PlexUpdate Plugin
=================
``plexupdate`` is a very simple plugin for beets that lets you automatically
update `Plex`_'s music library whenever you change your beets library.
To use ``plexupdate`` plugin, enable it in your configuration
(see :ref:`using-plugins`).
Then, you'll probably want to configure the specifics of your Plex server.
You can do that using an ``plex:`` section in your ``config.yaml``,
which looks like this::
plex:
host: localhost
port: 32400
token: token
The ``token`` key is optional: you'll need to use it when in a Plex Home (see Plex's own `documentation about tokens`_).
To use the ``plexupdate`` plugin you need to install the `requests`_ library with:
pip install requests
With that all in place, you'll see beets send the "update" command to your Plex
server every time you change your beets library.
