Plex Unsupported AppStore
For all of you Plex users out there who don’t know about the Unsupported AppStore, let me fill you in. First off, if you use CouchPotato or SAB or any of the HTPC apps that I endorse on this site: the Unsupported Appstore has plugins for Plex that allow you to interface with them directly from your Plex. No other device needed to connect to add your new movies or TV shows, all right through your HTPC. EASY PEASY. Plus for all the adult content lovers out there, there are multiple plugins that allow the streaming of pr0n! So now on to installing it the Unsupported Appstore on your HTPC!

I’ve been trying to get this to work for hours with no luck. I have windows 7 64 bit. I downloaded the zip file, extracted it to C:\Users\(usernam)\AppData\Local\Plex Media Server\Plug-ins but i cannot see the appstore anywhere. I have restarted reinstalled many times. I read on one forum to look under videos, no luck, i have looked under all available plugsin and no luck. There is no listing to see apps either. Any suggestions? I am dying to get to the let me watch this plugin. Thanks!
I was having the same problem. I was able to fix mine because i had my unsupported folder inside another folder called unsupported, and it didn’t show up in videos. As soon as i removed one of the unsupported folders, and restarted the PMS, it showed up in my video channel.
Is the .bundle folder green in windows explorer? I had this problem, and it has to do with the folder being encrypted. Google how to make it normal (decrypt it) and it should work. Then, restart your server, and it should work. Did for me.
Hope that helps…

works super on the samsung smart tv ~~
I installed this but when I try to watch anything (through ICEfilms or Letmewatchthis) it always displays the frown and “This Channel is currently unavailable”. Any ideas? This is on a Windows 7 version running Plex/Web.
