				[jlesage/filebot] plex notify in docker compose

				Hi, I'm using filebot:amc in docker but cant figure out how to pass the plex=host:token option to the container in docker compose. 
Do I use PLEX=host:token as an environment variable, or should I be using AMC_CUSTOM_OPTIONS=PLEX=host:token or something else. Tried both but could not get it working. 
I cant seem to find any examples to help me. 
thanks,
sykick

				 AMC_CUSTOM_OPTIONS
 AMC_CUSTOM_OPTIONS would suggest that you're using the 3rd party 
jlesage/filebot container, and notably 
not one of ours. Please read 
Installing FileBot on unRAID for details.
 

 According to the 
jlesage/filebot manual, the 
AMC_CUSTOM_OPTIONS environment variable expects a line of command-line options that will then be added to the 
filebot command, the usage would thus look something like this:
 
 You would therefore set the 
AMC_CUSTOM_OPTIONS environment variable like so, assuming 
docker command-line usage:
Shell: Select all
-e AMC_CUSTOM_OPTIONS="--def plex=host:token"

				Okay, thanks for the support. I did not realize it was unofficial. 
I'll look to move over to the official version then. 
Thanks again.

				It's an alternative that does things differently, notably many different things in a single container, not necessarily better or worse. I just mean to say that I didn't write the code so I'm not an expert on how things work exactly.
