Hi there i have followed the guide on here on how to install plex on rasberry pi3 b+ without the need of the dev 2day and it worked fine, however it is not telling me that there is a server update and to download manually. i have followed the guide here
https://support.plex.tv/articles/235974187-enable-repository-updating-for-supported-linux-server-distributions/?_ga=2.260725455.333542799.1554661113-916640688.1503438914
But my server is still not updating, error message below.
W: Conflicting distribution: https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb public InRelease (expected public but got )
E: Fnailed to fetch https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb/dists/public/InRelease Unable to find expected entry ‘main/binary-armhf/Packages’ in Release file (Wrog sources.list entry or malformed file)
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Ok i will try this please note my pi is tunning raspen stretch
Thank you it has worked, now comes the tricky part of allowing the pi to see the movies on my usb stick. i have tried to follow the mounting guide on here but its hard to follow is there a simpler way step by setp by step instuctions
my usb drive is currently showing under default /dev/sda1 121192444 4407816 116784628 4% /media/pi/KINGSTON.
/dev/sda1: LABEL=“KINGSTON” UUID=“80CEE37ACEE3673E” TYPE=“ntfs” PARTUUID="a2869c
the films are in a folder called movies but plex on the pi can not see them.
Thank you yes i know its raspien i was copying the location from my terminal screen. lol is it worth downloading the following as well

How do you fancy puttying into my pi and do this bit for me lol
Will the 2016 guide you sent me work for the Raspberry Pi 3b +
Do i have to create a mount point or can i use the default one that it automounts to as i am running stretch desktop
I also not keen on messing with FStab everytime i have messed with it its crashed my pi lol i go on holiday in 2 weeks so trying to get this up and running for my kids lol
any ideas on this
chown: changing ownership of ‘/media/pi/KINGSTON’: Read-only file system
i have it working boot the direct video playback is a bit stuttery if i play it in vlc it plays smoothly
Thanks for that I now have another issue.
I have turned my raspberry pi into a portable media server well I have tried at least.
My pi is podcasting its SSID on its static IP address is 192.168.1.145 (example)
My tablet has Plex app installed and connects to this static IP address and finds the server PRIMEDIA and can play the videos from it perfectly now when testing to see if it can handle 2 streams I install and sign into the plex app on my mobile phone. Then I connect to the same static IP address but my phone says one of two things. PRIMEDIA offline yet my tappet is connected. Or Unavailable need to as the user for permission.
Also when I try to access the web interface from my tablet, or phone without being connected to the internet, I get the plex logo appear and then it goes off saying server not avaliable. When I plug it back into the internet and connect it loads up fine.
I have configured it using Hostapd and DNMSq and this following guide.
See guide attached that was used for setting up setting up the access point

Also when installing plex would you recomend installing mini DLNA or is DLNA already in beeded within the plex server prgoram, would you also recomend a samber share on pi to move files around from windows to pi or ftp
Thanks
I am having trouble again allowing plex to see what is on my hard drive I have not bothered using fstat but just did the following
home/pi# sudo chown -R pi:pi /media/pi/KINGSTON/Movies
root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# sudo chmod -R 775 /media/pi/KINGSTON/Movies
but when loading plex up it sees the drive but not the files, do i need to change the user from pi to plex
i have sorted the access out now but how i make my rasberry pi plex server portable, i connect my tablet to the access point on my pi open the plex app and it wont load my movies
Plex Media Server is not designed to be used “offline”. Crucial parts of it (e.g. codec download, user permissions check) require plex.tv access. You will not be able to sustain a stable service with your setup. It is what is is, I am afraid.
