Shared Plex servers return 401 Unauthorized #2

Description

@powerje

Issue

Direct connections to shared Plex servers (servers not owned by you) may return 401 Unauthorized errors even with valid authentication tokens.

Root Cause

This appears to be a Plex permission limitation but requires more investigation.

Impact

The application will try multiple connection URLs but may not be able to access content from shared servers. Your own servers work normally.

Workaround

None currently available. This is a low-priority issue as most users primarily use their own servers.
