Script - Plex Merge Albums

This script will connect to your Plex Server, gather all the artists, loop through each Artist to gather it's Album's and find the duplicates by name (case insensitive)

It will use the merge API, the same you would use in the browser but of course, with this script it's completely automated saving you a lot of time/hassle doing it by hand

Example output:

🎤 Processing artist: Death Ss

🎤 Processing artist: Death Valley Girls

🎤 Processing artist: Deathbrain

🎤 Processing artist: Deathday

🎤 Processing artist: Deathsiege

🎤 Processing artist: Deathstars
