Anyone else looking for information on this, it’s a bit more than “three things”
- Enable ssh access on your My Cloud.
- 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
. - Use PuTTY or similar terminal program to connect to your My Cloud via SSH and login as user sshd.
- 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"
. - 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"
- 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"
- Access Plex and you should see the newly-added plug-in on the Channels page.
