plex plugin channel need custom jail setup, need help.

[damdude]

Hi all the masters of freenas

I have Freenas setup with plex plugin working on it. I used had this awesome unofficial channel inside plex called "einthusan" (https://einthusan.tv/intro/) a great website to watch hindi movies free. It used to work fine but now this website owners have converted it into a complex website ( basically redesign to earn money from ads). new website works fine ( 90% of the time) from laptop but that einthusan channel stopped working and one guy from forums.plex.tv graciously fixed the channel also to make it working with windows platform

BUT.....

now in order for that channel to work the freenas jail I need some custom setup/ changes which is where I need help from you guys.
According to this page ( https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/165072/rel-einthusan-channel-indian-movies/p7 ) where he explains what need to be done on plex server side is I need to have a firefox running on the jail with xvfb and have updated python and simmerJs.

I have no clue how to enable that. I upgraded my jail pkg with latest so that I can get the latest python. installed xvfb through pkg install. but not sure how to install firefox and make it run with this plex's channel.


FREENAS: FreeNAS-9.10.1
PLEX SERVER: 1.3.3.3148
PYTHON: python2.7.13

From what I can tell of the plugin it is somehow using firefox to display a stream and then hooking it into plex. My guess is that it is running the stream in a window offscreen and sending the data to the plex client. As the FreeBSD jail does not actually display anything there is no way for the plugin to work. You would likely need to setup plex on a computer running a GUI to make this work.
