Installation:

plexwho is intended to run on a Linux box with a bash shell.
Typically drop this script into /usr/local/bin
It has the following prerequisits:
   
     * tautulli: plexwho does not contact the Plex server directly, it uses tautulli
       to grab the information about each stream session (https://tautulli.com/)
     * curl: This is used to query the tautulli API (https://curl.se/)
     * jq: parses the data returned from tautulli (https://stedolan.github.io/jq/)
     * bc: for doing a bit of floating point math
     * tr: for cleaning up some text strings (part of coreutils)

You can print debug output with 'plexwho -d'
You can view the "license" with 'plexwho -l'
