(Newswire.net — July 17, 2020) — A Plex plugin helps turn your seedbox into a media center where you can live stream your favorite TV shows directly from your seedbox. Some seedboxes come with Plex plugins pre-installed and ready to use. However, you can also set up Plex on your seedbox, and modify it to suit your needs with the help of various plugins available.
The only major issue with Plex is that the company decided to shut down sometime in 2018, claiming that only 2% of its users used their services, and it was hard to support them.
However, they didn’t shut down completely. You can still install the Plex plugins you need, but make sure to look out for ones that aren’t infested by bugs and are available and still operating. Here are a few Plex plugins that are still available and are working.
WebTools
WebTools are one of the most used Plex plugins. You can download any unofficial Plex add-ons on your server using web tools. It’s like the unofficial Plex app store because you can find all your Plex plugins there.
Web tools will give a different IP address you can use to access any of the applications. Interestingly, the credentials you use for web tools are the same as those you use on the Plex server, so you don’t have to use different credentials when accessing the two separate accounts.
Sub-Zero
Users will be happy to hear that Sub-Zero is among the plugins available on the Plex server. Sub-Zero is an essential plugin that helps you generate subtitles for any shows you’re watching. It automatically downloads subtitles for TV shows you’re streaming, and it also uses some of the best subtitle sites like SubScene and OpenSubtitles, among others.
Additionally, it also lets you adjust the subtitles with a built-in schedule with its interface.
Trakt.tv
Trakt.tv is a popular Plex plugin that lets its users track the TV shows and movies they are streaming, and enables them to continue exactly where they left off. You can still download the plugin manually, and it will work perfectly. However, if multiple users are tracking the same movie, it can be a problem because it becomes difficult tracking them all at the same time.
Mangahere
This is a new plugin on the Plex server for manga lovers. If you’re an enthusiast of reading mangas and animated comics, then this is the plugin for you. Mangahere routes the mangas directly to your Plex server, and then you can access them from there without any disturbance or access to other manga sites.
Plex may be planning to phase out its services completely. However, users with seedboxes who are planning to modify their live streaming experience should do that now. Some installation processes and a few additional apps may be required, but it’s worth the effort to enhance your viewing experience greatly. Make sure to get more information from your seedbox provider about the different plugins.
