I am getting back into plex after being offline for the last year. I remember there being plugins for Fox, CBS, etc. I have a cable subscription through my aunt and would to have all-in one media setup on my devices. My main source of streaming will through my NVIDIA Shield TV, iPad, and phone. ---

Plugins and channels are no longer. 💀 **Plugins** : This was not a decision taken lightly, as they’ve been around for a long time, and we’ve had good times both writing and using them. But bluntly, hardly anyone uses them (less than 2% of users), the ancient protocol they use is a continued pain for clients to support, and if we were to build the feature again, we’d do it very differently in this day and age. For utility-type functionality, we love standalone apps like [Tautulli](https://tautulli.com/) and believe this is a better approach. But don’t panic—while the Plugin Directory will soon be gone, you can still manually install plugins for the foreseeable future. > **[Subtitles and Sunsets: big improvements and a little housekeeping | Plex](https://www.plex.tv/blog/subtitles-and-sunsets-big-improvements-little-housekeeping/?_ga=2.16074933.2028336135.1578748191-1634007269.1578748191)** > > Hi!

I believe you can still manually install plugins. > [@Is manual install of plugins dead?](https://forums.plex.tv/t/is-manual-install-of-plugins-dead/516250): > > I understand that Plex discontinued plugins, but every post I have seen says that you can still manually install plugins on the server. I am new to Plex and am either doing something wrong or Plex has discontinued the manual installation of plugins. Here’s some info about my setup: I am running the newest version of Plex Media Server on Linux. I have downloaded several different plugins, uncompressed them, moved them to the correct folder, removed “master”, and have changed permissions to Plex… ---

There is no help. Plugins are gone. Try to manually install it like proposed above in this thread. ---
