JellEmPlex Dedupe

Overview

JellEmPlex Dedupe is a web-based tool designed to help users identify and manage duplicate movies across Jellyfin, Emby, and Plex media servers. The tool identifies duplicates by comparing movie names and production years, then presents detailed information about file sizes, resolutions, codecs, and quality to help you make informed decisions about which copies to keep.

Plex

For Plex, you need to extract the token from your server's configuration:

Automated Token Extraction (Unraid): For Unraid users, you can use my automated Plex Token Extractor script: Get Plex Token for Unraid

This script automatically detects your Plex container and extracts the token - no manual file searching required!

Manual Extraction:

On Unraid:

1. Navigate to your appdata share: /mnt/user/appdata/plex/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/
2. Open the Preferences.xml file
3. Look for the PlexOnlineToken field
4. Copy the token value (example: PlexOnlineToken="lB2sZ2qttaoC6_73zCLg")

On other systems:

• Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%/Plex Media Server/Preferences.xml
• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Preferences.xml
• Linux: /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Preferences.xml

   • Local IP: 192.168.1.100:8096
   • Remote domain: https://jellyfin.yourdomain.com
3. Add API Key: Paste your server's API key or Plex token
4. Save Configuration (optional): Check the box to save these settings for future use
5. Find Duplicates: Click "Find Duplicate Movies" to scan your libraries
