Wants to remove binutils:armhf and install normal “binutils”

This “bug” will be fixed in the next release.
PlexPass users can try 0.9.17.0. I posted a link to my 0.9.17.0 package in the sticky Plex Media Server - Transcoder Preview thread. It fixes the RPi2/3 alignment issue and the binutils dependency. However, read the release notes carefully before testing it. Also, do not post the link in this thread (PlexPass only!)
Thanks for the tutorial to install PMS in the raspberry pi. I have installed on my raspberry pi 3 and it has worked.
The problem comes when I reset the pi. Restarting the Pi the server does not autostart.
Are there a command to autostart PMS when turn on the pi?

You need to tell this systemd, it’s the same procedure for any Linux daemon (atm).
To enable autostart: sudo systemctl enable plexmediaserver
To start PMS: sudo systemctl start plexmediaserver
Hello @uglymagoo , have you tested the new transcoder? Is it works now?
I’ve plexpass and I’m very interested to install.
Have you made some installer for this or I must download a specific version?
Plex Pass users can grab the latest, rather well working preview release 0.9.17.2 in the PMS preview forum.
@uglymagoo do you have a link to it? I assume it’s behind a login so it’s safe to share
@blindpet I am talking about this thread 
Hello there guys,
I reached here because I was looking for some info about the same error I am having…
My problem is related to the pms that won´t run… if I try start.sh manually I get the “Illegal instruction”… I´ve found here on page 45 a probable solution provided by @uglymagoo that asked the user to try the neonless package of plexmediaserver… Well I did it and even not fully understanding what I was doing, not even if that is my specific issue (I was giving it a try since I had the same error apparenlty) but no dice… I got the same “Illegal Instruction” error…
I am here humbling asking for some help (even on how to grab logs and msgs that I know are very important right now for diagnoses).
I am running a Rasperry pi 2 on the latest raspbian version jessie…
Thanks in advance!!
@fernandovg plase show the output of this command
uname -m

Please also double check that you really have a RPi2 and not just a RPi1 Model B 
That’s the most probable reason for this error. If it really is a RPi2 please tell us about your installation method (e.g. manual, repository).
That is my experience as well @uglymagoo I would bet uname -m shows arm6 
Wow that was fast answers!!
Ty guys…
Thats the output for uname -m : armv61 
this is bad isnt?
@fernandovg that means you have a Pi B+ or earlier model, if you want Plex on it then you have to use the chroot method.
Nice I will try it out!!!
I am considering to buy the Pi3 but mainly for the Plex server… I am from Brazil and subtitles are necessary for the other audiences I have… saw some things about the processing power of a Pi2 not being enough for media with subtitles is this true? Mine as B+ earlier model will it suffer more from this processing powerless?
Is the Pi3 powerfull enough for a Plex server including subtitles?

Sorry the bunch of questions … they are somehow related to the issue I have because if it´s not enough for subtitles and the Pi3 is, I will consider only to buy and not to try the choot…
I have a Pi3 but was curious about the out put of the uname -m it being armv7l …what the l stands for?
Also seeing that the download for plexpass is plexmediaserver*.deb, can you just install from that or do you have to still run it through fakeroot to build the deb file yourself?
Thanks as always for your dedication and support for us here!

Are you talking about the Readynas package? It is in the Debian package format but in no way compatible to stock Debian You still have to extract the binaries and use the build-your-own-package path.

There will be no more Plex Media Server updates for your old Raspberry Pi 1, ARMv5 support was dropped recently, so RPi 2/3 (or any other ARMv7, ARMv8 device) is your only option if you would like to use PMS 0.9.17+.
As long as your Plex client supports soft subtitles (no transcoding done by your RPi) a RPi 2/3 is OK. Concerning the transcoding performance @blindpet and the others can tell you more.
Hi,
Thanks for releasing this.
I’ve just installed it on my RPi 3. I’ve connected an NTFS formatted USB hard drive, Raspbian detects it as normal, and I can access the file system and files within subdirectories. Plex can see the drive, but it can’t see any folders or files on the drive - does anyone have any suggestions please?
Thanks for any help
