Rule 4 - Keep discussions of "media aqcuistion" limited to means and methods only.

Discussions regarding media acquisition should be limited to the "how" not the "what", as this is not the place to discuss piracy of specific media. There are other communities for that, and we don't want to get this community defederated from instances where it's a forbidden topic. Posts/comments discussing specific acts of piracy ("How do I find X show?" or "Where can I download Y film?")will be removed. For further clarification see this post

Voterr - Democratize Your Movie Nights (voterr.tv)

I'm an unemployed software developer with some time to make things I've wanted to exist.

I just released a web app that lets you log in with your Plex account which imports the movies available in your library, create a voting session, and invite friends to vote on movies. When a movie gets votes from all your friends in the session, it is declared the winner and the session creator will get a link to open the movie in Plex.

I was tired of endlessly scrolling through my movie library whenever it was time to pick a movie. I think this will help.

Here are some screenshots

Voting Session

Check it out if you like the idea. You can reply here or DM if you run into any issues or have any ideas.

Some of my ideas for the next features to add:

  • Filter by watched/unwatched
  • Select genres for the voting session
  • Make popcorn

Another device is attempting to sign in using your Plex account. You should only continue if you know this device and intend to grant it access.

Is there no way to get my library without getting added as a device on my Plex? Though I assume that's some limitation Plex has - as far as I'm aware, there's no scoped authentication options? Looks like an interesting project though, nice work :)
