I downloaded and installed the app. Now I am trying to install the media server using the Plex Wiki. I got it to download, but when I try to run:sudo yum localinstall plexmediaserver-1.1.4.2757-24ffd60.x86_64.rpm
I get:
Redirecting to '/usr/bin/dnf localinstall plexmediaserver-1.1.4.2757-24ffd60.x86 _64.rpm' (see 'man yum2dnf')
No such command: localinstall. Please use /usr/bin/dnf --help
It could be a DNF plugin command, try: "dnf install 'dnf-command(localinstall)'"
I remembered seeing somewhere that yum had been replaced by dnf for Fedora 23. I entered this:
sudo dnf localinstall plexmediaserver-1.1.4.2757-24ffd60.x86_64.rpm
And got this:
Last metadata expiration check: 1:36:52 ago on Sat Oct 15 12:12:42 2016.
Can not load RPM file: plexmediaserver-1.1.4.2757-24ffd60.x86_64.rpm.
I ran systemctl status amahi-plex just in case and got this:

Re: Can't install Plex Media Server
You will need to uninstall amahi-plex first. Then add the exclude line in the repo file.
Once done, use the following command to install:
That should fix your issue.
BTW we don't provide support this type of install. Only the Amahi version.

Re: Can't install Plex Media Server
Thanks for responding. I appreciate that you guys don't support this, but you're still willing to help.
I'm kind of new at this, so which is the exclude line and which is the repo file and should I use yum or dnf when doing it?
Thanks.

Re: Can't install Plex Media Server
As described in the wiki:
Either by auto update (done so around midnight), or if you ask manually for updating the system, Amahi will replace the original Plex Media Server package with it's own amahi-plex (webapp). In order to prevent that you have to exclude the auto-update in the Amahi repo. Edit (as root) /etc/yum/yum.conf (Amahi 8 older) or /etc/dnf/dnf.conf (Amahi 9 or newer) and add the following at the bottom:
exclude=amahi-plex

Re: Can't install Plex Media Server
OK...but that's like 7 steps past where I was...how do I get there? I can't get past step 1. Is this not in a step order? If not, what do I need to do?
Re: Can't install Plex Media Server
Sorry I don't use this app so can't help.
In my opinion you are best to stick with the current Amahi version installed by the app.
Maybe someone else in the community can jump in.

Re: Can't install Plex Media Server
I'm confused. I thought the Amahi version was just the web connection to the server and the wiki I am following is the install of the actual server. Is this not the case? If not and I can use the Amahi app on its own, how do I setup a server? When I connect to it, it's looking for a server and doesn't have an option to create a server.
I mean when I use the Amahi app, it signs me into my account and the first thing it suggests is "Download Plex Media Server".

Re: Can't install Plex Media Server
No, the plex-media-server App is the the server. Not sure where you got the idea if was not the full app. The wiki guidance is for those who are Plex Pass users and want to use the latest build.I'm confused. I thought the Amahi version was just the web connection to the server and the wiki I am following is the install of the actual server.
As for using it, you will have to check their web site. We don't provide support for use of the app. You also might be able to search the forums for assistance as well.

Re: Can't install Plex Media Server
Let me clarify. When I activate the Plex Media Server app from Amahi. It goes straight to the white pag. Then I used the workaround http://hda:32400/web. That leads to the sign-in page of Plex. Once I sign-in it says
Get your Plex Media Server
To get started streaming your media everywhere, download and install Plex Media Server on the computer or device where you keep your media.
EDIT: I figured it out on the Plex website. I had to go here first :http://server.local.ip.address:32400/web

Re: Can't install Plex Media Server
Ignore that message as Plex Media Server is already installed.Get your Plex Media Server

You can verify by doing:
Code: Select all
dnf list amahi-plex
