Option One - Install to Your server (Preferred)

Pros: All user visiting your server by IP will get Plextras

3. Done! Everyone accessing your plex server via your IP (Not Plex.tv) will have these features as configured by you.

Option Two: Installing to Web Browser

Pros: Works on any Plex/Web instance you visit, including other servers and Plex.tv
Cons: Only works in the browser it's installed on

1. Have TamperMonkey/GreaseMonkey/Any UserScript manager installed on browser
2. Install the base user js from here (click raw)
3. Replace the script.src value with {your plextras URL}
4. Done!

Option Three: Installing to PMP

Pros: It's cool, and PMP is better than using browser
Cons: Only works in PMP

1. Locate your PMP web-client folder

   C:\Program Files\Plex\Plex Media Player\web-client\desktop\
