| + | Now that the system has the source from where it can load the Plex Media Server, you have to update the systems package lists: | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | apt-get update | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | Now you can install the Plex Media Server: | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | apt-get install plexmediaserver | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ===Setup Plex Media Server=== | ||
| + | |||
| + | To get access to the Plex Media Server, open your web browser and go to http://IP-address-of-your-container:32400/web . | ||
| + | |||
| + | Now you can start to setup th Plex Media Server. On the first page, you can login to an existing Plex account or create a new one. If you want to continue without using an account, click on "What's this?" in the lower right corner. | ||

| + | |||
| + | On the next screen, click on "Skip and accept limited functionality" under the main window. | ||
| + | {{ :virtualisation:pms_setup_2.png?nolink&600 |}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | Click on "Got it!" | ||
| + | {{ :virtualisation:pms_setup_3.png?nolink&600 |}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | Here, you can give your Plex Media Server a name that is displayed to the clients. If not, the servers host name will be used. | ||
| + | {{ :virtualisation:pms_setup_4.png?nolink&600 |}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | In this screen you can add folders with different media types to be managed by Plex. You can also add folders later. | ||
| + | {{ :virtualisation:pms_setup_5.png?nolink&600 |}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | Click on "Done" and setup is completed. | ||
| + | {{ :virtualisation:pms_setup_6.png?nolink&600 |}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | Now you are directed to the Dashboard. From here on you can configure your Plex Media Server to your needs. | ||
| + | {{ :virtualisation:pms_ohne_login.png?nolink&600 |}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | Plex Media Server temporarily transcodes all media to a format that the client can play directly. This can cause to high CPU load on the NB2800, exspecially when there are more clients to be served at a time. If you want to lower the load of your server, you can adjust transcoding settings to your needs. For that, go to Settings -> Server -> click on "Show Advanced" -> Transcoder. | ||
