Add Plex Connect Locally

Add Plex Connect Locally
Set Favorite for tracks rated 5 stars in Plex

[lordbah]

When adding the Plex music provider you can avoid using Myplex.TV. Fill in the IP address and port and click Connect Locally. There is no visible reaction. Hit Save. The provider syncs in the background, connecting directly to the Plex server without requiring a token from Myplex.TV. Also, tracks rated 5 stars in Plex will have the Favorite flag set.

I made a few changes to the PR to make it more explicit that you can choose between Local auth and MyPlex auth.
I had no way to test the local auth option, can give that a double check before we merge here ?

Can you deliver a small piece of text for the documentation about using the local auth ?

Is the comment in the PR sufficient?

Uhh well, I tried it myself and it didnt work out of the box so I assume there is also a part needed in Plex itself ?

In Plex under Settings / Remote Access, "List of IP addresses and networks that are allowed without auth" is a comma-separated list. Mine is set to "192.168.218.0/255.255.254.0,192.168.220.165". I guess I assumed that anyone who would want to connect locally would already have that.

Let's add this info to the docs then as it was new info for me. Thanks!
