Configuring Shoko Metadata

If you chose Shoko Relay as your Agent/Scanner combo you can skip this page and move directly to the Configuring Shoko Relay page.

Creating A Shoko Metadata Library

1. Add a Plex Library

   • While Shoko Server is running, open Plex and create a new TV Shows or Movies library.
   • Ensure that you have completed the required edits mentioned on the Installing Agents & Scanners page.

2. Add a Folder to Your Library

   • When prompted to add folders to your library, browse to your anime collection.
   • Even though Shoko will provide the metadata, Plex still needs to know where the physical files are located.

3. Configure the Advanced Settings

   • In the Advanced tab, if you're adding a TV library, select: Scanner Shoko Series Scanner and Agent **ShokoTV **.
   • If you are adding a movie library instead, choose: Scanner Shoko Movie Scanner and Agent ShokoMovies.
   • Enter your Shoko Server credentials which are the only required settings.
