I like your plex_media service, probably going to adapt it to my setup with disks on the local network.<p>I have plexpass and wanted to use the newer Plex server so I threw this overlay together: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gist.github.com&#x2F;iamevn&#x2F;11952b966c05ca799f4910e02c2ffe4a" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gist.github.com&#x2F;iamevn&#x2F;11952b966c05ca799f4910e02c2ff...</a><p>Just need to spin up a service that uses the included script to query the latest version info and then rebuild whenever there&#x27;s a new Plex version.<p>Still new to Nix so would love any feedback on how readable it is. I figured it would be clearer to keep the json simple and have a shell script that pulls out the relevant fields out rather than parse things out directly in Nix.
