Logo Important Notice

The Plex Webclient version 3.104.1 and above no longer provides a graphical interface to operate ExportTools with.

Ref: https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-web/20528/282

When using Plex Webclient version 3.104.1 and above you MUST update ExportTools to version 2.0.0.1 or above.

ExportTools version 2.0.0.1 works with all versions of the Plex Webclient, so if running ExportTools v2.0.0.1 with a lower version of the Webclient, you can use the normal GUI as explained in this Wiki, and if using a newer Webclient, read ahead.


To use ExportTools with Webclient 3.104.1 or above, you have two options:

  • Launch via URL
  • Launch via settings

To launch via settings, read ahead:

First you must go to Plex settings > server > plugins and then move your mouse over the ExportTools icon and click on the Gear icon, as shown in the red box in the image below.

This will open the settings page.


You will notice that the first entry on the settings page is named Select Library to export, and click Save.

If you are running ExportTools for the first time, or if you have added or deleted a library, you should select *** Reload Library List *** from the drop down menu and then hit the Save button at the bottom of the settings page.

Doing the above, might generate an error, but simply ignore the error and return to the settings page, or if nothing appears to happen, then refresh your browser page and if necessary, click on the Gear icon to reopen the settings page.

Now, the Select Library to export, and click Save drop down menu should contain a list of all your libraries, so simply select the library you wish to export, and then click on the Save button at the bottom of the settings page.

Now, go to your selected output directory, and you should find your output file as well as a status file named *ExportTools-Status* that will have it's file name updated for every 10 items processed.

Note: Do not forget to configure the rest of ExportTools to suit your needs. Configuration
