As promised…

NO AI BULLSHIT…. needing to hook up or run local LLM's for recomendations of shit to watch...

No subscriptions, no creepy tracking, no cloud dependency. Just your Plex, your API keys, and a slick self-hosted dashboard built for one thing:

That’s where Nextt comes in.

What it does:

  • Analyzes your 4★–5★ Plex ratings - 10 Most Recent TV and Movies (can increase its open source go nuts)
  • Fetches tailored recommendations via TMDB
  • Beautiful UI (dark mode, responsive)
  • One-click requests via Overseerr
  • Filters by genre, country, anime, K-drama, ratings, and more

Tech stack:

  • React + TypeScript frontend
  • Tailwind CSS
  • Vite
  • Local config panel + connection tester
  • Backend planned (FastAPI), frontend is live now and fully demo-able

What you need:

  • Plex Server with user ratings
  • Free TMDB API key
  • Your Plex token
  • (Optional) Overseerr for instant "Request to Download" button

Setup takes like 5–10 mins. Full instructions in the README.

Features:

  • Personalized “What to watch next” from your actual Plex tastes
  • Filterable by genre, region, language, rating
  • Click to request via Overseerr
  • Responsive UI, works on mobile
  • Manual & auto library sync
  • Fully local, no cloud dependencies
  • Docker backend version coming soon

Current status:

  • Frontend fully built + mock API layer working
  • Real backend under construction (FastAPI)
  • Actively developed — contributions welcome

No OpenAI keys, no tokens, no serverless traps, no local LLMS

Just free, useful, self-hosted Plex tools — for people who want better recommendations based on their actual tastes, not generic trending garbage. I may add more shit to this later, if I get a weird idea.

Give it a try and tell me what sucks. PRs, stars, and feature requests welcome.
