Autosorting for your Plex+rtorrent setup

[.Lb]

So I purchased a VPS-Plex from SSDAPP for about 10$ a month for 210 GB of space. Unlimited bandwidth with 6GB ram.
It came preloaded with Plex, a media streaming service that has apps for almost everything.
I can now watch movies or stream music from everywhere, my smart TV, my amazon fire tv box, my phone.

Another benefit from this is you can add a torrent and have it feed straight into your plex server, so adding a bunch of tv torrents adds to your plex library as soon as it is completed.

The downside is that this alone is unable to sort your tv episiodes from movies and music. The server out of the box is designed to dump everything into your downloads folder so things get messy quick.

The following file will take care of that for you:
http://mikes-revenge.net/lb/mover.sh

add that to /home/ssdapp/
chmod +x /home/ssdapp/mover.sh

add it to a cron schedule, this will make it run every 10 minutes
env EDITOR=nano crontab -e
*/10 * * * * /home/ssdapp/mover.sh

mkdir -R /home/ssdapp/complete/{movies,music,tele,others}
mkdir /home/ssdapp/unsorted

Now go to your rutorrent and set autotools to automove to the unsorted directory


Now you can create folders in plex to index movies in /movies, televisions shows in /tele and music in /music
The /other directory will be where everything else will dump, like programs you've downloaded that you can FTP to and grab.

I run my plexapp off of a windows server 2012. I just drag and drop everything in a folder on the desktop for easy management.
