One of the variations deploying this via OliveTin, is that's not necessary to have the script on the same host as your Channels DVR. A cron job is not needed either, as the OliveTin Action will repeat at whatever interval you specify. A healthchecks.io integration is available, so you'll get notified by e-mail if the Plex data is not r…

Thanks for the reply, I do not use docker (but willing to learn). I searched for info on how to run on Synology but it is somewhat overwhelming. Is OliveTin a Docker container (sorry if a stupid question)? Any resources you can point me to or help me with a step-nystep? Thanks again.
