Detail Steps

PLEX PLUGIN INSTALLATION

Installation of Plex Channels is pretty straightforward and these steps will work whether you are installing one of the recommended channels above, or any other Plex Unofficial Channel. These steps are specifically for a Windows based system, but the process should be similar with other operating systems.

1. After you have downloaded the channel you want, unzip the file to a location which is easy to access on your Plex server system. You can use WinZip or 7Zip or a similar program to do this.
2. Locate your Plex media server plugins folder. The easiest way to do this is to click the Plex server icon in your system tray (bottom right of screen, next to the date and time) and click “Open Plug-ins folder”.
3. In the Plex Plug-ins Folder you will notice many folders which end with “.bundle”. You will also notice when you unzipped the your Plex Channel, that a folder with the same “.bundle” came out of there.
4. Now you simply need to copy the folder with the “.bundle” to the Plex data plug-in folder.

1. You will need to double check that your folder name doesn’t end in a “-master” or “-stable”. It should just end with “.bundle” and nothing else (as shown in the image above).
2. Restart your Plex Server
