[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 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.
