It wraps the underlying websocket protocol and event subscription logic, allowing developers to react to Plex activity in real time without polling.\n\nThe library depends on aiohttp for its async HTTP and websocket transport. It is designed for event-driven applications that need to monitor or respond to Plex server activity, such as home automation, media dashboards, or integration layers.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need real-time Plex server event callbacks and can accept dormant maintenance. The library is simple, has low install friction, carries no known vulnerabilities, and uses a permissive MIT license. However, no active development has occurred since 2023-10-09, so compatibility with newer Plex server versions or Python releases is unverified\u2014test thoroughly in your environment before relying on it in production."},"id":"plexwebsocket","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/plexwebsocket","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/plexwebsocket.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/plexwebsocket/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-10-09","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"plexwebsocket","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Support for issuing callbacks in response to Plex websocket updates."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":112090,"position":12382,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.0.14"}
