Hi,
I am trying to add new plug-ins to my plexmediaserver however I can change to the application support directory from the previous directory. I think cd have a problem with the space in between the two words in the directory name. I am trying double check if I correctly copied the plug-in bundle to that folder or not because I can not access the plug-ins page localhost:33400. Not sure if the two issues are related or not?
Thanks,
Aaron
Aaron,
New to Linux? 
cd "/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins"
(spaces are significant to the command line and you must quote them)
Linux is all about using the command line. Not to be harsh but If you’re uncomfortable about learning it, maybe you should rethink how much effort a Linux PMS system will be?
Plug-ins do not go in the Plug-in Support directory.
Thanks! Where should I put them for the current version of Plex Media Server? I followed a page here that was talking about plug-ins and it has worked previously but is not working now.
Huh…
WebTools never had a post saying to put plugins into the Plug-in Support directory, but into the Plug-ins directory below the Library directory!
I don’t mention “Plug-in Support” but “Application Support”
/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins/
Aaron,
Please re-read my post in its entirety
I gave you the precise location to install plug-ins which is
"/var/lib/plexmediaserver/library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins"
Plug-ins copied here must be owned by plex:plex. The normal technique is a simple chown -R plex:plex "plug-in name"
The name of the plugin must end with .bundle and not bundle-master
Then restart PMS.
What am I missing? The path you posted looks like the one I am using.
Does the bundle you try to add have a directory named <Something>.bundle?
Is there a directory right below that named: Contents?
Just checked “/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins” and sure enough the .zip file was there but guess what? I had forgotten to unzip it.
I think they call that a proper PEBKAC
Have some 
You’ll start laughing at it and realize we ALL do it in a few minutes
lol
Just tried accessing the plugins area using
and it worked! not sure what it was not working when I initially posted! Thanks guys for your help. Yes, I am still learning Linux after using Windows most of my life, I am finding Windows a resource hog and that it likes to hide things from the user.
Hmm…
WebTools…
Next time, please use it’s support thread
Ah ok! Thanks.
