I’ve installed PMS on fresh instal of Raspbian stretch on Raspberry Pi 2 B+ using instructions from this forum:?

After reboot service would not start.

$ sudo service plexmediaserver status | cat

To see actual error I’ve looked into /lib/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service and tried to run it myself:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/plexmediaserver /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex\ Media\ Server
Illegal instruction

Has anyone else experienced this?

It’s not a Raspberry Pi 2 B+ but either a Pi 1 B+ or a Pi Zero or something like that. It’s a armv6 device (take a look at uname -a for example). It does not support the armv7 Plex build and there is no armv6 build available. If you like please post a picture of your Pi and we can tell you what it is :slight_smile:

Ups. You’re right its Raspberry Pi B+.

$ uname -a  
Linux jon 4.14.34+ #1110 Mon Apr 16 14:51:42 BST 2018 **armv6l** GNU/Linux

Thanks. Sorry for the trouble.

Hi. Did you find any port that would run in this ARMv6l processor?
