lolobored / plex-on-the-go

Backend application serving the frontend project to manage the automatic conversion of a Plex library into smaller sized files to enjoy on-the-go

Plex Frontend

Backend application used to provide services to the AngularJS frontend (https://github.com/lolobored/plex-on-the-go-frontend). It will handle all the behind the scene magic for the complete infrastructure to work and allow user to create automatically a smaller Plex library to enjoy on-the-go.

Goal

The goal of the project is to allow users of the Plex service to create an "on-the-go" local library containing all your favorites tvshows and movies in a reduced size for storing these on a laptop on-the-go.

Features (WIP)

• Identity manager with different level of users (users, administrators) provided through Keycloak (https://www.keycloak.org)
• Selection of movies to convert filterable by:
  • Genre
  • Year
  • IMDB rating
  • Watched status
  • Latest added movies
• Selection of tvshows to convert filterable by:
  • TVShow
  • Year
  • TVDB rating
  • Watched status
  • Latest added episodes

Automatic subscription will be also provided by:

• Selecting a show or its season to automatically convert it as soon as a new episode is added to the library
• Automatically download new entries

Stack

Globally with the backend and the frontend, the stack is:

• Spring Boot 2.0
• Spring Data
• AngularJS 5
• Jackson
• Elastic Search
• Keycloak
• FFMPEGX for the conversion
• Gradle

Configuration

To be updated

Run the project

A docker compose is provided here: https://github.com/lolobored/plex-on-the-go-infrastructure

plex-on-the-go's Issues

Transform PlexUtil and ElasticSearchUtil into services

Add the media fetcher for plex

Now authentication is working, the media fetcher should be able to get every single media from a local plex instance.
Once this list has been build the next step will be to load the information into an Elastic Search instance for later use

Leverage ElasticSearch Spring Data for any search in ElasticSearch

Using that thing which seems quite amazing: VanRoy/spring-data-jest

Use Lombok to clear the code from getter and setter

Ensure to have a proper logging feature

Right now logging is basically inexistent.
It will be needed still once ready and I stop using this with debugging only

Create a proper Readme

Would be good to promote the project once ready

Service movies for the backend

Refactor code to add comments and javadoc

Code is still at an early stage and i've been quite lazy.
Add javadoc and comments

Implement Spring Boot for the backend and Angular JS for the Frontend

Add ffmpeg management through Java to handle video conversion

See https://github.com/bramp/ffmpeg-cli-wrapper for more details

Add Elastic Search feed with movies / episodes

2 documents will be added to Elastic search to the index media:

• movies
• episodes

They are basically the same but episodes have concepts of seasons / tvshows on top of that.

Use Keycloak for authentication

Get utilities function for search of media into elastic search

Objects defined by Jackson should be handling the queries so that it's easier to manipulate

Disabling SSL checks needs to be a global value

The current configuration switching from SSL checks to non-SSL checks is not working.
It needs to be a global parameter in the application
