RasPlex on Raspberry Pi - Can I see the play/pause/stop status without connecting to a Plex Server?

I have a Plex on a Raspberry Pi using RasPlex.

Is there any way I can have Home-Assistant see the status of Plex on this somehow without checking a server?
I am asking because I am transitioning from using my server to using a friend’s server.
But by doing this, I can’t control automations because I can’t check what is playing on his server.

Also, I don’t want to use a ChromeCast because I prefer the UI of RasPlex and being able to use a remote.

Thanks
