😋 A Website which helps you to download original files from a plex share (even if you're not allowed to download)
Plex has recently changed how some of its resources are served. Due to CORS restrictions, some features no longer work when running Plexer from GitHub Pages — like direct communication with Plex servers.
This is expected behavior when using HTTPS GitHub-hosted frontend (e.g. https://eliasthecactus.github.io/plexer) to access private or local Plex servers.
You can still use Plexer fully by running it locally via Docker, where CORS isn’t a problem.
- GitHub Pages (HTTPS only)
- Visit: https://eliasthecactus.github.io/plexer/browse
- Requires your Plex server to be publicly accessible via HTTPS and CORS-compliant (e.g., using a reverse proxy).
- Custom HTTP/HTTPS Deployment
- Visit: http://plexer.apps.elias.uno
- Your browser might block requests depending on the CORS policies of your Plex server.
- Local Docker Deployment (Recommended)
docker run --name plexer -p 8080:80 ghcr.io/eliasthecactus/plexer:latestThen open: (http://localhost:8080)[http://localhost:8080] (for HTTP)
- start with project
- make it work
- Add JDownloader suppot for mass download (added link list which can be copied to jdownloader)
- Rewrite in Angular
