I’m trying to learn how to install meta data agents so i thought. So i thought i would try with TVMaze  
I downloaded tvmaze-plex-agent-master put it in the plugin folder App Data\Plex Media Server\Plug-ins  
closed and reopened media server … thinking it would show up… nothing…

so can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong

Pretty sure you picked the wrong `Plug-ins` folder. There are two of them. You want the one in your plex _data_ folder, not the one in the _program_ folder.

Thanks

You were correct I was able to add it as an Agent but I was unable to add it as metadata agent for TV shows

I just moved it into the correct folder and it still isn’t appearing in Plex…
