<p>The <code class="highlighter-rouge">plex</code> platform allows you to connect a <a href="https://plex.tv">Plex Media Server</a> to Home Assistant. It will allow you to control media playback and see the current playing item. The preferred way to setup the Plex platform is by enabling the the <a href="/components/discovery/">the discovery component</a> and requires GDM to be enabled.</p>
<p>If local authentication is enabled or multiple users are defined, Home Assistant requires an authentication token to be entered in the frontend. Press “CONFIGURE” to do it.</p>
<p class="img">
<img src="/images/screenshots/plex-configure.png" />
</p>
<p>If you dont know your token, see <a href="https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/204059436">Finding your account token / X-Plex-Token</a>.</p>
<p class="img">
<img src="/images/screenshots/plex-token.png" />
</p>
<p>If you want to enable the plex platform directly, add the following lines to your <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code>:</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1"># Example configuration.yaml entry</span>
<span class="s">media_player</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="pi">-</span> <span class="s">platform</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">plex</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>In case <a href="/components/discovery/">discovery</a> does not work (GDM disabled or non-local plex server), you can create <code class="highlighter-rouge">~/.homeassistant/plex.conf</code> manually.</p>
<div class="language-json highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="p">{</span><span class="nt">"IP_ADDRESS:PORT"</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="p">{</span><span class="nt">"token"</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="s2">"TOKEN"</span><span class="p">}}</span><span class="w">
</span></code></pre>
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>IP_ADDRESS</strong> (<em>Required</em>): IP address of the Plex Media Server</li>
<li><strong>PORT</strong> (<em>Required</em>): Port where Plex is listening. Default is 32400</li>
<li><strong>TOKEN</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): Only if authentication is required. Set to <code class="highlighter-rouge">null</code> (without quotes) otherwise.</li>
</ul>
<p>At this moment, the Plex platform only supports one Plex Media Server.</p>
<p>It is possible to get errors that look like the following.</p>
<div class="highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>ERROR:plexapi:http://192.168.1.10:32400: ('Connection aborted.', BadStatusLine("''",))
INFO:homeassistant.components.media_player.plex:No server found at: http://192.168.1.10:32400
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>If this occurs, try changing the setting <code class="highlighter-rouge">Secure connections</code> in your Plex Media Server to <code class="highlighter-rouge">Preferred</code> (instead of <code class="highlighter-rouge">Required</code>). The Plex component does not currently support HTTPS.</p>
