Caster is a channel for the Plex Media Server & Center suite of software programs. This channel allows you to create casters (really just channels) that launch external applications.
NOTE: For illustrated directions, see the document entitled "Caster_Installation_Instructions.pdf", under the "Documentation" folder.
- On the computer system running Plex Media Server (PMS), right-click on its tray icon, and select "Open Plug-ins Folder".
- Copy the "Caster.bundle" folder, to PMS's plug-in folder.
- After a bit, the plug-in should show up in the PMS's Media Manager (right-click the PMS tray icon, and select "Media Manager..."; if you already have it open, refresh the browser). If it doesn't appear after a few minutes, restart PMS (right-click the PMS tray icon, select Exit then, re-launch the PMS application).
NOTE: See the document entitled "How_to_Cast_an_External_Program.pdf" under the "Documentation" folder, for step-by-step instructions on how to create casters (really just Plex channels).
