Way to Be HTPC - Plex
I posted how to intall HTPC Manager on Windows yesterday and today it's Linux's turn. I mentioned I was waiting for HTPC manager to support Sonarr, SickRage and Headphones before creating guides for it. You can all thank Hellowlol for upgrading HTPC Manager for 2015. HTPC Manager adds that extra feeling of awesomeness to your HTPC and here’s why. You get a slick, modular HTPC interface so you can manage all of your software and services on your HTPC. Services you can manage include Plex, Kodi XBMC, Sonarr, Sabnzbd, NZBGet, uTorrent, Transmission, SickBeard, CouchPotato and more. You will see nice overviews of recently added shows or movies, suggestions for other movies and TV shows. You can even add movies or shows from the HTPC Manager interface.This is a screenshot of the computer stats from within HTPC ManagerInstall the HTPC Manager Ubuntu dependenciessudo apt-get install build-essential git python-imaging python-dev python-setuptools python-pip python-cherrypy vnstat -yInstall psutil so you can get computer stats as wellsudo pip install psutilGit clone the latest HTPC Manager from Hellowlol's repositorysudo git clone /opt/HTPCManagerTake ownership of the HTPCManager installation directory with your regular usersudo chown -R user:user /opt/HTPCManagerTry and start HTPC Managerpython /opt/HTPCManager/Htpc.py --daemonYou may see a cherrpy error, everything still works though so don't worry.You can access HTPC Manager at HTPC Manager at BootI outline two methods, the init.d and upstart method.

If you don't disable Kodi watched status logging, these will be logged automatically once you watch a movie or TV show. However, you might want to back up this information safely, in case your Kodi device fails or needs to be updated. One of the online services that let you back up this information to the cloud is the one provided by the Kodi MyEpisodes Addon. Using the MyEpisodes.com online service, this addon lets you mark TV show episodes as watched, and can synchronize the information of your watched media on Kodi with the MyEpisodes account you use, in pretty much the same way as most similar addons.

Most of these addons back up this information online; it's easier to synchronize with an account in an online server on the cloud, than saving this information on a local network database. Still, if you want to keep this information locally, you could install MySQL on Ubuntu or an equivalent database in any other OS, and use an addon such as the Kodi WatchedList addon, which keeps the copy of your watched status marks on your local device or network. Having a local database will also allow you to setup Kodi MySql for sharing media library across all your Kodi devices, to keep them synchronized with each other.
