I downloaded Plex and store my movies on a stand alone computer- call it a movie server. I then access this movie server from other computers using Plex interface - IP address - http://192.168.1.3:32400/web/index.html
Now I want AMX to also access and control. Has anyone done this?

Not with Plex. It has been done with XBMC in the past, but they moved everything to JSON-RPC. It hasn't been touched since.
I was personally considering writing a module for it and selling it, but I honestly doubt it would be high in demand. It would mean spending a lot of time on development for a few sales. So unless I could sell the modules for $10k a piece it wouldn't really be viable.
On an iOS device you could just launch a PLEX (or KODI) remote app. Achieving what you want to do in a much cheaper fashion. (This doesn't give you the control you probably want on native AMX devices)
A group of PLEX enthusiasts are working on a splinter PLEX revision that restores many of the lost functions including external control. Their topic is among the most active on the PLEX forums, which rival AMX's for breadth and depth... and politic.

Edit: nevermind, R Verstappen has attempted it, see:
https://github.com/rverstappen/AMX
He hasn't touched it since four years ago so I don't know if it works.
Edit2:
I checked the module out, but it's still using HTTP requests so it won't work any more. You would need to write a JSON-RPC module.
