-processing script that someone posted somewhere, I don't know if it does work but there it is...
curl -sG -X POST -data-urlencode "dir={{directory}}" http://autoscan:3030/triggers/manual

The code is already made on GitHub for sonarr and radar, function might need a little coding adjustment to work for bazarr but you don't have to reinvent the wheel on this one.

@Someguy420 Bazarr is not using the same development language than Sonarr/Radarr. It's not that simple...

This would be a really nice feature to have. I don't run Plex on the same host as my media, so the filesystem monitoring option in it doesn't work, and the Plex autoscan app that's currently being maintained (the one written in Go) only calls the API to do a media scan instead of the metadata refresh that Plex requires to pick up on external subtitle files. So, for existing media, it doesn't actually do anything. There is a metadata refresh endpoint that the Plex API exposes, so it should be doable, but I'm not aware of any existing options that use that endpoint.

Actually this pull request doesn't provide this feature but it integrates Plex so if it will be ok I add reload feature next.
