Signing in with Plex
Almost every scootRflix service — Seerr, RomM, Shelfmark, and Book Orbit — uses the same sign-in flow: “Sign in with Plex.” Under the hood this goes through an identity provider called Authentik, which checks your Plex account and lets you straight in. You never create a separate password for these services.
The flow, step by step
- Open the service (for example
request.scootr.ca). - Click Sign in with Plex (sometimes labelled Log in via Authentik or just a Plex-branded button).
- You’ll be sent to
plex.tvto confirm you want to authorize the app — sign in to Plex if you aren’t already. - Plex redirects you back to the service, now signed in.
First time on a given service? Access is granted based on your existing Plex library share. If you get an “access denied” screen instead of a sign-in prompt, you likely haven’t been shared the server yet — ping us in Discord.
If you hit a Cloudflare screen first
A few services sit behind Cloudflare Access before you even reach the Plex sign-in button, to keep them off the public internet. If that happens, enter the same email address you use for Plex — see Cloudflare Access re-verification for the full walkthrough, including why you’ll be asked to do this again every 30 days.
Why one login for everything?
- Less to remember — your Plex credentials are the only ones that matter.
- Access follows your share — when your Plex access changes, so does your access to everything else automatically.
- No extra accounts to manage on our end, which means faster access when you’re added and a clean cutoff if you’re ever removed.
