PASTA is a client-side web application that connects to a Plex Media Server to inspect and change audio and subtitle track selections across episodes, seasons, or entire shows. It exposes track metadata in a friendly GUI and enables fast, bulk updates without modifying media files.

Key Features

Browse Plex library items and view detailed audio track and subtitle metadata
Set audio and subtitle tracks at episode, season, or show scope in bulk
Identify and compare duplicate or ambiguous subtitle tracks
Runs entirely client-side (no external server processing) and can be deployed via Docker
Simple web UI designed for quick workflows and local network access for best performance

Use Cases

Standardize default audio and subtitle tracks for an entire TV show or collection
Quickly disable or swap subtitle tracks across many episodes for multi-language households
Audit subtitle/audio track metadata to find duplicates or inconsistent track labeling

Limitations and Considerations

Requires access to a Plex Media Server and appropriate Plex credentials; functionality depends on Plex API capabilities
Does not transcode, embed, or modify media files; it only changes track selections/metadata within Plex
Performance can be affected by very large libraries since the app runs in the browser and relies on Plex responses

PASTA is a focused tool for Plex library track management, offering a lightweight, privacy-preserving UI for batch audio and subtitle operations. It is most useful for users who need quick, bulk changes across episode collections without touching the underlying media files.
