[Plugin] - PlexStreams-lite

Just to make it known.... I'm not versed in code and this was vibe coded with claude..... so just putting that out there up front.

PlexStreams Lite adds a live Plex stream monitor widget directly to your Unraid dashboard — no separate app, no

  tab-switching. Just open your Unraid UI and see who's watching what, right there on the main page.

  Features:

  - Poster-art cards for each active stream

  - Shows user, device, media title, playback state (playing/paused), direct play vs. transcode, bandwidth, and

  LAN/remote

  - Dynamic header: total streams, total bandwidth, direct play vs. transcode breakdown

  - Overflow indicator when more than 4 streams are active

  - Auto-scrolling marquee for long titles

  - Updates every 15 seconds

  - HTTPS image proxy — artwork loads correctly even on HTTPS Unraid setups

  - Settings page with Test Connection button

  - Config persists across reboots

  Requirements:

  - Unraid 6.11.9+

  - Plex Media Server accessible from your Unraid server

  - Plex authentication token (X-Plex-Token)
