About:
WebTools 2.x is a collection of utilities to help with the management of your Plex Server.
This plugin is not limited to the usual channel interface. Instead, it utilizes a built-in webserver to display a responsive web interface which also works on mobile devices, allowing you to manage your Plex Server from any device.

is webtools still viable in 2021?

because i heard something about a cease and desist by plex, so development was halted or something? so is this oudated app still safe to use?

It would appear that the developer is still active on a similar project, but that the particular one you reference is possibly no longer being developed. The developer decided to go in a whole different direction with WebTools, in that it's no longer a Plex Plugin and is instead a stand-alone application that's meant to be installed on a client (Windows, Mac, Linux) machine, and then remotely connects to the Plex server instance to perform its actions. As such, there appears to be no intention to ever make a server/headless version of it that would run on a standard QNAP server. But perhaps a QNAP with graphics hardware could install it?

See WebTools-NG by the same developer:

ah dang

thx. so i guess plugins on plex is gonna be a pain without this tool :{

WebTools still work at the time of writing, but as others has mentioned, Plex is phasing out their plugin framework, so I had to go down another route, and selected Electron

As such, WebTools-NG (Next Generation) is a pure C/S solution, that runs on Windows, Mac and Linux, but since it has a GUI, not on QNAP

was posting about something unrelated but i posted my plex logs to the plex forums and they said,

And unrelated, but ExportTools plugin has been replaced with GitHub - WebTools-NG/WebTools-NG: WebTools Next Generation for Plex

is that even something I can upgrade?

@ukdtom what is a c/s solution?
