Installation instructions

I'm running the latest version of the TubeArchivist Plex Integration Scanner and Agent. I have read the latest release notes and installation instructions.

Operating System

UGREEN NAS (Docker)

Your installation or setup question

I have installed both the scanner and the agent based on the instructions, and Plex allows me to select them when I make my youtube library. However, Plex is not showing any videos downloaded via tube archivist. There are also no logs produced, however Plex is giving related errors in the console.

Here is my Tubearchivist docker-compose file:

version: '3.5'

services:
tubearchivist:

Relevant log output

The '--refresh' operation is deprecated and will be removed in future versions of Plex Media Server.

I have spent 2 hours trying to find a solution to this issue, 5 minutes after submitting an issue I fixed it, lol. I discovered a 'mod' for Plex that actually installs all the stuff you need automatically (as long as you are using the Linuxserver.io version of the docker container), and now it works beautifully. https://github.com/Ogglord/plex-tubearchivist
