Share specified libraries with all Plex users

share_unshare_libraries.py

# inspired by https://gist.github.com/JonnyWong16/f8139216e2748cb367558070c1448636
# adapted by eric capuano, @eric_capuano@infosec.exchange
# modified to support python3, and supports updating ALL users instead of specifying userIDs manually.
#
# first, add your PLEX_TOKEN and SERVER_ID
# second, add the libraries you want to share/unshare to SHARED_LIBRARY_IDS
# usage: python3 share_unshare_libraries.py share/unshare

# get your server ID: https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/t6ylce/server_id/

# Enter the Library IDs in this format below:
