I followed the above without any errors, but couldn’t open plex in the browser with “ IP:32400/web” Don’t forget, if this has helped you out, or if you just love supporting nice guys who wanna keep giving knowledge for free, please head over to our Patreon page, or throw a bit in the tip jar. Good luck, and if you have any questions or comments, please leave them below. For me, that’d be 192.168.0.5 or something like that, since the pool seemingly starts at 100. Easiest way to do that would be to use your router’s DHCP reservations to hard-set the Pi to something outside your DHCP pool. The IP address will most likely be different for yours, and you might even want to set it up as a static IP. So to open Plex in my browser, from my computer I entered: 192.168.0.105:32400/web That showed the IP address of my Pi under “Ethernet”… 192.168.0.105 To get my IP address, I brought up the terminal on the Pi and typed: sudo ifconfig

I then created the mountpoint: sudo mkdir /mnt/libraryĪnd made it so it can only be written to if mounted: sudo chattr +i /mnt/libraryĪnd finally, mounted the drive: sudo mount -aįrom there, I could easily add folders on my external drive to Plex using the web interface, which you’ll find on Port 32400 in the /web subfolder on your Pi. Since our drive was /dev/sda1, and of the filesystem type “fat32” this is what I did to make it work as the media library for Plex Media Server: sudo nano /etc/fstabĪnd add the following line: /dev/sda1 /mnt/library fatfs defaults 0 0 (Thanks to Steve for submitting this additional step)Īnd there you have it! All the commands we used to get Plex Media Server installed on a Raspberry Pi 3 in a nice clean blog post 🙂įrom there, we plugged in the USB flash drive (don’t do it! Use a proper external hard drive–this was only a demonstration) and after it mounted we used the following command to see its /dev assignment: sudo mount Sudo chown -R pi:pi /var/lib/plexmediaserver Create the default config file so Plex knows what user to operate under.Įcho "PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_USER=pi" | sudo tee -a /etc/default/plexmediaserver.

#Install plex media server raspberry pi install#

Sudo apt install plexmediaserver-installer This is the “easy” method (which didn’t work for us because my keyboard was in some weird mode with no pipe character): wget -O - | sudo apt-key add -Īlternate method (which I had to use on the show since I didn’t have a pipe character… I’ve cleaned it up a bit since the live show so it is cleaner since it was an unexpected twist and I kinda made it seem more confusing than it should): wget -O /tmp/pms.key

Add the Plex Media Server repository provided by Universität Leipzig.Įcho "deb jessie main" | sudo tee /etc/apt//pms.list.

If you already have this, it’ll report as “already the current version” and you can move on.

Add the ability for apt to use https repositories.

#Install plex media server raspberry pi upgrade#

In terminal, upgrade your distro to the latest and greatest.

These steps are more current than those used in the video (a new video will be coming soon). Updated Februdue to some evolution of the process.

Obvious stuff like a good MicroSD card, Ethernet cable (preferred as opposed to wifi), keyboard and mouse… etc.

I won’t get into the full details here, since this is only a supplement to give you some copy-and-paste instructions, but I’d encourage you to watch the video.

#Install plex media server raspberry pi how to#

On the show, Jeff and I demonstrated how to turn a Raspberry Pi 3 with Raspbian Jessie into a Plex Media Server, giving you the chance to stream your entire video and music library to all your devices. I wanted to document the instructions shared on Episode 459 to supplement the episode.
