Plex server

[jpecora93]

That was my main purpose for buying a pine, too. There was one guy in Plex Forum who tried it already but with no success so far. Actually, I have no idea where to start. I'm not that familiar with Linux but I definitely try to get into that.

Code:

sudo su -
wget -O - https://dev2day.de/pms/dev2day-pms.gpg.key | apt-key add -
echo "deb https://dev2day.de/pms/ jessie main" >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/pms.list
dpkg --add-architecture armhf
apt-get update
apt-get install binutils:armhf
apt-get install --no-install-recommends plexmediaserver-installer

works on longsleep's original Ubuntu image. But forget about transcoding, Pine64 is not a fast Intel box 

The RPI2 actually can trans code any audio on mine. I just got my Pine64 up and running with Plex and it will actually trans code a video from 1080P to 720P without a problem. I think the reasons the Pine is much faster is 1.) The GB Ethernet is a huge step up. 2.) The 64bit processor and 2GB of memory. I know that the 2GB of memory is not used that much by Plex but the ability for the overhead processes to stay in memory helps a ton. The biggest factor in the performance boost I am seeing is the Proc and the network connection.

Thanks
tkaiser  for the instructions. It worked perfectly.
