The Plex platform allows you to connect a [Plex Media Server](https://plex.tv) to Home Assistant.
It will allow you to control media playback and see the current playing item.


```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
media_player:
  platform: plex
  # The name of the backend device (Under Plex Media Server > settings > server)
  name: plex_server
  user: your_username
  password: your_secure_password
```
