Popular Plex

This script is designed to run weekly, generating collections in Plex of most popular Movies and Television based on the data from the Tautulli API. It uses the python-plexapi package and requests. It provides two options for login, Server/Access Token or Username/Password/Server, access token is preferred and when set username/password/server can be blank.

The idea behind this project was to recreate Netflix's 'What's Popular' list
