I have PMS running on Raspberry PI 2!

Now something completely different: the plexmediaserver-installer package :slight_smile: The package bundles only the Debian maintainer scripts and not much more. During postinst the package retrieves the PMS binaries from plex.tv and copies them to /usr/lib/plexmediaserver. There is no cronjob or update script in the package. I will update the package as soon as there is a new PMS server available, just like before, but you will get the binaries now directly from plex.tv. I performed many tests myself, but you might want to wait till we have positive feedback from other brave testers :slight_smile:

The old package is removed automatically at the moment you install plexmediaserver-installer. Your meta data should survive the switch to the new package. You should backup your /etc/default/plexmediaserver if you had changed something there before.

How to switch:

apt-get update
apt-get install plexmediaserver-installer

If there are serious issues with this installer package I will also push 0.9.16.4 of the old package to my repo.

Have fun! :slight_smile:
