Plex

Optional Step

This step is completely optional, and only those with Plex media servers should continue.

As a Media Server, Plex can serve as an Episode Data Source, Image Source, and as a location where Title Cards are uploaded to.

  1. Under the Plex section, click the Add Connection button.

  2. Give this Connection some descriptive name - e.g. Plex - and enter the root URL to your Plex server including the port.

    Example URL

    Although your local IP address will obviously be different, this IP should be like http://192.168.0.29:32400/.

  3. Follow these instructions and copy the X-Plex-Token value.

  4. Back within TitleCardMaker, paste the X-Plex-Token from Step 3 into the Token input box.

  5. If you use Kometa (formerly PMM) episode overlays, toggle the Integrate with Kometa checkbox.

  6. Click Create. TCM will reload the page.

  7. If you would like to utilize Webhooks or Tautulli to quickly create and load Cards into Plex for new or watched content, see here.

The above process can be repeated for as many Plex Media Servers as you have. I do recommend specifying a unique name for each Connection so they can be easily distinguished within the UI.
