Request for Instructions to Install HAMA and Absolute Series Scanner Plugins on TerraMaster F6-424 NAS - Enquiries - 10-10-2025
Hello,
I would like to request a detailed explanation on how to manually install the HAMA (HTTP AniDB Metadata Agent) and Absolute Series Scanner (ASS) plugins for Plex on my TerraMaster F6-424 NAS.
Please provide the correct procedure to install these plugins, either through the TOS interface or via SSH access, including the exact directory path where the .bundle files should be placed so Plex can detect them properly.
Thank you for your support and assistance.
Best regards,
Mohammed

Good question — Plex removed native plugin support a while ago, but you can still install metadata agents like HAMA and scanners like Absolute Series Scanner (ASS) manually on your TerraMaster F6-424. Here’s how to do it safely:
1. Access Your NAS via SSH or File Manager
• First, make sure Plex is installed and running.
• Then connect via SSH or use the File Manager in TOS to browse Plex’s plugin directory.
• The correct path (for Docker or native Plex) is usually one of these:
/volume1/PlexMediaServer/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins/
or (on TerraMaster’s default setup):
/mnt/md0/appdata/PlexMediaServer/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins/
2. Download the Plugins
• HAMA: https://github.com/ZeroQI/Hama.bundle
• Absolute Series Scanner: https://github.com/ZeroQI/Absolute-Series-Scanner.bundle
Download both .bundle folders and unzip them if necessary.
3. Copy the Bundles to Plex
• Place both folders (Hama.bundle and Absolute-Series-Scanner.bundle) into the Plug-ins directory listed above.
• Make sure folder names end with .bundle and that permissions allow the plex user to read/write.
4. Restart Plex
• Either restart Plex via the TOS App Center or SSH using:
sudo systemctl restart plexmediaserver
• After restarting, go to Plex Web UI → Settings → Agents and you’ll see the new options under TV Series metadata.
5. Optional
If Plex was installed via Docker, you’ll need to mount the plugin directory to your container at runtime, for example:
-v /mnt/md0/appdata/plex/Plug-ins:/config/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins
