Reviews of plex bulk downloader:
It stopped working complete -- giving me the mesage : "Error while fetching album contents."
Jumping jeebuz, why didn't Plex bother with a Select All > Download function? But this extension saved my butt, seriously. We had 131 childhood pics selected into a Playlist/Collection, and no way to bulk download them to print for a presentation/ceremony. This add-on got them in less than a MINUTE. I only used this for photos, so no word on other media types. The tool auto-generated its own sub-folder in the Downloads area, so that was not too terrible, as opposed to asking for the destination folder. That might make a good idea suggestion for later. Actual folder used: C:\Users\{current_user}\Downloads\Plex downloads\Wolfgang Eagle Ceremony Collection\ BOOM!
This extension used to work for me for downloading music playlists, but has gotten increasingly buggy over time. As other reviews have noted, the 'Download Selected' option is greyed out and does not work at all. When downloading whole playlists, the extension used to queue up several downloads simultaneously, but now only goes one track at a time, making everything considerably slower. Recently, the sequence of downloads now completely stops if you click away to any other Chrome tab or window, so this has made the extension a total pain for me. If you're in the middle of downloading a playlist of 100+ songs and then switch Chrome tabs, the extension stops adding tracks to the download queue and you won't be able to pick up where it left off because 'Download Selected' doesn't work. You'll either need to manually download the rest individually, or begin the whole process again while being unable to use Chrome for other browsing while 'Download All' does its thing. Please fix this!
What a lifesaver! Very intuitive and worked well.
Works, but not on playlists, which is why I wanted it in the first place.
After hours of building frustration trying to find the 'download playlist' functionality in Plex, I finally found this extension. Thanks a lot for building it!
My wife and I each have our own Plex account. She will frequently make photo albums of family photos in Plex. In the past, I had no way to download the files put into an album except to manually open my account in one window, her account in another window, find the filename from her album in Plex, download it with my account one photo at a time. Sound confusing? It was and HORRIBLY time consuming! She even had an album with 100 photos in it once. It took FOREVER! With this new plugin I can easily download ALL her photos in 1 click. This is a huge lifesaver for me. Thanks so much!
Every year at this time I always run into the same frustrations when we begin to create a photo book for Christmas presents, I then always happen to stumble onto the same plex forum topic and then am reminded that Plex doesn't have the ability of bulk downloading the album that my wife had already painstakingly created throughout the year of the pics that she wants. This year I noticed that Bermos created this extension and it is a life saver! Only took me 2 minutes to download the entire library my wife made to the pc, and then just a few clicks to upload them all to the photo service. Bravo, and thank you!
Doesn't work for me. I logged in on https://plex.tv and I keep getting this error: Error while fetching album contents. Reopen this popup to try again.
Great extension! Thank you for developing this jewel
Not sure i would call it a bulk downloaded as you still have to download every file independently... but i guess its a cool little app.
Working great to download all files in a "page"... but the "Download selected" option, which is pretty useful if the download stops for whatever reason, is grayed out... :(
It's not working, the download buttons are grey: Getting server info...
Great little extension. If I could request additional functionality it would be to: -Provide the option to take further metadata from the Plex download to the filensame. e.g. currenlty TV servies download in to a 'Show Name'/'Season'/'Episode Name' format, but it would be great if we could add a Season&Episode (e.g. S01E01) section to the filename -The 'download selected' option doesn't seem to work properly -The ability to automatically select a download destination depending on type .e.g. Music to the music folder, TV to the TV folder etc.
Works as advertised! Thanks for building this.
What a life saver! Currently the only way (I've found) to export 'favourite' photos or photo albums from Plex. The repetitive save dialog (you have to click 'save' for every image) is a shame, but it's better than nothing, and easily fixed just by hitting the enter key over and over. The fact that it automatically creates a save folder with the playlist name is a really handy feature, too!
Tremendously helpful to work around a glaring gap in the Photo functionality of Plex Media Server (which otherwise is a rock solid piece of software). There seems to be a bug in the 0.9.1 version with ignoring selections of photos—only "all" can be downloaded with this extension.
