PLEX Playlist Hosting Channel

This was built to work around a limitation of PLEX where it doesn't make Music playlists available to UPnP clients. This makes it difficult to use with systems like HEOS and other UPnP clients, which is sad because PLEX does a lot of things right with how it exposes music to these clients otherwise.

It creates a new channel that simply passes along everything it finds in the server's Playlists. It will filter playlists to just audio playlists, giving a clean list.

Based off of: https://github.com/cp9999/MusicPlaylist.bundle

Installation

Copy the PlaylistHost.bundle to the Plex Media Server plugins folder for your installation.

See this link for further details: https://support.plex.tv/articles/201187656-how-do-i-manually-install-a-plugin/

Configuration

Right now there's just three settings:

• IP Address of the Plex Server
• Port of the Plex Server
• Plex token to connect to the Plex Server

The first two are both set to sane defaults which should work in most cases. The Plex token needs to be found for each particular account (only once) and entered in the plugins settings.
