Plex connection

Find these under System > Plex connection.

Plex accountCopy Anchor Link

Pulsarr reads watchlists through the Plex account that owns your server. To link a different account, select Relink with Plex and approve Pulsarr on plex.tv, or Paste a token if you already have one.

Unlink removes the account. Watchlist syncing stops until you link again, and your requests and settings stay.

Plex serverCopy Anchor Link

Connection starts on Automatic, which lets Pulsarr pick the best connection to your server. Choose Address to enter it yourself. Test connection checks it.

Skip content already on Plex skips requests for titles your server already has. Servers shared with you count only for the admin's own watchlist.

Plex live connection shows whether Pulsarr is getting live updates from your server. While it's down, Pulsarr polls Plex instead.

Watchlist feedsCopy Anchor Link

With Plex Pass, Pulsarr watches two RSS feeds, Your watchlist feed and Friends' watchlist feed, so new watchlist items arrive within seconds. Without Plex Pass, Pulsarr checks each watchlist about every five minutes. Generate feeds asks Plex for the feed URLs. Generate again asks for new ones and replaces the old ones.

Sync watchlists reads your and your friends' watchlists from Plex again.

Plex library refreshCopy Anchor Link

Sonarr and Radarr can tell Plex to refresh its library after they import something. Set up adds that Plex Media Server connection to every Sonarr and Radarr instance, and Remove takes it off all of them, including ones added by hand.

The Plex connection Pulsarr adds uses the host, port and SSL setting of your Address, or of the connection Automatic picked. An address without a port gets 443 with SSL and 80 without.
