(Migrated from github.com)

Features:

Want a plex user to be able to see their:
- watch history
- recently added
- contact info ??

Roadmap for implementation:

Send credentials for plex to server.
Authenticate with plex and get userId.
Link userId to the auth token.
Fail with any plex error
or return success

Challenges:

What happens to users if they are not shared with the library anymore? [0]
Need to fetch profile settings when visiting profile/activity pages.

Authenticating with plex javascript pseudocode:

  const url = new URL('https://plex.tv/api/v2/users/signin')
  url.searchParams.append('X-Plex-Client-Identifier', 'seasoned')
  url.searchParams.append('Content-Type', 'application/json')

  let formData = new FormData();
  formData.set('login', username)
  formData.set('password', password)
  formData.set('rememberMe', false)

  return axios({
      method: 'POST',
      url: url.href,
      headers: headers,
      data: formData
    })
    .catch(error => { console.error(`api error authentication plex: ${username}`); throw error })

Getting watch stats from tautulli api.

$ http://TAU_IP:8181/api/v2?apikey=API_KEY&cmd=get_user_watch_time_stats&user_id=1217266
{
    "response": {
        "data": [
            {
                "query_days": 1,
                "total_plays": 1,
                "total_time": 1478
            },
            {
                "query_days": 7,
                "total_plays": 6,
                "total_time": 9349
            },
            {
                "query_days": 30,
                "total_plays": 59,
                "total_time": 86872
            },
            {
                "query_days": 0,
                "total_plays": 786,
                "total_time": 1259781
            }
        ],
        "message": null,
        "result": "success"
    }
}

Tautulli is already a python api for plex. They find the database and read directly from the plex database. This solves a large issue with keeping my custom queries updated with changes to plex, this will be patched in the tautulli api we are using.
