Connecting to Plex

Go to Settings -> Media Server -> Plex

After filling in your Plex "Username and Password" you should be able to "Load Servers"

However, you might need to adjust the connection setting to enable OMBI to communicate with Plex, so here we go:

  • Server Name: Leave it or give it any name
  • Hostname or IP: plex
  • Port: 32400
  • Plex Authorization Token: Should be filled in automatically when you use your Plex credentials, but ifyou encounter issues connecting to Plex, you can ensure that you've got the right token please follow this Plex Support guide: Finding an authentication token
  • Machine Identifier: Should be filled in automatically when you use your Plex credentials, but if you encounter issues connecting to Plex, go to your Plex web interface (https://plex.your-domain.com) and click Settings. In your browser URL you will be able to see a URL string like: /index.html#!/settings/server/r1mtgqwjhhqltlz1bsmbkenlmux16ehLbtteldqv/. In this example the Machine identifier is: r1mtgqwjhhqltlz1bsmbkenlmux16ehLbtteldqv

The rest should be simple. Load the libraries and "Submit" to save the server connection
