Research direction

Start by reading the existing MediaProvider implementations and provider module registration patterns. Then map Plex PIN authentication, server discovery, library sections, metadata, transcoding, ratings, playlists, and scrobbling to those interfaces. Done means a registered provider:plex module supports the listed Plex workflows; the issue names no specific files or tests.
