Thank you for pointing this out. I am dismayed there are those who think I spread misinformation.
To Summarize:
- Plex Product and Engineering teams deprecated Plug-ins over 2 years ago
- Plex/web team, at product direction, removed User-Facing plug-ins.
- DSM 7 mandated a storage structure change which removed the “Plex” shared folder.
What does this mean?
- Plug-ins must be installed via the SSH command line – If used.
- If, when diagnosing a problem, we see
- Evidence of a third-party plug-in
- And it’s interfering with proper PMS operation,
- We will instruct to:
- Remove the Plug-in,
- Retest
- Provide updated log files which show the problems exist without the plug-in in use.
CAVEAT: We will overlook secondary issues from a Plug-in’s removal PROVIDED use of the plug-in didn’t create an unworkable situation (installed or removed)
BE ADVISED: Any manually-installed Plug-ins may work – UNTIL THEY DON’T
caveat emptor
