Raspberry PI with screen

This is the display I'm using:

• https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JZHLWGM
• https://github.com/iUniker/3.6NewDriver.git

Install the pygame package and pip

• sudo apt-get install python-pygame
• sudo apt-get install python-pip

And the plex API

• sudo pip install plexapi

Before the script can be used it must have a token. Edit this line in the code

token = '<your token>'

Use this article to find your token
