SoFE

SoFE is a small Python utility that integrates with Sonarr and Plex to exclude anime filler episodes from monitoring and to organize media into filler vs non-filler collections. It consumes episode data from Anime Filler List and drives Sonarr and Plex via their APIs.

Key Features

• Parses episode filler information from Anime Filler List and maps it to Sonarr series/episodes
• Updates Sonarr series monitoring to monitor only non-filler episodes (via Sonarr API)
• Creates Plex collections (separate filler and non-filler collections) based on download status and library mapping
• Packaged as a Docker container and configurable via environment variables for Sonarr/Plex endpoints and API tokens
• Lightweight Python implementation suitable for running on home servers or in Docker Compose setups

Use Cases

• Keep Sonarr from monitoring or downloading filler episodes for anime series
• Automatically organize Plex libraries into filler and non-filler collections for easier viewing
• Automate anime library maintenance by syncing filler metadata with Sonarr and Plex

Limitations and Considerations

• Accuracy depends on Anime Filler List data and correct selection of the anime identifier; mismatches may require manual correction
• Requires working Sonarr and Plex instances with valid API keys/tokens and appropriate series ID/library configuration
• Focused on anime filler workflows; not designed for non-anime media or to integrate with alternate download managers

SoFE is targeted at users who want automated, low-effort management of anime monitoring and Plex organization. It is intended as a simple integration tool that streamlines filler exclusion and collection creation for Sonarr + Plex environments.
