plex integration

First time Homarr user...;o) Trying to add Plex... Both Plex and Homarr are docker containers In Homarr, I added app to board. internal and external addresses are http://x.x.x.x:32400 Read plex notes on how to get token i.e. view something in Plex Library... Get Info... View in XML... read from URL In Homarr, added plex integration - Copied the plex token as the API Key...saved no joy. logs of homarr docker container show : ERROR failed to communicate with media server 'Plex' (c657a444-72ea-4bc1-af89-33d3e26a1d98): TypeError: fetch failed Any thoughts?
Solution:
found through other searching that you can test the connection by going to the CLI of homarr and perfroming a wget to the plex ip:port. I got a 401...which was advised to add that into the homarr network tab for the plex app settings...now have green ping, also play something on your plex server to test the currently playing widget when testing config changes...

Looks like a problem connecting to the server, rather than an auth issue. A common issue is using https instead of http. Or you may have a setting in Plex blocking http.

When I set it up I added the token to the Internal IP address field as it wasnt working with just the API key in integration. That sorted it for me. Something like http ://192.168.xxx.xxx:32400/?X-Plex-Token=<put token here>
