n8n Placeholdarr for Plex (BETA) This flow creates dummy files for every item added in your *Arrs (Radarr/Sonarr) with the tag unprocessed-dummy. It’s useful for maintaining a large Plex library without needing the actual movies or shows to be present on your Debrid provider. --- How It Works When a dummy file is played, the corresponding item is automatically monitored in *Arr and added to the download queue. This ensures that the content becomes available within ~3 minutes for playback. If the content finishes downloading while the dummy is still being played, Tautulli triggers a webhook that stops the stream and notifies the user. --- Requirements Each n8n node must have the correct URL and authorization headers configured. The SSH host (used to create dummy files) must have FFmpeg installed. A Trakt.TV API key is required if you're using Trakt collections. --- Warning > ⚠️ This flow is currently in BETA and under active development. > It is not recommended for users without technical experience. > Keep an eye on the GitHub repository for updates. https://github.com/arjanterheegde/n8n-workflows-for-plex
