An update in Plex Media Server 1.20.3 changed the scope of the
PLEXTOKENenvironment variable token (token prefixed withlocal-). The local token is only allowed to access the local Plex Media Server API, and not any online Plex.tv API. See the Plex Employee response here. This prevents the Trakt plugin from retrieving Plex account information from Plex.tv.A globally scoped token is still available by using the
PlexOnlineTokenin the the Advanced, Hidden Server Settings. This is the token registered for the Plex Media Server device (i.e. Plex Web > Account Settings > Authorized Devices > Server). Note that this token remains valid as long as the Plex Media server is claimed with a Plex.tv account and does not expire.Changes have been made to the Trakt plugin to fallback to retrieving the
PlexOnlineTokenif thePLEXTOKENenvironment variable token only has local scope. ThePlexOnlineTokenwill be retrieved from the Windows Registry, MacOS plist file, or Linux Preferences.xml file depending on the operating system.Fixes #611
