Raspberry PI with screen

This is the display I'm using:

Install the pygame package and pip

  • sudo apt-get install python-pygame
  • sudo apt-get install python-pip

And the plex API

  • sudo pip install plexapi

Before the script can be used it must have a token. Edit this line in the code

token = '<your token>'
