I wand to add a Plugin .bundle to my Plex Media Server inside the Plex Media Server in MY Cloud EX4. I’m being told this: you only need to do three things: 1. Put the plug-in (the .bundle) directory, with all its contents, in Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins 2. Set plex as the owner of all the files in the plug-in 3. Restart Plex I’m the Administrator but I don’t see a way of accessing it. I hope someone can help. Thanks in advance ---

You’ll need to do it via SSH. ---

Anyone else looking for information on this, it’s a bit more than “three things” 🙂 1. Enable ssh access on your My Cloud. 2. Download the 3rd-party channel zip file to your PC and unzip it into one of your My Cloud shares, for example, `Public`. The folder must have the extension `.bundle`. 3. Use PuTTY or similar terminal program to connect to your My Cloud via SSH and login as user sshd. 4. Confirm the location of the Plex plug-ins directory - on the My Cloud EX2 it is `"/mnt/HD/HD_a2/Nas_Prog/plex_conf/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins"`. 5. Move the bundle from the Public share to the Plex plug-ins directory: `# mv /shares/Public/name.bundle "/mnt/HD/HD_a2/Nas_Prog/plex_conf/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins"` 6. Change the ownership of the plug-in directory and its contents to root: `# chmod -R root:root "/mnt/HD/HD_a2/Nas_Prog/plex_conf/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins/name.bundle"` 7. Access Plex and you should see the newly-added plug-in on the Channels page. ---

Though I have liked your post a while ago, I now am getting to do this on my new PR4100. do I use the **"** as well? Thanks ---

You need to use "s around the path due to the spaces. If you are getting “permission denied”, check that `root` has write access to the `Plug-ins` directory. This is what the permissions are on my EX2: ``` # ls -l "/mnt/HD/HD_a2/Nas_Prog/plex_conf/Plex Media Server"|grep Plug-ins drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 4096 Feb 26 15:09 Plug-ins ``` ---

1. In control panel go to Shares tab 2. Set Up Shares 3. Press PLUS 4. add share named plex\_conf 5. Go to Apps tab 6. Choose Web File Viewer (or install it first by pressing PLUS) 7. Here’s your magical plex\_conf folder with Plex\ Media\ Server/Plug-ins ---

Does anyone know the Plex Plug-ins path for the EX2 Ultra? On mine, I can see everything up to “/mnt/HD/HD\_a2/Nas\_Prog/plex\_conf/Plex Media Server/”, however, I can cant change directory to “Plex Media Server”, I can just see it in the listing, so since I can’t see past that directory, I can’t see if there is a plug-ins directory. Any help would be appreciated! I would love to install some bundles on my EX2 Ultra. Thanks in advance!! Greg ---
