Fixes

Fix: Permissions

Copying the plugin into the Plug-ins folder may result in incorrect permissions on the Trakttv.bundle folder, permissions can be fixed with the following steps:

1. Determine the user + group which has ownership of Plex Media Server:

   stat --format '%U:%G' "/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server"

2. Update ownership of the Trakttv.bundle folder

   sudo chown -R plex:plex "/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins/Trakttv.bundle"

   (Replace plex:plex with the output from step 1)

3. Update permissions on the Trakttv.bundle folder

   sudo chmod -R 770 "/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins/Trakttv.bundle"
