I’m not undestanding.
Did you install on Ubuntu from the SNAP package?
sudo snap list
PRETTY_NAME=“Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS”
NAME=“Ubuntu”
VERSION_ID=“22.04”
VERSION=“22.04.2 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)”
VERSION_CODENAME=jammy
EDITED:
sudo snap list
?
no, did dpkg -i .pkg
sudo snap list
[sudo] password for mediaserver:
sudo: snap: command not found
pdkg -i .pkg ???
dpkg -l | grep -i plexm
mediaserver@mediaserver:~$ dpkg -l | grep -i plexm

I thought you asked me how I installed Plex.
sudo dpkg -i plexmediaserver_1.32.4.7195-7c8f9d3b6_amd64.deb
That’s what I was trying to figure out.
Give me a moment.
There’s no way it will fail to detect PMS on Ubuntu if /var/lib/plexmediaserver exists
[chuck@lizum ~.2001]$ dpkg -l | grep plexm

I will reinstall plex over my previous version.
Works now. Thank you.
For some reason, /var/lib/plexmediaserver was not found.
Don’t shutdown PMS while doing first-level Optimization ?
how do I do that ? what option is it ?
If you have PMS optimize itself – it must be running (obviously).
Now that you have things recognized again.
From within the tool
- Stop PMS
- Auto
- Start
- Exit
should I ignore this ?

Running Plex behind a proxy.
The tool does not care about a proxy.
It only cares about console connectivity to you (the command line).
So these connection failed are fine?
You did a port forward/tunnel as you connected to the command line?
ssh -L
Channel 3 and 4 are used for SSH tunnel / port forwarding inside the SSH connection.
(common when SSH to a remote PMS host AND forwarding port 32400)
yes I did
Then don’t worry about it.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.
anytime!
(you happened to catch me still awake & folding laundry. hahaha)
