Dynamic Media Library with On-Demand Downloads for Radarr/Sonarr and Plex

## n8n Placeholder for Plex (BETA) This flow creates **dummy files** for every item added in your Arrs (Radarr/Sonarr) with the tag `unprocessed-dummy`. It's useful for maintaining a large Plex library **without needing the actual movies or shows to be present on your Debrid provider**. --- ### How It Works - When a dummy file is played, the corresponding item is automatically **monitored in Arr** and added to the download queue. - This ensures that the content becomes available within **~3 minutes** for playback. - If the content finishes downloading **while the dummy is still being played**, **Tautulli** triggers a webhook that **stops the stream** and notifies the user. --- ### Requirements - Each n8n node must have the correct **URL** and **authorization headers** configured. - The **SSH host** (used to create dummy files) must have **FFmpeg** installed. - A **Trakt.V API key** is required if you're using **Trakt collections**. --- ### Warning > This flow is currently in **BETA** and under active development. > It is **not recommended** for users without technical experience. > Keep an eye on the GitHub repository for updates. https://github.com/arjanterheegde/n8n-workflows-for-plex
