freenas plex plugin update 0.9.10.3

[jaymade]

i really enjoy plex on my freenas. Ideal setup for me. now that plex will work with xbox one even better!

the problem i am having is trying to get my xbox one to see plex on freenas. the plug in is 0.9.9. I get a error on xbox one saying that that version will not work with xbox app.


any idea on how i can install plex 0.9.10.3 of freenas 9.2 or idea of when plug in will be updated?

thanks for the reply SweetAndLow

i haven't delved into the command line much, usully just install though plugins tab, so please forgive my ignorance ahead of time.

i was following the tut, 1st issue i ran into was error when running
cd /usr/ports/multimedia/plexmediaserver-plexpass/ && make install clean

# cd /usr/ports/multimedia/plexmediaserver/ && make install clean
===> plexmediaserver-0.9.9.13.525_1 pkg(8) must be version 1.3.8 or greater, bu
t you have 1.2.7_2. You must upgrade the ports-mgmt/pkg port first.
*** [install] Error code 1

so i then reinstalled the package to 1.3.8, recieved this error when i entered
cd /usr/ports/multimedia/plexmediaserver-plexpass/ && make install clean

pkg-static: PACKAGESITE in pkg.conf is no longer supported. Convert to the new repository style. See pkg.conf(5)

so how would i convert to a new repository style?

 

[danb35]

Do the file /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf exist? If so, try renaming it to pkg.conf.old, and try the make install clean again.

Did you have any luck with this? I'm looking to do the same thing. Plex wants me to update, to do so requires me to download the file.. now what? Do we really have to run another jail?

First off, i wanted to thank Hunter, danb35 and SweetAndLo for their help.

Tto answer danb35, the pkg.conf did not exist and i got everything else so wonky that i deleted the jail and started over.

here are the steps i did to get Plex (with plex pass) 0.9.11 running on my Freenas. There maybe a simpler way of going about this, since i am new to CLI i jotted down what i did to help other noobs like myself. Feel free to chime in for a better procedure.

from freenas web gui

• added a jail.
• Added storage

from shell
#jls (to see id of jail)
#jexec (jailID) tcsh
#portsnap fetch extract update

# cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg
# make
# make install clean

ran into an older package error so i
# make deinstall
# make reinstall
it will prompt to run pkg2ng
# pkg2ng

# cd /usr/ports/multimedia/plexmediaserver-plexpass/ && make install clean
# echo plexmediaserver_plexpass_enable="YES" >> /etc/rc.conf
# service plexmediaserver_plexpass start

open browser to ipaddressOfJail:32400/web/index.html#!/dashboard

so far i can see the storage and video in it. Since i remoted, I will test it with my xbox one when i get home later this evening.
