Now you have everything you need to start using the API. Your token should look something like this ( a big mess of numbers and letters – mine is 20 characters long): Your URL should look something like this ( starts with the https part, ends with 32400): Your Plex URL and token are taken from the XML page URL You can do this on your PC/laptop – you don’t have to do it on the Pi: First, log in to your Plex server using a desktop browser. You can get both the token and URL in one hit. Naturally you can’t start poking around inside someone’s server without authorisation, so we need to grab a token and server URL to prove it’s yours.

I ripped my DVD collection on to a hard drive a long time ago, and I now stream that collection to my devices using a Plex server. No sir.Īs you can imagine, I’m not one to be pushing plastic into holes to watch a film. They have no place in today’s world of self-driving cars, WiFi thermostats and smart washing machines. DVDs – why do they still exist? Archaic space-consuming biscuits of polycarbonate.
