Plex Media Server

Post by aidan_dillon »

Has anyone been able to install the Plex Media Server on Bubba?

Plex say that it can be installed on Debian. See here:
https://forums.plex.tv/index.php/topic/ ... epository/

The first three lines work for me (as root, without the sudo) but the final install does not. Has anyone been able to install this? I'd really like to be able to use my B2 as the server rather than a PC for using Plex with a Roku.

Thanks,
Aidan.

I don't think that's possible. The packages I've found for Linux are i386 only. But if you find anything useful, please share 8)

Hi,

For information, Plex Media Server is available for archlinuxarm.
I tried a bit, seems to work well.

Hey past_51

can you please add some further informations to your post? I've been looking on archlinuxarm for an aproppriate package for my b3 but I'm not sure which package.

Can you help me?

Thx

Hi AcEswiss,

not 100% sure as I don't run this package myself, but based on this post, and then following up with a search on archlinuxarm.org, I would guess the package name you need is plex-media-server (you need armv5 for the B3). Assuming so, then on the Arch live-USB, you can simply run:

Code: Select all

[root@archb3 ~]# pacman -S plex-media-server
to install it.

Best, sakaki
