Plugin .Bundle In Plex Media Server

Anyone else looking for information on this, it’s a bit more than “three things” :slight_smile:

  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.
