Requirements

NVIDIA SHIELD (with root access)
- The instructions say to use su, but if you install the rooted image from Nvidia's developper portal you can use adb root to change adb shell into a root shell. If you choose to go down that path, you will not be able to use su to specify the user and context, so you have to use chcon -R -v u:object_r:app_data_file:s0:c512,c768 WebTools.bundle/ after coping the folder into it's location to change the context, and chown -R u0_a71:u0_a71 WebTools.bundle/ to change the owner. You should also use chmod to configure the file permissions to be less open. Note that "u:object_r:app_data_file:s0:c512,c768" is different from the one listed in these instructions, I copied it from the one shown on ls -Z Services.bundle/ from the Plugins folder.
Network share (used to copy the plugin onto the device)

Installation

See issue #334 for more discussion on how to install the plugin on NVIDIA SHIELD devices.

Install: Unsupported AppStore (v2)

PC: Download the latest release of the WebTools plugin from here
PC: Extract the downloaded ZIP archive and copy the WebTools.bundle folder to your network share
SHIELD: Mount network share via Settings -> Device -> Storage & reset -> Network storage
PC: Open a root shell on your shield device:

USB (via ADB)
```
adb shell
su
```
SSH (via PuTTY or openssh-client, with SSHDroid or SSHelper installed on shield device)
```
su
```
Note: Ensure you check the shield interface, you may need to grant root access after running the su command.
SHIELD/SHELL: Find the user and context for Plex Media Server:
```
ps -Z | grep "com.plexapp.system"
```
This command should return a line that looks something like:
```
u:r:untrusted_app:s0:c512,c768 u0_a75 [...]
```
SHIELD/SHELL: Open a new shell as the user and context running Plex Media Server:
```
su --context u:r:untrusted_app:s0:c512,c768 u0_a75
```
Replace u:r:untrusted_app:s0:c512,c768 and u0_a75 with the correct values from the previous step

cp -r "/storage/<share>/WebTools.bundle" "/data/user/0/com.plexapp.mediaserver.smb/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins/"
