Proposed change
The integration previously relied solely on the Plex server to report back known controllable Plex clients for use as
media_player
entities. The Plex server can only discover these clients using a proprietary UDP broadcast protocol (GDM) which can fail to work in many fairly standard setups (e.g., Plex running in a container).This PR additionally queries a plex.tv endpoint to find clients associated with the current Plex account that have not already been locally discovered.
