Troubleshooting 400 Bad Request Errors

If you previously encountered connection issues:

1. Try again - Whitespace is now automatically stripped from tokens
2. Use HTTPS - Try https:// instead of http:// for your server URL
3. Test connection - Run plexmix config test to diagnose
4. Verify token - Ensure no extra characters when copying from Plex
5. Check port - Default is 32400, verify your server uses this
