The ways we are interacting with a tutorial, audiobook, movie, or TV series are all very different, and it takes work to bend Plex to be a good fit with all these scenarios. It’s been a long journey and I hope to accelerate your own learning curve. Over the past decade I went back and forth between Plex and Emby as my media server of choice but eventually settled on the former after I switched my server from my desktop PC to an Nvidia Shield, then to a Docker container in a Synology NAS.

I have 150TB+ in Plex organized in a dozen different libraries, learned a lot along the way, and will share my notes in this entry.

Restart Plex Media Server to make sure that the new plugin will be loaded.It’s very easy to get started with Plex to handle a simple movie or TV show collection, but as you add different types of content and grow your libraries, it becomes more and more complicated to keep everything tidy and easy to use.

Copy or move the plug-in bundle into the Plug-Ins folder (see article linked below) on the computer running Plex Media Server.

Edit the bundle’s file or folder name to remove any text after “.bundle”

Bundles downloaded from GitHub will usually have extra identifiers appended to the bundle’s filename, such as “-master”.

Usually, the plug-in bundle will be located within a zip archive.

If the link leads to a GitHub page rather than a direct download, select the “Download Zip” button on the page to download the zipped bundle Sometimes the bundle will be posted on the Plex forum or available via link to download from GitHub. To install plug-in bundles manually, you will first need a link to the plug-in bundle.

As such they are often referred to as bundles. The code for a Plex plugin is contained within a directory named with a “.bundle” suffix.
