What’s wrong / missing?

The Web App Url in the Plex section should have a better description on how to use a self-hosted Plex Url.

Suggested change

In order for the "Play on PLEX" buttons to work, I needed to have the Web App Url in this format https://plex.my-domain.com/web/index.html instead of the suggested https://app.plex.tv/desktop.

hmmm thats a good catch. The default Behavior when you select a piece of media sends you to

https://app.plex.tv/desktop anyways

Having the suggested text being the default behavior is kind of confusing and counter intutive especially considering, that it is no where near what you would want to use.

Setting the URL, the public (or private i suppose if you wanted) url, will appropriately redirect the user to the media

I can open a PR and submit it for review with core maintainers to see if the changes makes sense to them.
