Windows support?

[scjohnson1988]

Does this script work on databases in the Windows version of Plex? It took me a bit of troubleshooting/getting the progressbar and running everything with python2, but I am getting the below error running the script

Analyzing Plex database: Traceback (most recent call last): File "./perplex.py", line 125, in <module> movies = build_db(args.plex) File "./perplex.py", line 43, in build_db year = row[2].split('-')[0]
I copied the database onto a Raspberry pi and re-ran it, but I'm getting the same errors.

Could you provide the full traceback of the Python error? It appears that the issue is occurring on line 43, but the error message is not visible.

As a side note, I am not actively maintaining this code as it has been inactive for years. If a significant change is required, I may not have the time to address it. Hopefully, only a quick fix is necessary.

I'm not very familiar at all with Python, so I just captured the command and output. Image below is what I'm getting.

Try the newest build, it should work with a windows PMS
There could be a change that you need to make here:

perplex/perplex.py

Line 108 in 8fafe1d

dest, garbage = str(_).rsplit("/", 1)

to
dest, garbage = str(_).rsplit("\\", 1)

Note:
when providing a direction in the arguments, you cant provide a directory with a space in it
like
%localappdata%\Plex Media Server\Plug-in Support\Databases
wont work, because Plex media server contains spaces.
just copy over the database folder to a directory like C:\Users\USER\PMS_Database
and it should work
