    The Plex deep links will automatically resume. TV shows are tricky. For that, I use the Plex integration of Home Assistant to play a random episode. It’s supposed to be super powerful, but I haven’t got it to work reliably yet (which is why I didn’t focus on TV Shows in the blog post).

    service: media_player.play_media
    data:
      media_content_type: EPISODE
      media_content_id: |-
        { 
          "library_name" : "TV shows",
          "show_name": "SHOW NAME HERE",
          "shuffle": 1,
          "maxresults": 1
        }
      enqueue: replace
    target:
      entity_id: media_player.plex_plex_for_apple_tv_apple_tv

      Thank you, this gives me enough to start and play with.

      My kiddo doesn’t really care too much about movies but loves TV shows. Maybe I solve it with a script if I can’t get the native plex link to work

      This is going to be a good winter project for me
