  • No, I do not need to install the program. It is installed. I have access to the folder with the program. To install the add-ons.

    Let's back up, I am not sure I am understanding you.

    What are you trying to do in the "plex media server" folder"??? Are you wanting to install plex add-ons?

    Ok, so Plex is installed, but you want to try an install plex add-ons that are not ReadyNAS add-ons.

    I haven't done that. Super-Poussin's suggestion might well work, though I thought that was limited to ReadyNas apps.

    There are two other ways to get access to the plex system folders:
    (a) enter \\NASNAME\data\.apps into windows explorer, using the NAS admin log on and password as the credentials.
    (b) enable ssh on the system services page, and connect using something like putty. Log on using "root" as the username and the admin password.
  • Sorry for my english. I have already installed Plex and anti-virus. I want to install the plugin kinoroisk.ru. I need access to the plugin folder Plex. I need to copy the file kinopoisk.bundle

    The answers above don't let you access it?

    "\\NASNAME\data\.apps\plexmediaserver\MediaLibrary\Plex Media Server\Plug-ins" with NAS admin credentials.
  • When I try to go to this folder it won't let me access it either. It won't give me a windows box to put in my credentials when I put this address in to windows explorer and this folder is hidden when I go in to my NAS in windows explorer. Any suggestions?
