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.
Raspberry Pi 3 (should work fine with Pi 2).This could be a very useful tool as it helps you manage the space on all of your other devices quite well and makes sharing with friends and family easy.
You will be able to upload your media files to the attached storage (USB pen drive or External HD) and then stream the media from the server to any other device, be it mobile phone, or connected computer. Plex Client is supported for all of these devices.įor this tutorial, we will be creating the Plex server on Rasbperry Pi. You can access the data from all your favorite devices like Web, Android Smart phone, Apple, Amazon fire TV, iOS, Windows, Xbox, PlayStation, Chromecast, Smart TVs etc. The Plex Home Media Server allows you to keep all your media files in one place and access them from any and all of your other devices. Clients can access the media files from the Plex Server. Media players are the clients running on the client devices like mobile, computer etc.Here we are using Raspberry Pi as Plex Server. Plex organize all you media files, whether it be music, movies, photos, shows, in clean manner with posters and thumbnails and also show ratings and other things from the online services.
The Plex Media Server can be run on many Operating Systems like Windows, macOS and Linux etc.
