(Note I haven't tested this on FreeNAS 9.10 or FreeNAS 11) --- If input is given I can update the guide.

• Add PlexPy Jail (you can also install it within the PMS Jail if you wish)
• Open the shell through plexpy.
• pkg install python2 databases/py-sqlite3 security/py-openssl security/ca_root_nss git or if that doesn't work ~ pkg install python2 databases/py-sqlite3 security/ca_root_nss git
• cd /usr/local/share/
• git clone https://github.com/JonnyWong16/plexpy.git
• chmod 777 plexpy or to allow one user: chown -R user:group plexpy
• cd plexpy
• python2 PlexPy.py
• PlexPy will be loaded in your browser or listening @ http://localhost:8181 (http://192.168.1.xxx:8181)
• To automate the PlexPy script just do this (in root directory):
  • cp /usr/local/share/plexpy/init-scripts/init.freenas /etc/rc.d/plexpy
  • chmod 777 /etc/rc.d/plexpy
    • edit /etc/rc.d/plexpy
      • edit the following line: ${plexpy_user:="xxxx"}
      • I just used 'root' for the plexpy_user
  • edit /etc/rc.conf and add plexpy_enable="YES" to another line.
  • Restart the plexpy jail
  • service plexpy start or service plexpy stop or service plexpy status can now be run

If you get this error:



edit the first line in plexpy.py from

#!/usr/bin/env python to #!/usr/local/bin/python2.7

The following only applies if you installed PlexPy using git. Stop PlexPy, then run the following commands from the command line/shell in the PlexPy folder.

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/JonnyWong16/plexpy.git
git fetch origin
git checkout master
git branch -u origin/master
git reset --hard origin/master
git pull
