Feature Request: Stream music to Mopidy

Question - Feature request
Is there a way to stream a Plex music library to a mopidy media player?
I'm using the mopidy integration here as various different room media players:
https://github.com/bushvin/hass-integrations#mopidy v1.4.6
This is talking to Mopidy 3.2.0 on various raspberry PI's.
I've tried different card configurations like:
Card Configuration
type: custom:plex-meets-homeassistant
protocol: https
sort: ''
playTrailer: false
showExtras: false
showSearch: true
ip: plex.local
token: <yup>
port: '443'
entity: media_player.mediaPI (or cast | media_player.mediaPI)
libraryName: Music
From the native mopidy media player, the DLNA Server picker coming from plex plays music just fine...
I would rather use this interface for the picker, because it rocks.
or is there a good way to format the media_content_id
the mopidy integration uses as a pre/post script type of deal coming out of plexmeetshomeassistant.
Movies work fine to the TV.
Checks
Please check below if true:
[x] I am running Home Assistant on HTTP protocol
[x] I am running BOTH Home Assistant AND Plex on HTTPS protocol
[x] My Plex server is accessible through protocol, port and ip/hostname I have specified for the card.
[x] My Plex server is running on HTTPS and has a valid certificate.
Plex Version
Version 1.25.6.5577
Hello, new target player would need to be added.
Could you please share how do you play music from plex on mpd target via a service call?
Currently it is through the mopidy add-on https://github.com/bushvin/hass-integrations#mopidy
It shows up in a media player card like so.
type: media-control
entity: media_player.livingroompi
Calling the service like so (sorry had to dig how to do this)
service: media_player.play_media
data:
media_content_type: music
media_content_id: http://192.168.1.7:8123/local/audio/justtesting.mp3 or what ever url.
target:
entity_id: media_player.livingroompi
Plays the file on the device.
