SoundScout is a self-hosted music discovery and acquisition app for Plex. It uses Last.fm listening history to generate personalised recommendations, lets users import Spotify playlists, albums, and tracks from a web UI, downloads missing music into your library, and keeps Plex playlists in sync. It also supports monitored artists, so new releases can be picked up automatically. Project links Project: https://github.com/Ashyy0205/SoundScout Container: ghcr.io/ashyy0205/soundscout:main Template XML: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ashyy0205/SoundScout/main/SoundScout-template.xml What it does - Plex-authenticated web UI - Last.fm-based recommendation generation - Spotify playlist, album, and track import - Automatic music acquisition into your Plex library - Per-user settings and schedules - Artist monitoring for new releases Required paths - /music -> your music library - /config -> persistent SoundScout config and user/session data - /app/data -> persistent app data, reports, and backlog state - /root/.scraper -> scraper credentials folder containing config.json Required settings - PLEX_BASEURL = your Plex server URL, for example http://192.168.1.10:32400 - PLEX_MUSIC_LIBRARY = the name of your Plex music library section - WEBUI_PUBLIC_URL = the public URL users will open in their browser, for example http://192.168.1.10:5000 Notes - Plex sign-in is supported and recommended. - Downloads require valid scraper credentials in /root/.scraper/config.json. - The downloader currently tries services in this order: Tidal, then Qobuz, then Amazon. - SoundScout is intended for users who already manage a Plex music library and want automated discovery plus assisted acquisition. If you need support, please include the following in your post - Your Unraid version - Your SoundScout version or image tag - A screenshot of your template settings - The generated docker run command from Unraid - Relevant container logs - A clear description of what you expected and what actually happened Known setup issues to check first - WEBUI_PUBLIC_URL must be reachable from the browser. Do not use localhost unless the browser is on the same machine and that is truly how you access it. - /root/.scraper/config.json must exist if you want downloads to work. - Your Plex URL and Plex music library name must match your server exactly. - Persistent folders must be mapped outside the container. I will use this thread for support, bug reports, and setup help for the Unraid template and container.
