Tip #1:

You can run the command plexlibrary from anywhere to run through each recipe you have in /opt/python-plexlibrary/recipes/

---

Tip #2:

Set "--skip-links": null in your /opt/cloudplow/config.json to ignore the symlink warnings and stop cloudplow triggering unnecessarily.

"rclone_extras": {
    "--checkers": 16,
    "--drive-chunk-size": "64M",
    "--stats": "60s",
    "--transfers": 8,
    "--verbose": 1,
    "--skip-links": null
  },

---

Tip #3:

Set the path in the recipes for the source_libraries as follows:

# Source library details
source_libraries:
    # [Cloudbox] 'name' = Plex library name.
  - name: 'Filme'
    # [Cloudbox] 'folders' = Plex library path (i.e '/data/...').
    folders:
      - '/data/Movies/Movies/'

The plex docker container has set "/mnt/unionfs/Media/" to "/data/" . Keep that in mind when setting the path.

---

Tip #4:

If you've deleted a library after creating one with a recipe, make sure to delete the corresponding folder in Google Drive to ensure you can make it again in the future without issue. For example, one could be found in Media\Movies\Movies-1001_Must_See

---

Tip #5:

Formatting for multiple source libraries.

source_libraries:
  - name: 'Library1' # as set in Plex
    folders:
      - '/path/inside/library' # as set in Plex
      - '/another/path/inside/the/same/library' # only if the plex library also has another path listed under it.
  - name: 'A completely different Library' # as set in Plex
    folders:
      - '/path/within/this/different/library' # as set in Plex
