Rewrote how local plex library is indexed and what it returns. After searching plex the response is separated into three classes by types (movie, show & episode). Plex also has a function for inputing a (tmdb)movie object and searching for matches of name & type in plex. If a match the object matchedInPlex variable is set to true.
