Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.

Common questions

Where should I install the newer version of this NowShowing app?

Use NowShowing v2, which is a major update to the original Docker and is available in unRAID Community Apps.

Can the email report be sent to only selected Plex users?

Yes, the app can send an email summary to all or selected users of the Plex Server and also provide a web page for users to visit.

How do I set when the web report runs?

The report schedule is configured in the advanced.yaml file, where users have tried setting the web report for a specific time.

Why might it stop working in Docker Desktop on Windows?

One user reported that Docker for Windows lost the ability to run Linux Containers, which prevented NowShowing from running.
