Hi Welcome to MA. Just to be sure. Are you trying to use Plex as a media provider (not supported, mount a share to the raw media is an option. Described in the FAQ)? Or as a player? Best Eric
Yes, I guess my comprehension is lacking. Is that feature coming? I'll give the mount thing a go.

No, Music Assistant connecting to another Music Server (Like Plex, Emby, LMS etc.) will probably never be implemented as MA is considered a (Music-only/focused) alternative for those. But you never know. If it receives much user votes, never say never....
The other way around, MA being a (DLNA) source for those Media Servers is more likely to happen. In that case the music collection lives in MA and it can share that with the other platforms, just like it can send playback to supported platforms now.
If you want your music in MA, connect it to your streaming provider(s) or make sure it can access the local files. Development focus for MA will be in extending the features and have more music providers supported, including a way to directly connect a NAS/remote file location instead of mount workarounds.
@bmorgan99 I will close this issue here. Feel free to add a feature request in the discussions section for Plex server support. Best Eric

The DLNA integration immediately spotted and added my Plex server and I can fully access it from Windows and VLC. I can see in the logs that media_player is trying to hookup but it never happens.
