Websockets on PMS

Dev Community Dev/API Corner

So I stumbled across this (ws://127.0.0.1:32400/:/websockets/notifications) websocket somwhere on the internet yesterday. I was investigating the new "api" changes to see if they affect the web. I did not know PMS has web sockets so I attempted to connect to it and was greeted by some JSON:

{"_elementType":"NotificationContainer","type":"playing","size":1,"_children":[{"_elementType":"PlaySessionStateNotification","sessionKey":"5","guid":"","ratingKey":"82","url":"","key":"/library/metadata/82","viewOffset":1110606,"state":"paused"}]}
{"_elementType":"NotificationContainer","type":"playing","size":1,"_children":[{"_elementType":"PlaySessionStateNotification","sessionKey":"5","guid":"","ratingKey":"82","url":"","key":"/library/metadata/82","viewOffset":1110606,"state":"paused"}]}
{"_elementType":"NotificationContainer","type":"playing","size":1,"_children":[{"_elementType":"PlaySessionStateNotification","sessionKey":"5","guid":"","ratingKey":"82","url":"","key":"/library/metadata/82","viewOffset":1110606,"state":"paused"}]}
{"_elementType":"NotificationContainer","type":"playing","size":1,"_children":[{"_elementType":"PlaySessionStateNotification","sessionKey":"5","guid":"","ratingKey":"82","url":"","key":"/library/metadata/82","viewOffset":1110606,"state":"paused"}]}

My question is, are there any more web sockets? I did some digging but did not find anything.

I know the update info you get on  plex web is on a websocket.

So I was digging for some more info on this and websockets have made their way into some release notes for PMS. https://blog.plex.tv/2012/11/19/plex-media-server-v0-9-7-3-with-plexweb/

Its implied there are multiple websocket endpoints and they take user tokens.
