I’m trying to add Plex Media Server inside HA.
Selected the option “Obtain a new token from plex.tv”
After login to Plex, It goes back to HA with “Unexpected error”
Any idea why?
Try running the Plex integration in debug mode and try again. If it’s still not clear, please create a github issue on core.
How do I run it in debug mode?
Open the Plex panel from the Integrations page and select “Enable debug logging”.
ok… found this
any idea?

I’d guess the response to this payload is missing info needed to connect to your server:
$ curl -H 'X-Plex-Token: <YOUR_TOKEN_HERE>' -H 'X-Plex-Client-Identifier: <YOUR_CLIENT_ID_HERE>' 'https://plex.tv/api/v2/resources?includeHttps=1&includeRelay=1'
Be careful not to post your token or personal info from the response.
You can steal a token from a Plex Web session by hitting “…” on any media, selecting “Get Info”, and then “View XML”. The token will be in the URL. The client ID can be any string, I believe.
You also have errors about the Plex addon not running. Could this be as simple as your Plex server being down?
I didn’t post a token above… right?
My Plex Server is running on different server, is not on the same box as HA.
No, but you can get a token and make that curl call to get more info.
Did you ever figure this out? Same thing happening to me.
I believe this is a library issue. Will be bumping it with a fix soon.
I hope Bump plexapi to 4.15.12 by jjlawren · Pull Request #115872 · home-assistant/core · GitHub will resolve this.
is fixed now 
Thank you
