        Getting a PlexServer Instance
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        There are three types of authentication. If running the PlexAPI on the
        same network as the Plex Server (and you are not using Plex Users), you
        can authenticate without a username and password. Getting a PlexServer
        instance is as easy as the following:
        
        .. code:: python
        
            from plexapi.server import PlexServer
            plex = PlexServer()   # Defaults to localhost:32400
        
        If you are running on a separate network or using Plex Users you can log
        into MyPlex to get a PlexServer instance. An example of this is below.
        NOTE: Servername below is the name of the server (not the hostname and
        port). If logged into Plex Web you can see the server name in the top
        left above your available libraries.
        
        .. code:: python
        
            from plexapi.myplex import MyPlexAccount
            account = MyPlexAccount.signin('<USERNAME>', '<PASSWORD>')
            plex = account.resource('<SERVERNAME>').connect()  # returns a PlexServer instance
        
        If you want to avoid logging into MyPlex and you already know your auth
        token string, you can use the PlexServer object directly as above, but
        passing in the baseurl and auth token directly.
        
        .. code:: python
        
            from plexapi.server import MyPlexAccount
            baseurl = 'http://plexserver:32400'
            token = '2ffLuB84dqLswk9skLos'
            plex = PlexServer(baseurl, token)
        
        Usage Examples
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        .. code:: python
        
            # Example 1: List all unwatched content in library.
            for section in plex.library.sections():
                print('Unwatched content in %s:' % section.title)
                for video in section.unwatched():
                    print('  %s' % video.title)
        
        .. code:: python
        
            # Example 2: Mark all Conan episodes watched.
            plex.library.get('Conan (2010)').markWatched()
        
        .. code:: python
        
            # Example 3: List all clients connected to the Server.
            for client in plex.clients():
                print(client.name)
        
        .. code:: python
        
            # Example 4: Play the movie Avatar on another client.
            # Note: Client must be on same network as server.
            avatar = plex.library.section('Movies').get('Avatar')
            client = plex.client("Michael's iPhone")
            client.playMedia(avatar)
        
        .. code:: python
        
            # Example 5: List all content with the word 'Game' in the title.
            for video in plex.search('Game'):
                print('%s (%s)' % (video.title, video.TYPE))
        
        .. code:: python
        
            # Example 6: List all movies directed by the same person as Jurassic Park.
            movies = plex.library.section('Movies')
            jurassic_park = movies.get('Jurassic Park')
            director = jurassic_park.directors[0]
            for movie in movies.search(None, director=director):
                print(movie.title)
        
        .. code:: python
        
            # Example 7: List files for the latest episode of Friends.
            thelastone = plex.library.get('Friends').episodes()[-1]
            for part in thelastone.iterParts():
                print(part.file)
        
        .. code:: python
        
            # Example 8: Get a URL to stream a movie or show in another client
            jurassic_park = plex.library.section('Movies').get('Jurassic Park')
            print 'Run running the following command to play in VLC:'
            print 'vlc "%s"' % jurassic_park.getStreamUrl(videoResolution='800x600')
        
        .. code:: python
        
            # Example 9: Get audio/video/all playlists
            for playlist in self.plex.playlists():
                print(playlist.title)
        
        FAQs
        ^^^^
        
        **Q. Why are you using camelCase and not following PEP8 guidelines?**
        
        A. This API reads XML documents provided by MyPlex and the Plex Server.
        We decided to conform to their style so that the API variable names
        directly match with the provided XML documents.
        
        **Q. Why don't you offer feature XYZ?**
        
        A. This library is meant to be a wrapper around the XML pages the Plex
        server provides. If we are not providing an API that is offerered in the
        XML pages, please let us know! -- Adding additional features beyond that
        should be done outside the scope of this library.
        
        **Q. What are some helpful links if trying to understand the raw Plex
        API?**
