PMS Desktop Entry

Server Version#: 4.108.0
Player Version#:
I’ve installed plexmediaserver_1.32.5.7349-8f4248874_amd64.deb on pop_os but it doesn’t create a desktop entry for the software. When I click on Show Applications it doesn’t show there. How can I fix this?

You installed the server package not a player/desktop package.

Interface is via Plex/web (web browser)

Linux is not like Windows or MacOS

I used to have a pms icon I could click on and it would open up the browser. It was on pop_os but I can’t remember how I did it.

Could I create a .desktop file for it and if so what would I put in it?

LMGTFY:

In your .desktop file:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Plex Media Server Local Web UI
Type=Link
URL=http://localhost:32400/web
Icon=text-html

Thank you. Where do I store it?
