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](http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/71220-linux-install-for-plex-connect/?hl=linux) 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. ---
