Plex ​

Plex is optional. Without it, Fetcharr still downloads and files episodes; you just refresh the library yourself. With it, Fetcharr refreshes the right section after every sync that downloaded something.

Point Fetcharr at Plex ​

In Settings, set your Plex server URL and token, then Load sections and pick the TV library section. Auto-discover finds a Plex server on your network the same way Plex's own apps do (a protocol called GDM).

The token ​

  • Auto-detect reads PlexOnlineToken from Plex's Preferences.xml, which only works when Plex runs on the same host and you've bind-mounted the file (PLEX_PREFS_PATH; see Configuration).
  • Otherwise paste the token manually; grab it from app.plex.tv or Plex's own support article on finding your token.

Refresh ​

After any sync that saved a file, Fetcharr refreshes the configured section so new episodes appear without waiting for Plex's own scan interval. Refresh Plex now triggers it on demand.

Where the files land ​

Downloads write under your media root using each show's folder and season template (Following shows); Plex reads them as an ordinary TV library.
