Usage

This scrobbler relies on Plex webhooks, so a Plex Pass subscription is required.

Configure Webhooks

Configure Plex to send webhooks to the scrobbler.

Add Metadata to Series

In order for the scrobbler to properly identify series and episode numbers, update the "Summary" of each series of each anime you want to scrobble in the following format:

{"myAnimeListID": 34494, "firstEpisode": 1}

where myAnimeListID is the ID of the anime on myanimelist.net, and firstEpisode is the MyAnimeList episode number of the "first" episode of the season in Plex (this helps match the correct episode when MyAnimeList's seasons and Plex's seasons don't line up).
