Frequently Asked Questions

How do I implement an rest API metadata server?

Read the schema and implement it yourself. If you do not know how to do it, this agent is not designed for you.

I do not want to open my metadata server to public. What should I do?

There are two ways to do it.

1. Place the metadata server in the same LAN of Plex. Use LAN ip for the agent to access.
2. Implement HTTP basic authentication in your API server. Then, you can use http://username:password@example.com for the server address.
