What about Plex Server addon in the software center?

Feature

I guess PLEX is not used by many and is not that important for users here, sad to see that it was not added to the new alpha version.

:frowning:

I had to install ownCloud on Zentyal myself, make sure it didnā€™t break anything, plug it into mysql, watch the updatesā€¦ then watch the Zentyal devs go in a direction few freeloaders had need for, but, the machines are still doing what they were built for and are still updated with security fixes, with NS itā€™s all taken care of.

Point is, the best way to ensure people spend their own time building what you want for you, for nothing, is to go to their home, and then snivel and bitch that they havenā€™t done what you want.

I think that itā€™s a good candidate for bountysource. The roadmap might be:

  • open a new issue on github for 7 version
  • create a bounty with the aim of develop a new module based on your notes
  • Users interested like you can fund the bounty
  • Developers (or would-be devs) like @stephdl @dz00te @ctek @islipfd19 @Nas or others can create the module which closes the issue, claiming the bounty.
  • Finally we can put this new module on the NethForge, installable directly from webinterface

Howā€™s it look?

Sounds good thanks for the response, have not been on for a while. I have been very busy helping the kids with there work. Not much time to spend here like before. Can someone pick this up and do it please I would love to but my time is limited at the moment. I would love to see PLEX on nethserver also with auto update like FreeNas does. I hope to be back again soon with the community, nice bunch of guys hereā€¦

O.K. I tested it on Nethserver 7.2.1511 Alpha 2 and all is working well.

Notes:
Make sure on the script to change to the latest plex server version.

  1. A plex User has to be created before installation of the server.
  2. Log in via your network via samba and create a folder in the plex directory called movies, add a few files. Make a folder called tvshows, add a few files.
  3. Connect to your server via browser http://192.168.1.XXX:32400/web/
    setup your servers name, and all info it will ask for
  4. The plex files will be found in /var/lib/nethserver/home/plex/
    check that your server is running on nethserver by looking in the services window.

Also a script for upgrading would be needed since PLEX upgrades very frequent.
CHECK FOR UPGRADE Button.

Thanks

I like this idea, More so that Plex is snitching information on your library and send it to some X company.
And the free alternative always win over Plex.
