Dynamic Media Library: On-Demand Downloads for Radarr/Sonarr & Plex
Automates dummy file creation for Plex libraries using Radarr/Sonarr tags, triggering real downloads on playback for instant access without full storage.
This n8n workflow, known as Placeholdarr for Plex (BETA), generates placeholder dummy files for media items tagged 'unprocessed-dummy' in Radarr and Sonarr. These dummies populate your Plex library, allowing a vast collection to appear available immediately, even if the actual content isn't downloaded yet. When a user plays a dummy file in Plex, the workflow automatically monitors the item in the respective Arr app, adds it to the download queue, and fetches it from your Debrid provider—typicall
