stevezzau/plex_generate_vid_previews repository overview

⁠⚠️ This image has been renamed

This Docker Hub repository — stevezzau/plex_generate_vid_previews — is now a mirror of the canonical image:

The project supports Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin today, so the old "Plex" name is misleading. We renamed the image (and the upstream repository) to match the broader scope.

⁠What you need to do

Update your docker-compose.yml (or docker run script):

 services:
   media-preview-generator:
-    image: stevezzau/plex_generate_vid_previews:latest
+    image: stevezzau/media_preview_generator:latest
     # ... everything else stays the same

Then docker compose pull && docker compose up -d. Existing volumes, settings, jobs, schedules, and configuration are unchanged — only the image name moves.

⁠Timeline

• Now → 2026-10-29: Both image names mirror the same builds. Watchtower / :latest users on the old name keep getting updates automatically.
• After 2026-10-29: Only stevezzau/media_preview_generator receives updates. The old name stops being published.

⁠Why the rename?

The app started life as a Plex-only tool. Phases 0–L of the multi-server refactor (PR #225) added Emby and Jellyfin adapters with full per-server libraries, path mappings, exclude paths, webhooks, and dispatch fan-out. The "Plex Generate Previews" name no longer reflected what the project does.

• Canonical Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/stevezzau/media_preview_generator⁠
• GitHub: https://github.com/stevezau/media_preview_generator⁠ (auto-redirects from the old URL)
• Documentation: https://github.com/stevezau/media_preview_generator/tree/main/docs⁠

If you have any issues migrating, open an issue on GitHub — the import path inside the container is unchanged, so any third-party scripts hitting /api/... keep working without modification.
