plezy:// links

Links start Plezy from outside the app. Any link may add profile=<profile>: a profile id, a Plex Home user UUID, or a display name (ignoring case; it must match one profile). Plezy switches to that profile first, and a protected profile still asks for its PIN. A link replaces whatever is playing.

For a show, mode=next (the default) plays the next episode to watch, and mode=shuffle plays the show shuffled. The menu of any movie, show, or episode has Show link, and each profile's menu in Switch Profile has Show profile link. Both show the link as text and a QR code.

# Android / Android TV, over adb (Home Assistant: remote.turn_on with activity: plezy://...)
adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d "plezy://play?type=show\&tvdb=81189\&profile=Kids"
# macOS
open "plezy://play?type=movie&tmdb=603"

On iOS, use the Open URLs action in Shortcuts.
