PLEX Plugin in 9.3 won't install

[mrredskin]

still getting ix-warden issue on jail configuration. every time. now i can't even get past 20% installation of Plex plugin. I'm trying 9.2.1.9 as we speak. Most help videos are still of that version, anyway. If I can figure out the previous version with relative ease, I'll come back to 9.3

I had the same issue, I re-installed 2 times. After that I had a fresh install and I made a "jails root" Dataset but my plugin install still failed. I deleted my made jails root and then tried again and my plugins started to download. Hope this helps :)

Same problem here..Plex plugins fail to install, however if I tried to install other plugins it works fine.

I cannot delete my jail root just like that because of my Vbox and there are VMs currently running in there too.

do any plugins install? can you install a standard jail?

Yes, I am able to install standard jail without any issue. I even tried deleting Plex directory folder under Storage Tab, and then rebooted freenas system but still not working.

PlexMediaServer 0.9.15.6.1714

You said you couldn't install plex earlier, but now you say you are trying to delete it as if it did at one time install?
deleting the dataset from the storage tab doesn't work?

Can you install any plugins? maybe your plugins jail template is broken.

What I meant was I deleted the source directory of that plugin (Plex).

Now I'm getting below error of any plugin I download.

Error: Failed to download plugin

OK, I'm not personally sure. but we do know its not specific to any plugin, but the plugins system

Update: I've deleted all my installed plugins and Jails (everything), system rebooted.

My jails config as follows: "Jails>Configuration: Jail Root: /mnt/tank"

First, I install Transmission, CouchPotato and BTsync, everything works just fine there without any issue, but make no difference on PlexMediaServer problem still the same "Error: Fail to download plugin".

I've tried everything except re-installing the whole freenas system. Any other advice?

Has this bug been fixed? I'm running FreeNAS-11-STABLE, and getting this same error. I'm running FN11 on new hardware, IntelI3 with 16 GB of RAM installed on a SANDISK 32GB USB thumb drive, and have 3- 4GB Hard drive in RaidZ format. Everything appears to run fine, but I cannot get the Plex plugin to install. I keep getting this error...

I really want to you FreeNAS, but if it doesn't work wit Plex, I'll have to go back to Windows :(

Try installing in a Jail rather than using the plug in - follow this guide (which is up to date for 11 despite its title).
