Help me please.

Thank’s to all.

  1. Stop PMS
  2. as root, delete "/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Preferences.xml"
  3. Start PMS
  4. If it is on the same subnet as your computer, open it directly with http://ip.of.ras.pi:32400/web and the (first-run) welcome and setup wizard will greet you. Signing in and claiming it will establish you as the owner.
  5. If on a different subnet, Open a ssh -L 8888:localhost:32400 ip.of.ras.pi and then http://localhost:8888/web on your local browser…

I’ve deleted the file Preferences.xml but not work again :frowning:

I’ve try to perform " sudo ssh -L 8888:localhost:32400 ip.of.ras.pi` but it’s required the password, which password i insert?

The default credentials of raspberry Pi3 are <user: pi> and <password: raspberry>. I try to insert <password: raspberry> but not work :frowning:

You created it with Ubuntu, right?

If so, you will need to log in as yourself (whatever the ‘default username’ is) .

The command line only need be altered slightly to tell ssh which username to log in as on the Pi.

ssh -l username_to_log_in_as -L 8888:localhost:32400 ip.of.ras.pi

Ok I have open ssh channel but not work again…

This my snapshot

in addictional I perform this tutorial: diyhobi.com/install-plex-media-server-on-raspberry-pi-3/

223.23.4.90 is not a valid private network IP . Your network and Pi must be in this address range https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network

I am moving this to Italiano thread. It will be easier to help you. I am sorry I cannot assist more.

11

I feel stupid…I change immediatly ip range!

12

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS It works!

I’m an idiot

Thank you very much for you patience! :smiley:

Sorry, another question…It’s possible add folder from local network (NAS HDD) in Plex Server Library?

14

Yes,

Mount the NAS share using /etc/fstab at the Linux level. Once mounted, with permissions relaxed so Plex can read the files (it does not need permission to write), it will find your media.

NFS mounts appear in fstab as:

ip.address.of.server:/sharename /local/mount/directory nfs defaults,auto,rw,nofail,bg 0 0

15

ip.address.of.server:/sharename /local/mount/directory nfs defaults,auto,rw,nofail,bg 0 0
The string, It will allow, in case of reboot the Raspberry Pi3, the NAS share will mount in automatically?

16

read the electronic manual page for fstab. it will teach you all you need to know about the string.

If you are going to use Linux, you need to learn how to make it do what you need.

Thank you very much for all support.
