Webhook from Plex to IFTTT doesn't work when start playing a movie

Plex Media Server

Server Version#: 1.28.1.6104

Hello, I try to turn on lights when I start a movie. I did it exactly as explained in the video from Plex.
I added the following webhook to Plex: ‘https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/EVENT_NAME/json/with/key/KEY?event=media.play’
After I save that webhook I receive a web request in IFTTT and the Applet ran. But when I start a movie nothing happens. I tried it with other events (media.stop or media.pause) too, but it doesn’t change anything. Only when I save the webhook URL, it works once.
Does anyone know what the problem is? Thanks a lot

On my side, it is working but for any action …
I just want to turn off my light when I start a movie but actually it switch them off also when I add items or when I stop playing.

I really don’t know how to filter based on action in iftt.
When I see the example in the movie, I said : nice it is easy but finally I dont understand why “?event=media.play” is added because it doesn’t filter anything.

Any help would be welcome.

The video is missing a step in between where you need filter code to parse and filter the json payload. Filter code is an IFTTT Pro feature.
