Plex serevr is not installed on Raspberry Pi 3, only player!

hi, I have to use a Raspberry Pi 3 as a PLEX server. I have already installed it, but it is not a server. It is always just a web player. Can you help me make a server out of it?

That’s how I installed PLEX.

  1. Copy 2018-11-13-raspbian-stretch-full.img with ApplePi Braker on the MicroSD.

  2. Copy file “SSH” to the boot partition.

  3. SSH connection with terminal built on Macbook.

  4. sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https

  5. sudo wget -O - https://dev2day.de/pms/dev2day-pms.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -

  6. echo “deb https://dev2day.de/pms/ stretch main” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pms.list

  7. sudo apt-get update

  8. sudo apt-get install plexmediaserver-installer

  9. sudo nano /etc/default/plexmediaserver.prev
    PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_USER=plex to PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_USER=pi

  10. sudo service plexmediaserver restart

Plex starts in the browser after logging in as a player and reports no server found.

Step 9. is nonsense and does not do anything. Just forget this file.

Regarding your problem: please read the our setup instructions again, especially the “Initial Web Configuration” Part and use the ssh method.

I did it as in the instructions. This uses the same commands. so i can only access a server. But that is not the server where I can manage my library.

it works now. I have called VNC in the Chrome browser on the Pi 127.0.0.1/32400/web and now everything is correct. Also in Brwoser my macbooks is everything as it should be.

Thanks
