Hey there,
I followed the steps to create a service under Ubuntu (located in /etc/init.d/plexconnect). It's possibvle to start PLexConnect via 'sudo service plexconnect start', but that service deosn't get started with the system, so I still have to start it manually… Any solution, or hint on this?
Have you set the service to start automatically ? It is part of the last steps in the post.
sudo chown root:root /etc/init.d/plexconnect
sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/plexconnect
sudo update-rc.d plexconnect defaults
These instructions will cause update-rc.d to read the comments at the top of the script (shown below) and setup the daemon appropriately. Do you also have a daemon called plexmediaserver on the server that you are installing plexconnect on? If not remove plexmediaserver from the Required-Start and Required-Stop entries or else the daemon won't start since there is not a running plexmediaserver.
