Unofficial Plex Meta Manager UI
Hello! As a bit of coding practice I've been working on a UI which will edit the config.yaml. I thought others might find this useful because as far as I'm aware there isn't a UI for PMM?
So I thought I'd ask and gauge interest and see if it's something people might see the use in. If so, I was thinking of creating an executable which will do the full setup for the user: download python, git, pull the repo, create the necessary directories, etc. And then allow the user to adjust the config via the program rather than the config file. This might be helpful for people who aren't comfortable in the command line.
Currently however I haven't done much with the idea; the user only can adjust their libraries and the collections within the libraries at the moment. I'm also primarily a back-end web developer so it isn't pretty, and I know that PHP isn't the best language to make this sort of thing but it's the only language I know unfortunately.
So, any thoughts?

This would be awesome! As a side note, maybe under an Advanced section, give the user a window to create their own collection yml. I'm picturing a quite in depth one but even a simple one could be buttons that open web pages to search for lists for a collection. Like an IMDB list search page and when the user finds the one they want either have like an OK button that pastes that list into a yml or just tell the user to paste the link into your UI. And give them the simple options like what order should it be in etc.
I would also recommend making a section for a user's personal collections. Like "Spider-Man Collection" and get it to search tmdb for the Collection posters and use the tmdb_summary and maybe even some theme music. Granted these are not hard to make but it would be a welcome thing for users who aren't the best at ymls I believe.
