I made a fork of this script here:
https://gist.github.com/Rihcus/4a217e0092e1fa34299e395222759165

Main change is plex will not accept 0.tcp.ngrok.io urls as custom domains need to start with the plex.yourdomain.com (or .org, etc). The forked script will take the domain from the base url ping and obtain the base url ip and submite on url with port instead of four making it a bit more seamless.

@Rihcus looks good! I haven't had a need to use this script in a year so I haven't worked on it at all. Thanks for taking my initial script and improving it!

Anyone who comes to this link from my old reddit post, use the forked version linked above.

I made a fork of this script here:
https://gist.github.com/anjumrafidofficial/fe3b986ff15246a47851f9d0da0e202f

The main change is this scripts will follow @Rihcus changes & also will use token instead of password.
