Step 1: Download the UnSupported AppStore bundle

We're assuming that you already have Plex running on your computer, so we're skipping right to downloading the unsupported apps.  http://cordcutting.com/files/UnSupportedAppStore.bundle.zip Click here to download the UnSupported AppStore bundle.It will download as a .zip file.

Step 2: Unzip UnSupportedAppStore.bundle.zip

After you unzip it, the UnSupported AppStore should look like this.

Now go check out the downloaded .zip file. Just extract it to any folder you'd like, and meet us at the next step!

Step 3: Copy the extracted folder

Cut or copy UnSupportedAppStore.bundle

Now that the bundle is unzipped (it should just be called UnSupportedAppStore.bundle at this point, as shown in the image), right-click it. In the drop-down menu, select "Cut." Now you're carrying the bundle around on your clipboard, ready to put it where it belongs.

Step 4: Open the Plex plug-ins folder

Look for the Plex icon in the taskbar menu (it's the bottom-right one seen here).


Click "Open Plug-ins Folder" (second from top option).

Now navigate to the Plex plug-ins folder. This is where you're going to want to put the UnSupported AppStore bundle. To get to the Plex plug-ins folder quickly in Windows, just right-click the Plex Media Service icon on the task bar menu and choose "Open Plug-ins Folder" from the drop-down menu.

Step 5: Paste the bundle into the plug-ins folder

After you paste it, UnSupportedAppStore.bundle should show up in your plug-ins folder.

Now that you have the plug-ins folder open, just right-click it and select "Paste" from the drop-down menu. This will put the UnSupported AppStore bundle into the plug-ins folder.

And that's it! Next time you open Plex, you'll see the UnSupported AppStore among your channels. It will look just like a regular channel, and opening the app store will give you a ton of new Plex channel options that aren't available in the regular Plex App Store. Have fun exploring your new channels!




Once the UnSupported AppStore is in your plug-ins folder, it should show up as a channel.
