I am using the API to create a PlayQueue for a device to use. I can successfully get it created with the endpoint:

POST /playQueues

but when trying to get a client to start playing this PQ it does not work. I have tried:

GET /playQueues/{PQID}

POST /:/timeline

but to no avail. Any information on how to start playback would be greatly appreciated!

Watching the network traffic when using plex web shows no other endpoints that are hit besides the ones listed in the original post.

Furthermore, I have read that the player/playback endpoints were deprecated and no longer maintained. As this would have been what is used I am stuck searching the API endpoints for clues as to what to do
