Plex-Now-Playing

This is a python script that when running listens for the currently playing song and retrieves the title, artist, and album art, and saves it into the current directory (configurable)

Requires Plex Media Server to be running. Doesn't matter if it's running on this machine or another.

You need to get your Plex Token. Instructions are here: https://support.plex.tv/articles/204059436-finding-an-authentication-token-x-plex-token/

You also need the URL of your Plex Server and the name of your Plex Client.
