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"

The plugin may require the cpu_type to be manually set to marvell-pj4 in some cases. If the plugin isn't starting up correctly the following steps may resolve the issue:

1. Navigate to the following directory (either via SSH, or other means):

   /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-in Support/Data/com.plexapp.plugins.trakttv
   

2. Create the advanced.ini file inside this directory with the following contents:

   [libraries]
   cpu_type = marvell-pj4
