Auth: Plex

Connect Plex via token auth, configure libraries, and enable watchlist, history, and ratings syncing.

Plex is a media server for your personal library. CrossWatch connects using a Plex account token (OAuth-style). No password is stored.

Troubleshooting

• If the Plex auth tab doesn’t open, disable popup blockers for CrossWatch.

• If Plex server calls fail, make sure the PMS URL is reachable from the CrossWatch container.

• Prefer a LAN IP while debugging (example: http://192.168.1.1:32400).
