PlexConnect install guide for NAS4Free

Does anyone have a install guide to setup PlexConnect on a NAS4Free box?  I already have PMS running in a FreeBSD jail and am trying to determine if I need to install Python.  Python appears to already be installed, but I do not see any Python vars defined and entering 'python' from the command line returns 'command not found'.

 

Any help is appreciated.

I am currently trying to get PlexConnect working on FreeNAS 9.1 in a jail.  I just started working on it, but am currently stuck with the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/multiprocessing/process.py", line 258, in _bootstrap
    self.run()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/multiprocessing/process.py", line 114, in run
    self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs)
  File "/usr/local/lib/plexconnect/WebServer.py", line 185, in Run
    XMLConverter.discoverPMS()
  File "/usr/local/lib/plexconnect/XMLConverter.py", line 221, in discoverPMS
    PMS_list = PlexGDM.Run()
  File "/usr/local/lib/plexconnect/PlexGDM.py", line 61, in Run
    GDM.sendto(Msg_PlexGDM, (IP_PlexGDM, Port_PlexGDM))
error: [Errno 51] Network is unreachable
 
after manually setting the PMS IP and turning auto detect off.  I'm looking through the linux guide and hoping that helps, but this is my first time working with FreeBSD jails.

Well, I gave up on trying to use the version of python that was installed as part of PMS and just installed another version using pkg_add.  Now, if I just had a daemonized version of PlexConnect so I could start it properly on boot. 

For now, in the Brig's Extensions I just added the command '/plexconnect/PlexConnect.py' as a post-jail startup command.  It starts PlexConnect ok, but from the Extensions page it appears that the jail has not started.  I know, it's a lazy hack, but it works.
