Here you’ve to provide your Plex TV account to sign in.įor security reason, if the Plex is already installed on the remote system, set up SSH by executing the below command ssh 10.20.39.45 -L 8888:localhost:32400Īfter it run the below command to access the Plex Web Interface It will redirect to the on the remote system by using SSH tunnel. You’ll be directed to the Welcome page of Plex as an initial setup. So, type 127.0.0.1:32400 in your browser and hit enter. I have also tried editing the /etc/default/plexmediaserver file, but I have the same issue.Here you can see that Plex is listening to 0.0.0.0:32400 & 127.0.0.1:32401 Has anyone successfully been able to symlink to a NAS? If so, do you have any insight for me? Now when I say that, it has all the settings, and the media folders added, but there is nothing in them, it is link it’s unable to see any of the metadata folders. Now, when I do a sudo service plexmediaserver start it says it is running, but nothing happens (If I open the browser I get a 404) but if I do a /usr/sbin/start_pms it opens and everything “looks like it is working”. OLD at the end too and created a second symlink to my drobo at that location. “/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support” and I chown it to ex but I noticed that on the next startup of plex, it now starts creating a new database at “/home/username/Library/Application Support”ģ.) I then renamed the “/home/username/Library/Application Support” to have a. I am trying to migrate to a Ubuntu 14.04 system on a VM with a small hard drive partition (16GB):ġ.) I copied the entire Application Support folder (from my Ubuntu 12.04 server to my Drobo 5N.Ģ.) I created a symlink to Application Support on the 14.04 system. My current setup is Ubuntu 12.04 storing Application Support information on a local Hard Drive. Stop Plexįirst thing you will need to do is to stop Plex Media Server The very simple approach I took to make this change was by using a symlink, and a few other small changes. Just to note, my current setup is using OMV (Open Media Vault) that runs Debian, but this should be the same for almost any version of linux, including Ubuntu, etc. etc / default / plexmediaserver file and specifying the location. Update : Check the comments below for additional methods to change the directory, but the easiest will be modifying the Well, I recently had this issue and between metadata and index data I had almost 55GB of a 64GB Solid State Drive used just for Plex metadata and index data! Here’s how I moved all of that data to a new location and did it without making any changes to the configuration… You may also have a very large media collection, and the metadata could be very large in size too. The most recent versions of the Plex Media Server has the option to auto index, depending on your library size, this can take up a lot of space, and in some instances you may need to have this saved in a different location.
