Plex

Displays the number of active streams alongside a count of your movie, TV, and music libraries. Connects directly to your Plex Media Server using a Plex token.

Configuration

{ id: "my-plex", type: "plex", col: 1, row: 1, width: 6, height: 1,
  config: {
    title: "Plex",
    url: "http://localhost:32400",
  }
}

Options

Field	Type	Default	Description
title	string	"Plex"	Label shown in the widget header.
url	string	"http://localhost:32400"	Base URL of your Plex Media Server.

Credentials

Field	Type	Description
token	password	Your Plex authentication token.

To find your token: open Plex Web, go to Settings → Account → Plex.tv account, then select Get token (or follow the Plex support article). The token is a 20-character alphanumeric string.

Warning

The Plex token grants full access to your server. Store it as a credential and do not share it.

Displayed stats

Tip

For more detailed stream information — direct play vs. transcode, bandwidth, user activity — use the Tautulli widget alongside or instead of this one.
