Finding plexid's and ip address of shared sections.

[hanthecat]

The info in the readme isnt quite current anymore.

Is there a current workaround to figure out the IP and plex section ids of a shared server?

Yes, there is.

For the IP:
In your browser, open the Plex Shared Libary you want to use. Then, use your browser's Dev Tools (in Chrome: More Tools -> Dev Tools and FF it's Web Developer Tools) and use the Network tool. The Request URL output string will give you the IP of the shared server. Note, the PlexDownloader only worked if I used the entire address (up to the port number) shown in Request URL and used as the User.ini PlexURL value.
e.g. plexurl = https://{IP}.{GUID}.plex.direct:32400

Bonus: This method also gives you the Token (X-Plex-Token) within the Request URL string.

For the PlexID's: Use the same Network Tool. Click on the library you want to know the PlexID for, like Movies for example, then use the Network Tool's Response feature. Filter to show responses that have IncludeDetails. The number before ? is the library's PlexID. To confirm it's correct, look in the Response Payload and find "librarySectionID:{n}". Repeat for an additional library like TVShows, etc.

It's a hack, but it works. Hope this helps.
