Mopidy-Plex

Mopidy extension for playing audio from a Plex server

Installation

Install by running:

pip install Mopidy-Plex

Or, if available, install the Debian/Ubuntu package from apt.mopidy.com.

And you need the python-plexapi module as well:

pip install plexapi

Extra setup hassle

Update 2016-04-14

Please pull python-plexapi directly from upstream at https://github.com/mjs7231/python-plexapi, which has proper Plex Audio support since https://github.com/mjs7231/python-plexapi/commit/443d1e76d8b7bc6e5181bb9791fb56b7462055e8 / March 15th. The upcoming 2.0 release of python-plexapi will contain this, so get that from PyPi when it is released there.

Configuration

Before starting Mopidy, you must add configuration for Mopidy-Plex to your Mopidy configuration file:

[plex]
type = myplex
enabled = true
server = Servername
username = Username
password = Password
library = Music

Servername above is the name of the server (not the hostname and port). If logged into Plex Web you can see the server name in the top left above your available libraries.

You can also use direct as type to connect directly to your server instead of authenticating through MyPlex if your server is unclaimed (not logged in)

Troubleshooting

If you are having trouble with some library items, you must change the default encoding in your mopidy startup script:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    reload(sys)
    sys.setdefaultencoding('UTF8')
    sys.exit(
        load_entry_point('Mopidy==3.0.0a1', 'console_scripts', 'mopidy')()
    )
