# plex-poster-optimizer v1.0.2

Ensures Plex Posters are high-quality, e.g. above a minimum height/width threshold.

I found that I wanted to "fix" my Posters after converting from [MyMovies to Plex](https://github.com/nicjansma/mymovies2plex),
as MyMovies had written low-quality (e.g. 510x355 px) DVD box art into a `folder.jpg`, which Plex picked up via
the _Local Media Assets_ instead of a higher-quality source like _The Movie Database_.

As a result, my Plex Posters were a mix of nice, high-res (1000px+) Posters from TMDB and awkward looking low-res DVD box art.

This script scans all of your Plex movies to find Posters underneath the specified threshold, and changes the Poster to other
higher-res options automatically.

## Usage

```
> $ node index.js --help
Options:
--host Plex host [string]
--token Plex token [string]
--section Section titles [string]
--filter Title filter [string]
--pretend Pretend (don't set status) [boolean] [default: false]
--minHeight Minimum height [default: 1000]
--minWidth Minimum width [default: 800]
--provider Poster provider[array] [default: "com.plexapp.agents.themoviedb"]
--max Maximum number to update [default: "-1"]
--help Show help [boolean]
--version Show version number [boolean]
```

### 1. Getting your Plex Token

To run, you'll need to find your Plex Token. You can do this by viewing
any title on your Plex, selecting _Get Info_, then _View XML_. The URL of the
XML file will be something like this:

```
https://plexhost.plex.direct:32400/library/metadata/n?checkFiles=1&includeExtras=1&includeBandwidths=1&X-Plex-Token=abc123
```

Your Plex Token is `abc123` in the above URL.

### 3. Updating Posters

Example:

```
node index.js \
--host myhost \
--token abc123 \
--section Movies \
--provider com.plexapp.agents.themoviedb \
--provider com.plexapp.agents.imdb
```

It's recommended to do this in pretend mode first, to see what it would do

```
node index.js ... --pretend
```
