Hi,
I'm just wondering how I go about installing the unsupported app store in Plexmediaserver?
I've found instructions to do this for Plex, but not for plexmediaserver in OMV.

You probably an follow the same instructions
Check where you installed the database folder under the plex settings in OMV.
Then ssh into your server, cd into the folder and follow the guide here: http://forums.plex.tv/discussion/126254/rel-webtools/p1
Thanks Lars, I'll have a go at this today.
Has someone been able to install plex webtools on OMV? or it is not supported yet?
I followed that link above but it is not clear to me what to do there.
thanks
Plex WebTools works for me on OMV 2.x and 3.x. I just followed the installation directions in the above posted link.

Sorry I am a super noob on this. Pretty much everything I have done on OMV is because I copy exactly what to type.
Could you give me a hint or where to start?
I found the location on the settings>server>backup directory as:
/srv/dev-disk-by-label-Vault103/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-in Support/Databases
I am not sure what I should type then
I can keep reading but it has been a while of keep trying lol
You don't type stuff in. You copy the specified folder and its contents. OMV assumes some basic familiarity with the Linux shell .

I found that folder on my PC and I saw it and played around with it and it is fine, but I would like to install it on my NAS, because I will leave my PC turned off.
Well, I managed to install it but I cant get into the tool. I get the error:
This site can’t be reached
I followed this tutorial for a raspberry pi< not sure if it was right:
Installing WebTools utility on Raspberry Pi Plex Media Server
Ok, so after doing a lot of reading and asking on the Plex forum, this is what I can get done:
My server is called NAS, so I have this:
root@NAS:/#
then do the following:
cd /srv/dev-disk-by-label-Vault103/plexmediaserver/Library/Application\ Support/Plex\ Media\ Server/Plug-ins/
sudo wget https://github.com/ukdtom/WebTools.bundle/releases/download/2.4.1/WebTools.bundle.zip
sudo apt-get install unzip -y
sudo unzip WebTools*
sudo rm -rf WebTools.bundle.zip
sudo chown plex:plex -R ./WebTools.bundle
sudo reboot
it doesnt work .
then I double check with
and I can see the permission look fine (or should be):
drwxr-xr-x 9 plex nogroup 4096 Nov 8 18:32 .
drwxr-xr-x 10 plex nogroup 4096 Nov 8 19:30 ..
drwxr-xr-x 3 plex plex 4096 Nov 7 18:38 CNN.bundle
drwxr-xr-x 3 plex plex 4096 Nov 7 18:32 FOX.bundle
drwxr-xr-x 3 plex plex 4096 Nov 7 18:38 History Channel.bundle
drwxr-xr-x 3 plex plex 4096 Nov 7 18:37 RT America.bundle
drwxr-xr-x 3 plex plex 4096 Nov 8 10:22 Services.bundle
drwxr-xr-x 3 plex plex 4096 Nov 7 18:36 Sub-Zero.bundle
drwxr-xr-x 4 plex plex 4096 Nov 8 18:32 WebTools.bundle
I am not sure what I am missing
any help would be appreciated

Very new at all this but I followed your steps... Everything works over here lol.
Huge typo in your dir path. Also not sure if it helps but mine was in "/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins".
Can you see the channel in the channel section of PMS?
Also its yourserverip:33400
Hope you can get yours working
Yeah, the typo in the file path in your command is likely your problem, try using tab to auto-complete the correct path. Also, looks like the Plex database was installed to a non-OS drive, @willocrisp5000, which is why your path was different.
FYI. I had the same problem. Changed the permissions, still couldn't login... Clearing the browsers cache worked D-:
After 7 months of had thrown the towel on this. I managed to make it work.
I had the wrong location the whole time.... oh God... The right location was here
Now I have access to rthe new webtools 3.0.0
well, it is better to get something to work later than never lol
Ok, just coming back to this.
Just thinking on leaving my solution cleared.
This is what I did to get the unsupported app working in my NAS server for Plex.
cd /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application\ Support/Plex\ Media\ Server/Plug-ins/
sudo wget https://github.com/ukdtom/WebTools.bundle/releases/download/3.0.0/WebTools.bundle.zip
sudo apt-get install unzip -y
sudo unzip WebTools*
sudo rm -rf WebTools.bundle.zip
sudo chown plex:plex -R ./WebTools.bundle
sudo reboot
on line 1, I am using the right location. Before I was setting everything up on the svr\ folder.
on line 2, the latest webtool 3.0 will be downloaded.
I think it is important to mention that the path
/var/lib/plexmediaserver/
is the path to the library of plexmedia as specified in the plugin of docker. So it can vary on different installations depending on the configuration.

Yes, you are right, but for some strange reason, when I used to check the location on the plex plugin settings, it was saying the location was on svr/ folder, until I finally googled it and read someone saying it was on var/ folder.
I am at the office but I will double check when I get home to see if I am not seeing stuff lol
I couldn't make plex working on docker (I haven't had time to figure it out) so that is why I am using the plugin.
