plexctl is a CLI tool for controlling Plex Media Server and clients via the Plex API. It supports playback, search, library browsing, and multi-client control through direct API calls. No vision processing or AI inference is involved.
Direct Plex API calls make every command near-instant, without the overhead of screenshot-based or vision-driven automation.
