Plex + Docker + Updated Chromecast Ultra Config

plex.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash
#
# Plex's profile for Chromecast is too conservative and only plays 1080p on
# the Chromecast Ultra UHD device (4k).  
#
# This script will download an updated Chromecast definition and start a Plex
# docker container, binding a few local paths of where you run this script.
#
# You may want to refer to the Official Plex Docker repository and read the
# README text: https://github.com/plexinc/pms-docker
#
# REQUIRED:
#
#  * Docker installed and started
#  * Change at least the PATH_TO_MEDIA_DIRECTORY location below for your files
#  * Change the PLEX_CLAIM token to be yours.  
#
# USAGE:
#
#  $ ./plex.sh [start|stop]
#

# REQUIRED: set these
#
PLEX_CLAIM="--insert-claim-token-here--"
TIMEZONE="America/Fort_Wayne"
PATH_TO_MEDIA_DIRECTORY="${HOME}/mnt/nfs/"

# OPTIONAL: defaults to your current path of script.
#
PATH_TO_PLEX_CONFIG_DIR="${PWD}/config"
PATH_TO_PLEX_TRANSCODE_DIR="${PWD}/cache"
PATH_TO_CHROMECAST_PROFILE="${PWD}/Chromecast.xml"

# OPTIONAL: lock plex media server to this docker version.
#           must be prefixed with ":" colon.
