Currently, I have no issues using the webgui to login to my home account and see plugins and use them. But on my PMP clients (Embedded for Pi3) I can see anywhere to show the plugins.
(Trying to get access to old shoutcast plugins for streaming music stations)
Thanks!
Plugins are no more, announced in 2018:

Yea, I understand that. But that also says old plugins will continue to work.
I can view it when i use my PLEX login on the PMP. I just can’t see it on the home screen at the bottom when logging in as a home user. Is there something I can do to see the plugins as a home user like I can as a plex login?
Only until these announced changes are implemented into the various client types.
Recent updates did this for the web app and PMP.
The only types of plugins which are still working are Agents and Tools like e.g. ExportTools
Not sure I understand that Otto. It works fine for me if I log in using my PLEX account. Just not when I login using a HOME account.
It works fine on the WebGUI and PMP Embedded for me.
Plugins also needed to be allowed for each managed/shared user indivdually.
But as I said: they are effectively dead by now, as almost no client type is still supporting them.
OK well, I guess plugins are dead for me going forward. 
Thanks
So now is there any way with Plex to have streaming music aside from Tidal?
Sure you build a music library just like you would any video library. That’s what Plex has always been about.
I think you misread my last post (or misinterpreted it). I have my local collection, but for all the songs I don’t yet have or don’t know about I listen to streaming services such as Tidal that Plex does support (music not hosted by me).
So I’m guessing you were saying, it’s no longer possible correct?
Correct. You will need to use the native app for the streaming service that you’re subscribed to.
Except if that streaming service happens to be Tidal. 
That’s disappointing. That ends up making Plex no longer usable for my needs. Reason being is because I use my Raspberry Pi PCs all around the house. When using an embedded PMP with my remote etc it makes it impossible to use the “native app” like you suggested. With Kodi I would have no issues with this. That’s really disappointing, I was so happy with everything about Plex. But talking away all streaming music sources except one that is tied to Plex is really… well…
I don’t want to bash Plex at all, I love the product but I think it’s important for users to let you know what they don’t like etc. Reasons they are finding other apps to achieve the same thing Plex aloud in the past.
Yup. Things change, and sometimes you just have to move on.
Interesting that you mention some tools will continue to work like exporttools. Mine has stopped working with these newer updates. Have they tossed that to the wind too? Is there anything available similar that will currently work with Plex? I am trying to download an excel (or list of any format) to download my titles.
Update ExportTools to the latest version and it will work. Make sure to read the instructions, because making them work required a bit of a workaround.
