PMP embedded or OpenPHT plus PMS on same system

Hi,

A friend of mine has seen my Plex system, and wants me to set them up with a simple one box system, I have suggested an i3 nuc, as they do not need lots of power. I was wondering if it is possible to setup PMP embedded or even OpenPHT and then install the Plex server in the background OPENELEC part of the system, they have a laptop that they could use to then administer the system and also a 4tb usb 3 external hdd for file storage, if this is possible, or if anyone has done it, how would i go about achieving it.

The Plex Media Server will not install on OpenElec

Why will it not install, I thought it was just a “lightweight” version of Linux, or is it that it is too "lightweight "

Technically, it may be possible to run PMS on OPENElec, but no one has compiled a package it.

Is there a reason it needs to be OpenElec, and not Linux, or Windows?

Windows would require a licence and they want it to be as simple as possible with no other OS getting in the way, pretty much like an appliance.

However, this is for OpenELEC, not OpenPHT Embedded or PMP Embedded which uses parts of the OpenELEC OS.
