Plex token extraction

Feature Request

Add this to Plex documentation, Ombi, overseerr etc documentation.

It’s definitely needed.

grep -oP 'PlexOnlineToken="\K[^"]+' ~/.config/plex/Library/Application\ Support/Plex\ Media\ Server/Preferences.xml

Maybe a variant of that to highlight the token a bit more.

    I’m afraid that this grep command does not fetch the token needed. You can confirm this by using the method shown here, as it will fetch a different token. For this reason, we will not be adding this method to our documentation.

      Really? Because it works for me.
