Brock G (ID: 000000f54d4630ed) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 01/25/2017 Doesn't quite work. I have a lot of series. When I view them, it doesn't have cover art, and is missing most of the shows. The add series button does not work at all.

Ken B (ID: 0000009c5d801a40) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 01/06/2017 Hey Dan, Interesting addon. I found different behavior when using local or the plex/app URLs. For example, all posters were visible using plex/app, but they were all empty when viewing through localhost:port. No matter which link I used, the "Add Series" button did not seem to work. I like the idea here, but why not just use the sonarr channel for plex which already lets you manage sonarr through plex?
