![]() When watching a movie, the disk access is on the disk where the media is located not where Plex is located. Performance wise it should not really matter, heavy disk utilisation occurs only when updating library sections. If you install Plex on one of the data disks (disk1 etc.) then Plex will keep that disk and parity spinning (to my knowledge, haven't tried it personally). ![]() Changed the Plex temp directory in unRAID web gui to "mnt/cache/apps/plex/temp" Changed the Plex library directory in unRAID web gui to "/mnt/cache/apps/plex"ĩ. I think this step is not necessary and Plex will auto create the folders but better safe than sorry.Ĩ. Created "/mnt/cache/apps/plex" and "mnt/cache/apps/plex/temp" folders using mkdir in telnet session (OR you can do this using Windows explorer). Ran " installplg /boot/config/plugins/g" in the existing telnet session (OR you could reboot unRAID through web gui)ħ. Copied plexupdater to config/plugins folder on flash (downloaded from )Ħ. Telnetted into unRAID using Putty and ran "installpkg /boot/extra/PlexMediaServer-*-unRAID.txz" (OR you could reboot unRAID through web gui)ĥ. Copied PlexMediaServer-*-unRAID.txz into extra-folder on flash (downloaded from )Ĥ. Created a cache-only share called apps (Shares / Add share)ģ. Enabled user shares in unRAID web gui (Settings / Share settings)Ģ. I've also posted basically the very same steps in this post on the massive Plex Media Server thread in the plugins section:ġ. Trying to figure out how this works, how plex can just access tv and movies only from the unraid shares and not everything :-/Īll the steps are listed on this post on the already linked thread. Install with installpkg /boot/extra/PlexMediaServer-*-unRAID.txzĢ steps ? Didn't really tell you if anything else was needed, cache drive etc. This is all I have found for installation instructions so far.Ĭopy PlexMediaServer-*-unRAID.txz to /boot/extra/ (this installs PMS on every reboot) I'd love to make a section myself for the step by step for everyone to access once I get it going. If anyone could spread some light on this matter I'd appreciate it. I would love the assistance on anything I have asked above, I am on the road right now so trying to gain some knowledge on this so when I get back from (for the short time I am there) I can tackle this matter and have it running nice for my family before I have to leave again My unraid 5 USB is a FRESH install, no plugins or extras have ever been installed, but PLEX run right from UNRAID looks REALLY nice, and for the 3-4 computers around my house hooked up to TVs it looks very user friendly. I have been hunting for some step by step instructions of doing a FRESH install of plex. ![]() If a cache drive is needed, what size would be recommended 1TB 2TB ? What I have been trying to find out is the step by step instructions to getting PMS setup on my unraid box.ĭo i HAVE to have a cache drive in my unraid box ? do I need any specific plugins other then PMS Do you still need to have the server for the app on a windows system or is UnRAID able to be the host server for the media app you are running / plugin's etc ? from screens I have been seeing it looks a lot better. ![]() ![]() Plex I didn't seem to like and was really annoyed with it actually when I used it last. However I think things have come a long way in regards to the GUI apps we can use today. I ran plex and XBMC long time ago, and it just was not cutting it for me, I always liked MPC:TH with my codecs I used on my computers around the house. I was curious to what would be the best to use with UnRAID. It seems these days there are a lot of nice GUI's that are used, poster art, episode synopsis, network, etc. Hello, I have been running my media to my many computers in my home the old school way, by just accessing the share withing 'network' via windows, clicking the folder and the file of the show or movie I want to view. Hello, I am new to everything UnRAID 5 has to offer, and it seems it can offer PLEX MEDIA SERVER right on the UnRAID BOX which is nice. ![]()
