Agent does not show up in Plex settings

[Robinfr]

I've downloaded the ZIP file, extracted it, renamed it to YouTube-Agent.bundle and copied that to my Plex Plug-Ins folder on my server, yet even after making sure the permissions and owner are correctly set, and restarting multiple times, the agent does not show up in the settings. I've done this process several times, but to no avail.

Is there something else that I should be doing to get the agent to show up in the list of agents?

You could try another another agent (not form me) to see if it does show up

• if it doesn't show, it is no my agent icausing the issue
• if it does, you probably miss the plex token

• As per the readme troubleshooting section, the answer is in: [...]/Plex Media Server/Logs/PMS Plugin Logs/com.plexapp.system.lo

To avoid already solved issues, and make sure you do include all relevant logs in one go, please do the following:

Update to the latest Absolute Series Scanner, Youtube-Agent deleting all Plex logs leaving folders intact restart Plex Update the series Metadata including all the following logs: (location: https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200250417-Plex-Media-Server-Log-Files) [...]/Plex Media Server/Logs/PMS Plugin Logs/com.plexapp.agents.Youtube-Agent.log (Agent logs) [...]/Plex Media Server/Logs/PMS Plugin Logs/com.plexapp.system.log (show why the agent cannot launch) Screen capture to illustrate if needed. Above logs are still mandatory

Yes I tried https://github.com/JordyAlkema/Youtube-DL-Agent.bundle which does in fact show up. I'll see if I can try again today and see if there is anything in the logs.

com.plexapp.system.log should have the answer, and possibly missing the plex token and the fallback doesn't work in your case

There was indeed an error in there:

Created a PR to fix it #72 It shows up correctly after applying that fix.

My bad. Thanks for the fix
