LocastPlexTuner

Overview

This is a full port of the https://github.com/tgorgdotcom/locast2plex Python library.

Under heavy development

This repository is currently a temporary name and the codeset is being heavily revised, refactored, and updated to clean-up anything that's out-dated at this point. Feel free to Clone / Fork, but just be aware that things are going to keep drastically changing until a few more bugs are ironed out.

Known Issues

• av_interleaved_write_frame(): Broken pipe and Error writing trailer of pipe:1: Broken pipe errors on some streams
• Sports currently get considered as Movies. May need to create a new Plex Agent to fix this.
• No current way to view Tuner stats (which is tuned to what, how many bytes transferred, etc.)
• Domain and DTOs still need more cleanup and refactoring
• Unit Tests would be splendid

Why the port of Locast2Plex?

I was having issues with that solution working properly, and have no clue how to efficiently debug Python, so it was just faster to translate it into a language / framework I'm familiar with.

How do I use it?
