Plex Webtools plug-in on Raspberry Pi2 - permissions question

[dwl99]

I have Plex Media Server running on my Raspberry Pi 2 and wanted to install the Webtools bundle. I have successfully downloaded & extracted the Webtools.bundle folder to the Plex Plugins folder:

Code: Select all

cd '/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins'
sudo wget https://github.com/ukdtom/WebTools.bundle/releases/download/3.0.0/WebTools.bundle.zip
sudo apt-get install unzip -y
sudo unzip WebTools*
sudo rm -rf WebTools.bundle.zip
sudo chown pi:root -R ./WebTools.bundle
sudo reboot

However the plugin doesn't seem to be running. I suspect that it's something I've messed up with setting the permissions for the plugin. I'm logged in under username "pi". Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Give permissions to everybody just to see if it works...

chmod 777 any directory you want

Thanks Pete,

I changed the chown line to:

Code: Select all

sudo chmod 777 ./WebTools.bundle

but still no success

Yes here tried Plex once on my MythTV box then removed it.

That said found a you tube video showing how to install Webtools on the RPi

Thanks, I found that too but it depends on having a pre-installed package named main-menu which I haven't been able to locate.

Found the source relating to using WebTools for Plex.

Thanks Pete, I've been there already and still cannot find the main-menu package mentioned.

Hi

You need to set the owner of the groupe as your self: sudo chown pi:pi -R ./WebTools.bundle

Thanks - unfortunately that didn't work either, WebTools still aren't showing under Plugins
