While Plex on its own is fine, the real fun comes from customizing your experience with plugins, turning the platform into your personal DeLorean of streaming. It'll benefit anyone who uses your Plex library, too, like installing better search tools or a request system.

WebTools-NG gives you the power to not only manage your plugins, but gain access to more through the Unofficial App Store (UAS). Beyond that, WebTools-NG also acts as your hub for maintaining Plex's backend, such as the server itself and your content. It even allows you to access specific media libraries, which is handy if you have a music collection on Plex separated from movies and TV shows.

Whenever you want to add subtitles to your content, Bazarr does all the heavy lifting. It's particularly handy if you watch foreign films or, like me, prefer subtitled anime to dubbed. You just specify the languages you want, and Bazarr does the rest!

Can you imagine manually checking hundreds of media items? That's exhausting when your server starts to grow. Tdarr is like your personal Plex doctor, diagnosing transcoding problems and noting corrupt files with pretty darn good accuracy. In other words, it does most of the tedious work for you.
