Help adding new agent to Plex docker

[Medwynd]

I would like to add an agent to Plex to import from nfo files instead of the agents listed.  All of my movies are currently cataloged using MyMovies (http://www.mymovies.dk/) which can export nfo data and, in my opinion, has much better data and covers than the available sources.

 

That said, I am trying to add these plugins to Plex using the limetech docker for PMS:

The instructions state to:

- Download from github and unzip

- Remove "-master" from the end of both folder names.

- Copy them to the folder:  /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins

- Find the group number for user "plex" by command "id plex".

- "cd" to folder in step 3 and change ownership of both XBMC bundles: "sudo chown plex:{gid} XBMC*"

- run "sudo service plexmediaserver restart".

Done.

 

I have copied the bundles to /mnt/cache/appdata/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins via the /cache share that I can see on my windows machine.

 

When I navigate to that path on my unraid server, I see no files.

 

So my questions are:

Am I copying these files over incorrectly/why can I not see them?

Has anyone else tried to accomplish this before?

Does anyone foresee any other installation problems trying to get plugins installed inside the limetech PMS docker?

If on unraid, you cannot see the files, then they were not copied properly. It could be due to a permission issue.

 

Try copying them in midnight commander (type mc in unraid terminal)

Pretty sure this plugin is apart of the unsupported app store package for plex as well, so if you install that one, it should have a installer for the ones your looking for built in.

From what I can tell the unsupported app package no longer installs properly
