Description
Add allowlist rules for modern Plex client API endpoints to prevent false positives
with
http-crawl-non_staticsscenario.Problem: Modern Plex clients (iOS, tvOS, Android, web) make rapid API calls when
users browse their libraries. These legitimate requests trigger crawl detection.
Evidence: Apple TV user (PlexTV/8.45) was banned after 43 requests in 16 seconds
while browsing their library. Investigation confirmed this was a legitimate user and
device with no suspicious activity - all requests were standard Plex API calls.
New endpoints covered:
/hubs/*- Home screen content hubs/activities- Background activity monitoring/library/sections/*- Library section browsing/library/all- Browse all items matching criteria/library/search- Search functionality/playlists/*- Playlist management/media/providers- Media provider configurationReference: https://github.com/Arcanemagus/plex-api/wiki
