Fixes

Fix: Permissions

Copying the plugin into the Plug-ins folder may result in incorrect permissions on the Trakttv.bundle folder, permissions can be fixed with the following steps:

  1. Determine the user + group which has ownership of Plex Media Server:

    stat --format '%U:%G' "/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server"
  2. Update ownership of the Trakttv.bundle folder

    sudo chown -R plex:plex "/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins/Trakttv.bundle"

    (Replace plex:plex with the output from step 1)

  3. Update permissions on the Trakttv.bundle folder

    sudo chmod -R 770 "/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins/Trakttv.bundle"
