Usage

plexConnection, err := plex.New("http://192.168.1.2:32400", "myPlexToken")

// Test your connection to your Plex server
result, err := plexConnection.Test()

// Search for media in your plex server
results, err := plexConnection.Search("The Walking Dead")

// Webhook handler to easily handle events on your server
	wh := plex.NewWebhook()

	wh.OnPlay(func(w plex.Webhook) {
		fmt.Printf("%s is playing\n", w.Metadata.Title)
	})

	wh.OnPause(func(w plex.Webhook) {
		fmt.Printf("%s is paused\n", w.Metadata.Title)
	})

	wh.OnResume(func(w plex.Webhook) {
		fmt.Printf("%s has resumed\n", w.Metadata.Title)
	})

	wh.OnStop(func(w plex.Webhook) {
		fmt.Printf("%s has stopped\n", w.Metadata.Title)
	})

	http.HandleFunc("/", wh.Handler)

	http.ListenAndServe("192.168.1.14:8080", nil)

// connect to your server via websockets to listen for events

ctrlC := make(chan os.Signal, 1)
onError := func(err error) {
	fmt.Println(err)
}

events.OnPlaying(func(n NotificationContainer) {
	mediaID := n.PlaySessionStateNotification[0].RatingKey

	var title

	sessions, err := plexConnection.GetSessions()
