Plex

<p>The Plex 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, HASS requires an authentication token to be entered in the webinterface. See <a href="https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/204059436">Finding your account token / X-Plex-Token</a>.</p>
<p>If you want to enable the plex platform directly, add the following lines to your <code>configuration.yaml</code>:</p>
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
<div class="code"><pre><span class="comment"># Example configuration.yaml entry</span>
<span class="key">media_player</span>:
<span class="key">platform</span>: <span class="string"><span class="content">plex</span></span>
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<p>In case discovery does not work (GDM disabled or non-local plex server), you can create <code>~/.homeassistant/plex.conf</code> manually.</p>
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
<div class="code"><pre>{<span class="key"><span class="delimiter">&quot;</span><span class="content">IP_ADDRESS:PORT</span><span class="delimiter">&quot;</span></span>: {<span class="key"><span class="delimiter">&quot;</span><span class="content">token</span><span class="delimiter">&quot;</span></span>: <span class="string"><span class="delimiter">&quot;</span><span class="content">TOKEN</span><span class="delimiter">&quot;</span></span>}}
</pre></div>
</div>
</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>null</code> (without quotes) otherwise.</li>
</ul>
<p>At this moment, the Plex platform only supports one Plex Media Server.</p>
