I created this channel, UTunes, as a bit of an experiment / get to know the Plex framework:  
[github.com/magas0/UTunes.bundle](https://github.com/magas0/UTunes.bundle "https://github.com/magas0/UTunes.bundle")

It’s to use your own Plex music library information to search on YouTube for music videos (I miss the Vevo integration in the music library).

In the code I have been accessing the Plex libraries via the REST API. Is this the best way to get Plex information from within a channel? Or is there a better way?

You can see my code here:  
[github.com/magas0/UTunes.bundle/blob/master/Contents/Code/ **init**.py](https://github.com/magas0/UTunes.bundle/blob/master/Contents/Code/ __init__.py "https://github.com/magas0/UTunes.bundle/blob/master/Contents/Code/\_\_init\_\_.py")
