Thank you for the walk through was super helpful, got my pi 3 in the mail yesterday and I'm up and running with media copying over to 3 old usb drives now on the pi for plex media server.

Nice review there, open media vault looks exactly like freenas.
I'm actually running plex media server on my pi 2 with osmc as the main os, mounting network shares and its shares from there, running well with direct stream.

Good video. Should be noted for those who are using Odroid that this guys instructions are basically the same. Check the ACL as this makes it so Plex can actually see the shares you create.

Many thanks for the great explanation.
Without you I could never put the plex server on.
Best guide I know - greetings from germany.

You don't need to install an plugin for PLEX to appear in Plugins list. The thing that "triggers it to appear" is just "apt-get update".
So either just go to Update Manager and check for updates (whick will run "sudo apt-get update") or SSH into the server and run the command manually.

Thanks for a good video btw :)

Nice one Richard! New video series after long time..keep it coming :-)

[MrChildofmaster]

thanks for this tutorial, I was searching for a solution like this in the last couple of years... Thumbs up Richard! :)

[radicaldreamer]

Thanks man, really helped me out with initiating service for smb and Plex :-)

[MarkStatkus]

I believe after you enable the plexmediaserver-repo you'd need to hit the "update" button at the top to pull down the latest packages available. Most likely it probably did a update when you installed the WOL plugin. Thanks for the vid!

Thank you very much from Spain! Your video is very, very interesting for me, you're a good teacher! Bye

Thanks very much for this tutorial! A couple of works of caution: I couldn't get the image from OMV's website to work on my Pi using Linux tools like Etcher and DD (I used Raspbian Lite and installed the OMV stuff myself), and the issue with Plex not showing up is still present in OMV 4.1.1.

[navrajsinghnavi]

awesome..thanks for so much detailed info..

[mfnbpwnz]

by installing an pluging you're probably triggering "apt-get update" to run in the background. There's probably other ways to make it run manually. Great video, thanks.

OpenMediaVault, although it has a clunky UI - IT JUST HAS SO MANY GOOEY OPTIONS.

thank you for showing me how my pi3 is going to be.

[BluePlanetDrone]

Thank you sooo much for the Das Pi 3 Plex server videos... However Plex pan't see any of my media that is on the mounted thumb drive. I have even formatted it in linux format Ext2. Any ideas how to fix it ?

It does show up and is mounted through the OMV interface. Help ! ???

[johnanaya]

I was wondering if you had set the Raspberry Pi NAS server with OpenMediaVault with more than one hard drive for RAID purposes and how the system performed under those conditions

[joshuahaley]

Nice and helpful
Thay seemed to have fixed the plex problem

After you enable a new repository, you have to hit '(refresh arrow) check' (to refresh the package lists) before you can search for the thing you want from said repository. It's one of those few things that annoy me about the Debian package tools. (When you selected and installed the WoL package, it also refreshed the package lists as a first step.)

Dear, Thanks very much for this tutorial. I was also facing the bug with Plex not appearing... Thanks!!!
