Plex is software that allows you to manage your media and provides the ability to stream your media while away.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Requirements:<\/strong>
\nOS<\/strong>: Ubuntu 10.04 or newer
\nRAM<\/strong>: 1GB+
\n*In general, Plex Media Server doesn’t require large amounts of RAM. 2GB of RAM is typically more than sufficient and some installs (particularly Linux-based installs) can often happily run with even less. Of course, more RAM won’t hurt you and will certainly be helpful if you’re also doing other things on the computer.<\/sup>CPU<\/strong>:No transcoding: Core 2 Duo 1.6GHz (NAS devices based on ARM or PowerPC processors should also be capable of at least one stream with no transcoding)
\nSingle 720p transcode: Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz
\nSingle 1080p transcode: Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz
\n*While Plex Media Server can install and run on a computer with a slower processor, you might not have a very good experience, depending on your usage.<\/sup><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let start and make sure were up to date before we do our install<\/p>\n

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade<\/code><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Installing it is just as easy<\/p>\n

sudo dpkg -i plexmediaserver_0.9.16.3.1840-cece46d_amd64.deb<\/code><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

if completed successfully then your all set browse to http:\/\/server.local.ip.address:32400\/web and you can access the server, to complete the inisal setup you do HAVE to be on the local network if this is a remote install then you can ssh tunnel in.<\/p>\n

(optional) SSH tunnel with putty<\/p>\n

Connect to your server via SSH then right click the title bar and click change settings, Click the (+) next to SSH and click tunnel.<\/p>\n

\"putty<\/a><\/p>\n

now add 32400 in the source port and then add localhost:32400 in the destination (shown above).<\/p>\n
