Plex Integration

Plex Integration

Plex is optional.

Censorarr can process mounted media without Plex.

What Plex adds

• content-rating filtering
• playback-aware start gating
• optional library refresh after processing

Basic settings

Typical values:

Plex URL:        http://PLEX-SERVER-IP:32400
Movies library: Movies
TV library:     TV Shows

The Plex token is best saved through the Censorarr UI. Environment-variable fallback is also supported.

Rating filters

Movies default example:

rating_filter:
  enabled: false
  source: plex
  minimum: PG-13
  include_unrated: false

TV default example:

tv:
  rating_filter:
    minimum: TV-14

Enable rating filtering only if Plex metadata is reliable enough for your library.

Path mappings

Plex may report host/NAS paths that differ from paths inside Censorarr.

Example:

plex_path_mappings:
  - from: /volume1/Movies
    to: /media

TV:

plex_path_mappings:
  - from: /volume1/TV Shows
    to: /tv

from is the path Plex reports.

to is the path Censorarr uses inside its container.

Playback-aware gating

plex_activity:
  pause_when_streaming: true

This prevents a new automatic job from starting while Plex has active video playback.

It does not terminate a movie that is already being transcribed.

Refresh after processing

plex_activity:
  refresh_after_processing: true

Use this if you want Plex to refresh after Censorarr changes a media file.

If Plex is disabled

Leave Plex-specific features disabled. Censorarr still scans and processes the mounted files normally.
