Then select your timezone, and closest city This problem is associated with your pi having a wrong time and date. You may encounter a problem at this stage where the terminal will return something like this The next thing we need to do is get the dev2day repository (A project documentation on plex) which contains Plex but to do this we need a crypt O key for the dev2day website.
Either way, you’re now ready for the next step. If you already have it, you’ll just get a message kicked back telling you so. This though comes with newer version of the raspbian and its needed to be able to access the https packages via apt-get.
Next thing for us is to install (or confirm that we have installed) the HTTPS transport. Reboot the raspberry pi to effect changes. Next, we edit the cmdline.txt file of the raspberry pi to include the IP address.Īdd the below line at the end of the file, replace "IP_ADDRESS" with your IP address" This will display the current IP address. The next thing we need to do is to assign a static IP address to our raspberry pi.įirst thing we need to do is be sure of the current IP address. Wait for a while, then restart the terminal session and continue to step 2.
The first thing I like doing before starting every project is updating the pi, to get every latest update to the OS in. We will take implementing the Plex server on Raspberry Pi in steps, follow them carefully and the project will work like a charm. Lot of assumptions right? Yea but those are pretty basic stuffs which you can learn from our previous Raspberry Pi projects.
So here I am assuming that you are familiar with setting up the Raspberry Pi and you know how to access your Raspberry Pi via terminal using software like putty. All the basic Hardware and Software requirements are previously discussed, you can look it up in the Raspberry Pi Introduction.
In this raspberry pi plex server tutorial we are using Raspberry Pi 3 with Raspbian Jessie OS.
