  1. Help!
    I’ve followed your instructions on adding Pear to Plex for my Roku….. Except the last step. I cannot locate the add-ons file in Plex. Can I just copy the file and just drop it into Plex??
    Thanks,
    Jim

    1. You should be able to find the plex folder by right-clicking the icon like in the picture. Are you doing this on a PC? Once you do that you just paste the folder into the plugins section with the others.
