Someone should file an issue with the plex.tv folks and point them at the documenation for filtering unwanted provides¹.¹ https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:AutoProvidesAndRequiresFiltering
I ended up checking the Plex forums and found a post where someone else from this list brought up some other packaging issues (hi Richard! ;).
I added some comments regarding the spurious provides (along with sample code to filter them, since complaints are usually easier to hear when they are followed by solutions). The thread is here:
